Antixenosis Resistance to Oulema melanopus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae) in Central Asian Wheat Germplasm
The cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), which is Eurasian in origin, is an emerging pest of agriculturally important cereal crops in western Canada, including wheat, oat, and barley. Among ...
Predicting resistance to stripe (yellow) rust (Puccinia striiformis) in wheat genetic resources using focused identification of germplasm strategy
Stripe rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a major wheat disease that can inflict yield losses of up to 70% on susceptible varieties under favourable environmental conditions. The timely identification ...
Assessment of on-farm diversity of wheat varieties and landraces: Evidence from farmer’s fields in Ethiopia
Analysis of spatial diversity, temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage (COP) were carried out along with measurements of agronomic and morphological traits to explain on-farm diversity of modern varieties or landraces ...
Conservation characteristics and protein fractions of cereal silages ensiled with additives at the booting and dough stages of maturity
The experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of organic acid and bacterial inoculant on conservation characteristics and protein fractions as defined by the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System of barley, ...
Improving water productivity in the Australian Grains industry—a nationally coordinated approach
Improving the water-limited yield of dryland crops and farming systems has been an underpinning objective
of research within the Australian grains industry since the concept was defined in the 1970s. Recent slowing in ...
Cloning, Expression, Sequence Analysis and Homology Modeling of the Prolyl Endoprotease from Eurygaster integriceps Puton
Eurygaster integriceps Puton, commonly known as sunn pest, is a major pest of wheat in Northern Africa,
the Middle East and Eastern Europe. This insect injects a prolyl endoprotease into the wheat, destroying
the gluten. ...
Protein Fractions and Crude Protein Yield of Cereal Forages Harvested at Booting and Dough Stage of Maturity
In this study, crude protein and digestible crude protein production (kg/da) of barley, wheat, rye, triticale and oat were measured at booting and dough stages of maturity and their protein fractions were determined according ...
How Does A Stone Mulch Increase Transpiration And Grain Yield In Wheat Under Soil Water Deficit Stress?
Stone mulch offers potential benefits for water conservation in many rain-fed agricultural systems of the arid regions. The effects of stone mulch on transpiration and grain yield were examined for a durum wheat crop grown ...
Wheat and barley seed system in Syria: How diverse are wheat and barley varieties and landraces from farmer’s fields?
The present study described the diversity of wheat and barley varieties and
landraces available in farmer’s fields in Syria using different indicators. Analysis
of spatial and temporal diversity and coefficient of parentage ...
Plant growth promoting rhizobia: challenges and opportunities
Modern agriculture faces challenges, such as loss of soil fertility, fluctuating climatic factors and increasing pathogen and pest attacks. Sustainability and environmental safety of agricultural production relies on ...
