Assessment of on-farm conservation of dryland agrobiodiversity and its impact on rural livelihoods in the Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent encompasses a mega-center of diversity of crops and livestock of global importance. The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) coordinated a 5-year regional project
funded ...
Prediction of Soil Depth from Digital Terrain Data by Integrating Statistical and Visual Approaches
Information about the spatial distribution of soil attributes is indispensable for many land resource management applications; however, the ability of soil maps to supply such information for modern modeling tools is ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
Status of species richness and Scorzonera judaica species at four
Studying species diversity is crucial for monitoring, management and in situ conservation of dryland
agrobiodiversity. The species richness and diversity index, along with the density and frequency of
Scorzonera Judaica ...
Changes in allele frequencies in landraces, old and modern barley cultivars of marker loci close to QTL for grain yield under high and low input conditions
Changes in alleles frequencies of marker loci linked to yield quantitative trait loci (QTL) were studied in 188 barley entries (landraces, old and modern cultivars) grown in six trials representing low and high yielding ...
Barley adaptation and improvement in the Mediterranean basin
To study barley adaptation and improvement in the Mediterranean basin, a collection of 188 entries comprising landraces and old genotypes and current modern varieties from the Mediterranean basin and elsewhere was tested ...
Assessing the Impacts of the GAFTA Agreement on Selected Members’ bilateral Agricultural Trade: an Application of the Gravity Model
Trade flows of agricultural commodities have always received a lot of attention in the Arab region,
mainly due to their implications on food security, politics and competition. Most international trade theories
postulate ...
Identification and validation of a core set of informative genic SSR and SNP markers for assaying functional diversity in barley
A 'core set' of 28 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 28 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for barley was developed after screening six diverse genotypes (DGs) representing six countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, ...
Symbiotic characteristics of Rhizobium meliloti in west asian soils
Experiments conducted with 247 isolates of Rhizobium meliloti from soil samples collected from diverse arable areas in west Asia (Cyprus. Jordan. Lebanon, Syria and Turkey) were assessed to define their symbiotic characteristics ...
Prevalence of, and risk factors for, brucellosis in Awassi sheep in Southern Jordan
A cross-sectional study was carried out during the period between July 2003 and June 2005 to investigate the epidemiology of ovine brucellosis in Southern Jordan. Serum samples from 1380 sheep corresponding to 66 flocks ...
