Salinity effect on grain quality of two durum wheat varieties differing in salt tolerance
The salt tolerant variety Cham-1, created by ICARDA, showed a higher grain yield than the less salt tolerant landrace Haurani, but the main parameters for the pasta quality declined considerably. Salinity had a slight ...
Emergence rate as a potential indicator of crop salt-tolerance
The current study aims to examine the hypothesis that the determination of the emergence rate is a possible indicator of the plant potential to tolerate soil salinity under field conditions. This hypothesis is analysed ...
Salt tolerance analysis of chickpea, faba bean and durum wheat varieties II. Durum wheat
Seven varieties of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum), provided by ICARDA, were tested in a greenhouse experiment for their salt tolerance. Afterwards two varieties, differing in salt tolerance, were irrigated with waters of ...
Salt tolerance analysis of chickpea, faba bean and durum wheat varieties I. Chickpea and faba bean
Two varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba), differing in drought tolerance according to the classification of the International Center for Agronomic Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), were ...
Urediospores of rust fungi are ice nucleation active at > −10 °C and harbor ice nucleation active bacteria
Various features of the biology of the rust fungi and of the epidemiology of the plant diseases they cause illustrate the important role of rainfall in their life history. Based on this insight we have characterized the ...
Urediospores of rust fungi are ice nucleation active at >−10 C and harbor ice nucleation active bacteria
Various features of the biology of the rust fungi and of the epidemiology of the plant diseases they cause illustrate the important role of rainfall in their life history. Based on this insight we have characterized the ...
Durum Wheat and barley productivity in saline-drought environments
In two successive years, durum wheat (Triticum turgidum Desf.) and barley (Hodeum vulgare L.) were tested in a factorial salinity–drought experiment, combining three levels of salinity and two levels of drought. The two ...
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 ...
Diversity of thermal aptitude of Middle Eastern and Mediterranean Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici isolates from different altitude zones
The worldwide spread of wheat yellow rust lineage PstS1/S2 adapted to higher temperatures prompted us to investigate how diverse temperature responses of this lineage are in the Middle East, where diversity was previously ...
