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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Measurement of the total factor productivity and its determinants: the case of the wheat sector in Tunisia
The main objectives of the current study are to quantify the Total Factor Productivity (TFP) growth of durum wheat sector in Tunisia and to identify its main determinants. The Malmquist index approach was applied for the ...
Fast-forward genetics by radiation hybrids to saturate the locus regulating nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in Triticum
The nuclear-encoded species cytoplasm specific (scs) genes control nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in wheat (genus Triticum). Alloplasmic cells, which have nucleus and cytoplasm derived from different species, produce ...
Control of Helminthosporium leaf blight of spring wheat using seed treatments and single foliar spray in Indo-Gangetic Plains of Nepal
Four fungicides for seed treatments and one as foliar spray were tested in replicated field experiments in
a strip plot design to determine the effect of fungicides on Helminthosporium leaf blight (caused by
Cochliobolus ...
Wheat Landraces Currently Grown in Turkey: Distribution, Diversity, and Use
From 2009 to 2014 a nationwide effort was made to document, collect, conserve, and characterize wheat landraces grown by Turkish farmers. Spike samples were collected from more than 1600 farmers from 59 provinces, planted ...
Genetic diversity reduction in improved durum wheat cultivars of Morocco as revealed by microsatellite markers
It has been argued that genetic diversity in crop varieties has been on the decline in recent times due to plant breeding. This can have serious consequences for both the genetic vulnerability of crops and their plasticity ...
Compensation studies on the tomato landrace ‘Tomataki Santorinis’
The attributes of yield and yield stability of two coexisting lines within the old landrace of small-sizedtomatoes ‘Tomataki Santorinis’, i.e., ‘Genuine Santorinis’ (‘G’-line) and ‘Traditional Santorinis’ (‘T’-line)were ...
