Optimizing Winter Wheat Resilience to Climate Change in Rain Fed Crop Systems of Turkey and Iran
Erratic weather patterns associated with increased temperatures and decreasing rainfall pose unique challenges for wheat breeders playing a key part in the fight to ensure global food security. Within rain fed winter wheat ...
Economic and food security benefits associated with raised-bed wheat production in Egypt
Countries in the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region are dependent on imports of wheat to meet their food security
needs. Mechanized raised-bed wheat production is an effective means of increasing productivity and ...
Genetic and transcriptional variations in NRAMP‑2 and OPAQUE1 genes are associated with salt stress response in wheat.
The dissection of the genetic and molecular components of salt stress response offers strong opportunities toward understanding and improving salt tolerance in crops. In this study, GWAS was employed to identify a total ...
Genomic selection for grain yield and quality traits in durum wheat
The prediction accuracies of genomic selection depend on several factors, including the genetic architecture of target traits, the number of traits considered at a given time, and the statistical models. Here, we assessed ...
On farm analysis of the effect of the preceding crop on N uptake and grain yield of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) in Mediterranean conditions.
One of the challenges of eco-efficient agriculture is the development of operational farming practices to increase the level of agricultural production, maximize the efficiency of resource use and reduce environmental ...
Wheat performance with subclover living mulch in different agro-environmental conditions depends on crop management
Intercropping has been proposed as a useful strategy for reducing external inputs in cereal-based cropping systems, while maintaining adequate crop yield. Intercropping of wheat and subclover, implemented as living mulch, ...
Salinity Impacts on Environmental Efficiency of Wheat farms in Central of Iraq
A stochastic frontier approach is used for analyzing of the environmental impacts of soil salinity in Iraq. An econometric method based on the neoclassical production theory (stochastic frontier analysis) is transformed ...
Slow rusting of bread wheat landraces to Puccinia striiformis f.sp. tritici under artificial field inoculation
Yellow rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici is the most devastating fungal disease of wheat, especially in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. Most of the released cultivars in CWANA ...
Development of SNP assays for hessian fly response genes, Hfr-1 and Hfr-2, for marker-assisted selection in wheat breeding
Background
The Hessian fly response genes, Hfr-1 and Hfr-2, have been reported to be significantly induced in a Hessian fly attack. Nothing is known about the allelic variants of these two genes in susceptible (S) and ...
Association of KASP markers with Hessian fly resistance in wheat of diverse origin
Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (Say)) is a major pest in wheat producing areas of United States,
Canada, Europe, and North Africa but has not been found in Australia. Host plant resistance is thought to
involve a similar ...
