Diversity analysis of 80,000 wheat accessions reveals consequences and opportunities of selection footprints
Undomesticated wild species, crop wild relatives, and landraces represent sources of variation for wheat improvement to address challenges from climate change and the growing human population. Here, we study 56,342 ...
Yield gain due to fungicide application in varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) resistant and susceptible to leaf rust
In three independent experiments in Turkey and Kazakhstan, winter wheat germplasm with variable degrees of resistance to leaf rust was subjected to fungicide protection. The yield loss of genotypes susceptible to leaf rust ...
Vulnerability of Barley to African Pathotypes of Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici and Sources of Resistance
The emergence of widely virulent pathotypes (e.g., TTKSK in the Ug99 race group) of the stem rust pathogen (Puccinia graminis f.sp. tritici) in Africa threatens wheat production on a global scale. Although intensive research ...
Proline content as a stress indicator to quantify conservation agriculture effect in wheat crop
The field study was conducted to evaluate the effect of tillage, crop residue retention and crop rotationon proline concentration in flag leaves of wheat as an important factor influencing future grain quality and yield ...
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 ...
Improving wheat stripe rust resistance in Central Asia and the Caucasus
Wheat is the most important cereal in Central Asia (Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan) and the Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan and Georgia). Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. ...
Wheat Landacres Production on Farm Level in Turkey: Who is Growing in Where?
Turkey is one of the centers of origin for wheat which grows on 8.5 million ha and annually produces 20-24 million tons. Though modern varieties have been widely grown in most areas, some Wheat Land Races (WLR) are being ...
Changing Food Consumption of Households in Developing Countries: A Bangladesh Case
Increasing incomes, urbanization, and population growth are transforming developing countries. This structural transformation is changing lifestyles and consequently food consumption and agri-food systems. The present study ...
Characterization of seedling infection types and adult plant infection responses of monogenic Sr gene lines to race TTKS of Puccinia graminis f. sp tritici
Stem rust, caused by Puccinia graminis f. sp. tritici, historically was one of the most destructive diseases of wheat and barley. The disease has been under effective control worldwide through the widespread use of host ...
Bringing wild relatives back into the family: recovering genetic diversity in CIMMYT improved wheat germplasm
The dangers of a narrow genetic base of the world's major domesticated food crops have become a great global concern in recent decades. The efforts of the International Maize and Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) to breed ...
