Genetic Dissection of Drought Tolerance of Elite Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes Using Genome Wide Association Study in Morocco
Drought is one of the most important yield-limiting factors in Morocco. Identification and deployment of drought-tolerant wheat varieties are important to cope with the challenge of terminal moisture stress and increase ...
Experimental on-farm trials data of faba bean and wheat intercropping field validation in Lebanon and Morocco
This data paper describes the content of four datasets col- lected by the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) as a partner in the project “Designing InnoVative plant teams for Ecosystem ...
Biodiversity of Nematode Communities Associated with Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in Southern Morocco and Their Contribution as Soil Health Bioindicators
Soil nematodes are major soil organisms known to reduce wheat production worldwide. However, they are a crucial part of soil biodiversity. Due to the limited data available regarding nematode biodiversity associated with ...
Assessment of the severity and incidence of Septoria tritici blotch (Zymoseptoria tritici) of wheat in Northwestern Ethiopia
Wheat is a global staple crop, which contributes 20% of the
total dietary proteins and calories. Despite its importance,
wheat production and productivity are affected by various
biotic and abiotic stresses. Septoria ...
What plant breeding may (and may not) look like in 2050?
At the turn of 2000 many authors envisioned future plant breeding. Twenty years
after, which of those authors’ visions became reality or not, and which ones may
become so in the years to come. After two decades of debates, ...
Phytosanitary management of ICARDA’s germplasm seed collections for safe movement and better future use
Germplasm exchange from international genebanks and breeding programs is vital for successful crop improvement programs. More than 10,000 different accessions of wheat, barley, lentil, faba bean, chickpea, grasspea, and ...
Meeting the Challenges Facing Wheat Production: The Strategic Research Agenda of the Global Wheat Initiative
Wheat occupies a special role in global food security since, in addition to providing 20% of
our carbohydrates and protein, almost 25% of the global production is traded internationally. The
importance of wheat for food ...
Single‑ and multi‑trait genomic prediction and genome‑wide association analysis of grain yield and micronutrient‑related traits in ICARDA wheat under drought environment
Globally, over 2 billion people sufer from malnutrition due to inadequate intake of micronutrients. Genomic-assisted breeding is identifed as a valuable method to facilitate developing new improved plant varieties targeting ...
