QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
Quantitative trait loci associated with adaptation to Mediterranean dryland conditions in barley
The objective of the present study was to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) influencing agronomic performance across rain fed Mediterranean environments in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from the ...
Comparison of doubled haploid lines and F2 bulks for the improvement of barley in the dry areas of North Syria
Drought stress is the main factor limiting barley yields in West Asia and North Africa. This study compares the utility of doubled haploid lines (DHLs) and conventional F2 plant-derived bulks (F2Bs) in improving barley in ...
Heritability and genetic gain of digestible organic matter intake of barley straw genotypes by sheep, using repeatable in situ- and laboratory-based indicator traits
The voluntary digestible organic matter intake (DOMI) of mature barley crops (Hordeum spp.) for sheep depends largely on straw quality. Direct measurement of DOMI is laborious; consequently, the research reported here ...
Syria - Participatory barley breeding—farmers’ input becomes everyone’s gain
Kherbet El Dieb, north of Aleppo, is one of 24 Syrian villages involved in a participatory plant breeding (PPB) initiative started by the International Center for Agricultural Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA). Yields there ...
SSR analysis of introgression of drought tolerance from the genome of Hordeum spontaneum into cultivated barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp vulgare)
Wild barley (Hordeum vulgare ssp. spontaneum) and landraces are important sources of resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses since they possess wide genetic diversity that may be missing in current elite varieties. In ...
Diversity for Disease Resistance in Barley Landraces from Syria and Jordan
A number of barley landraces collected in Syria and Jordan were evaluated for resistance to yellow rust, powdery mildew, scald and covered smut by inoculating single-head progenies with local pathogen strains during two ...
Variation at the vernalisation genes Vrn‑H1 and Vrn‑H2 determines growth and yield stability in barley (Hordeum vulgare) grown under dryland conditions in Syria
The objective of the present study was to identify
QTL influencing agronomic performance in rain-fed
Mediterranean environments in a recombinant inbred line
(RIL) population, ARKE derived from the Syrian barley
landrace, ...
Plant Genetic Resources and Plant Improvement as Tools to Develop Sustainable Agriculture
This paper addresses the current and future contributions of plant genetic resources and plant improvement to sustainable agriculture with reference to the activities of the International Center for Agricultural Research ...
Genetic diversity in barley landraces from Syria and Jordan
Single-head progenies derived from barley landraces collected along the Fertile Crescent in Syria and Jordan were evaluated for agronomic, morphological, and quality traits in a typical barley growing area in Northern ...
