Association Mapping of Resistance to Yellow Rust in Winter Wheat Cultivars and Elite Genotypes
Yellow (stripe) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis
f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a destructive disease of
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) all over the world,
particularly in the Central and West Asia and
North Africa (CWANA) ...
Modelling the Effects of Soil Conditions on Olive Productivity in Mediterranean Hilly Areas
The majority of olive production in Mediterranean environments is characterized by low external inputs and is practiced in hilly
areaswith shallowsoils.This study aimed to study the nutritional status for olive trees ...
A SSR kit to study genetic diversity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
A chickpea simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker reference kit has been developed based on the
genotyping of the global chickpea composite collection (3,000 accessions) with 35 SSR markers.
The kit consists of three pools ...
A Participatory GIS Approach to Identify Critical Land Degradation Areas and Prioritize Soil Conservation for Mountainous Olive Groves (Case Study)
Climate change scenarios predict an
increase in the frequency of heavy rainfall events in
some areas. This will increase runoff and soil erosion,
and reduce agricultural productivity, particularly on
vulnerable mountainous ...
Developing scenarios to assess sunflower and soybean yield under different sowing dates and water regimes in the Bekaa valley (Lebanon): Simulations with Aquacrop
In a semi-arid environment, the main challenge for crop production is water
limitation in space and in time. Considered as appropriate tools, models are used to
evaluate the effects of water deficit on crop productivity ...
Long-Term Effects of Wastewater Irrigation on Soil Heavy Metal Contamination in Peri-urban Areas of Aleppo, Syria
The present study was conducted to assess the heavy metal (Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni, Pb, and Zn) distribution in soils of the area that had been under wastewater irrigation for more than 25 years in peri-urban Aleppo, Syria. Wastewater ...
Effect of zero tillage system, seeding rate and row spacing on growth, yield and its components of bread wheat in moderate rainfall area in ninevah province.
A RCBD factorial experiment with 3 factors in Split Split Plot design was conducted in 2011-2012 agricultural season at Telkief location in rainfed field (183.5 mm–very drought season) to evaluate the effect of tillage ...
Direct seeding of Salsola vermiculata for rehabilitation of degraded arid and semi-arid rangelands
Proper soil preparation provides the basis for good seed
germination and establishment of steppe vegetation in
the arid and semi-arid areas of West Asia and North
Africa. Salsola vermiculata is a key shrub species of ...
Winter Wheat Eastern European Regional Yield Trial: Identification of Superior Genotypes and Characterization of Environments
The International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (IWWIP)—a collaboration between the government of Turkey, the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT), and the International Center for Agricultural ...
Overexpression of the transcription factor HvSNAC1 improves drought tolerance in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
NAC proteins constitute a family of plantspecific
transcription factors that are involved in many
plant cellular processes including responses to abiotic
stress. In this study, a cDNA clone encoding the
HvSNAC1 transcription ...
