Genome-Wide Association and Prediction of Male and Female Floral Hybrid Potential Traits in Elite Spring Bread Wheat Genotypes
Hybrid wheat breeding is one of the most promising technologies for further sustainable
yield increases. However, the cleistogamous nature of wheat displays a major bottleneck for a successful
hybrid breeding program. Thus, ...
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 ...
Selection of new high yield potential bread wheat lines resistant to Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), in Morocco
Wheat (Triticum sp.) is the main staple food of the Moroccan population. However, the
crop is attacked by several pests and diseases. Hessian fly is the most serious pest, causing
an average yield loss of 30% yearly. In ...
Distribution, population dynamics and damage of Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) in North Tunisia
A three years survey and monitoring studies (2013–2014–2015) were carried out through 4 regions of north Tunisia in order to follow the evolution of the distribution, the frequency of occurrence and damage caused by the ...
Comparison of rank-based stability statistics for grain yield in rainfed durum wheat
Several rank-based stability statistics are in use, but little information is available on their repeatability and accuracy. The main objective was to examine the repeatability, similarity and accuracy of the estimates of ...
Enhancing wheat production and food security in Sudan through scaling up improved technologies using innovation platforms
The innovation platforms (IP) concept was adopted in Sudan as an effective multi-stakeholders approach for sustainable agricultural R4D. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the IP approach in enhancing wheat ...
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 ...
Wheat production and breeding in Sub-Saharan Africa: Challenges and opportunities in the face of climate change
Purpose – This paper aims to review the current status of wheat production, farming systems, production constraints and wheat demand-supply chain analysis; the role of international and national breeding programs and their ...
Wheat drought-tolerance to enhance food security in Tunisia, birthplace of the Arab Spring
The beginning of the‘Arab Spring’in 2011, a regional revolution which started in the Tunisian city of SidiBouzid in late 2010, occurred in part as a result of drought-triggered high wheat prices, which in the past led ...
Comparative performance of remote sensing methods in assessing wheat performance under Mediterranean conditions
Vegetation indices and canopy temperature are the most usual remote-sensing approaches to assess
cereal performance under Mediterranean conditions. However wide differences exist in the costs of the
different equipment ...
