Wheat production and breeding in Sub-Saharan Africa: Challenges and opportunities in the face of climate change
Purpose – This paper aims to review the current status of wheat production, farming systems, production constraints and wheat demand-supply chain analysis; the role of international and national breeding programs and their ...
Occurrence of Septoria tritici blotch (Zymoseptoria tritici) disease on durum wheat, triticale, and bread wheat in Northern Tunisia
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most important cereal crop in Tunisia, nonetheless production is highly affected by drought and diseases mainly Septoria tritici blotch (STB) caused by Zymoseptoria tritici (Roberge ex ...
Phosphate-Solubilizing and Auxin-Producing Rhizobacteria Promote Plant Growth Under Saline Conditions
The world loses 3 ha of arable lands every minute due to salinization. To counteract adverse effects of salinity on plants, the use of PGPR is an efficient/cheaper method that induces salt stress tolerance in plants. The ...
Development of SNP assays for hessian fly response genes, Hfr-1 and Hfr-2, for marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding
Background
The Hessian fly response genes, Hfr-1 and Hfr-2, have been reported to be significantly induced in a Hessian fly attack. Nothing is known about the allelic variants of these two genes in susceptible (S) and ...
Association of KASP markers with Hessian fly resistance in wheat of diverse origin
Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (Say)) is a major pest in wheat producing areas of United States,
Canada, Europe, and North Africa but has not been found in Australia. Host plant resistance is thought to
involve a similar ...
Heat-Tolerant QTLs Associated with Grain Yield and Its Components in Spring Bread Wheat under Heat-Stressed Environments of Sudan and Egypt
Heat stress decreases photosynthesis, pollen viability, grain number and weight, and hence lowers yield and quality of wheat by variable amounts among different cultivars and genotypes. The present study was carried out ...
