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 ...
Amélioration de la production des plantes haploïdes et haploïdes doublés utilisant la culture des anthères du blé
The production of haploids and double haploids, are widely used techniques in advanced breeding programs to speed-up the
production of homozygote lines. Anther culture is one of the processes of induction and regeneration ...
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 ...
A comparative analysis of nonhost resistance across the two Triticeae crop species wheat and barley
Background: Nonhost resistance (NHR) protects plants against a vast number of non-adapted pathogens which implicates a potential exploitation as source for novel disease resistance strategies. Aiming at a fundamental ...
Hulless barley as a promising source to improve the nutritional quality of wheat products
In this study, efforts were made to utilize hulless barley (variety BHS352) to enhance the nutritive value of chapatti and biscuit made from wheat flour. Barley flour was added to wheat flour in different ratios (5 to 30%). ...
Decadal analysis of impact of future climate on wheat production in dry Mediterranean environment: A case of Jordan
Different aspects of climate change, such as increased temperature, changed rainfall and higher atmospheric CO2 concentration, all have different effects on crop yields. Process-based crop models are the most widely used ...
Evolving food consumption patterns of rural and urban households in developing countries: A Bangladesh case
Purpose
Population and income are growing rapidly in South Asia, spurring the demand for food in general, and the demand for higher-valued food items in particular. This poses particular food security challenges for densely ...
Farmers' perceptions on improved bread wheat varieties and formal seed supply in Ethiopia
The paper presents smallholder farmers' perceptions on attributes of bread wheat varieties based on primary data collected from 524 households in four major wheat growing areas of Ethiopia. The results indicated high value ...
Income and Consumption Impacts of Improved Faba bean Varieties and Rotation with Wheat: A Moroccan Case
While the benefits of legumes for soil health are well documented, the literature is scanty on their economic benefits. Applying propensity score matching and endogenous switching regression to a nationally representative ...
Construction of new EST-SSRs for Fusarium resistant wheat breeding
Surveying Fusarium resistance in wheat with easy applicable molecular markers such as simple
sequence repeats (SSRs) is a prerequest for molecular breeding. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are
one of the main sources for ...
