QTL identifcation for Ascochyta blight resistance and its application in chickpea breeding
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Didymella rabiei regularly occurs in epidemic
form causing heavy yield and quality losses, and thus is a major biotic constraint to
chickpea production, particularly in the cool and wet ...
Impacts of Public, Private, and R&D Investments on Total Factor Productivity Growth in Tunisian Agriculture
The paper analyzes the patterns of productivity and economic growth in Tunisian agriculture during the period 1981–2007. A regression approach is used to test the hypotheses that government-funded research, development and ...
Challenges to generate adaptable technologies and to build up strategic alliances for small ruminants research in low input systems: case of Tunisia
. In Tunisia and in most countries of the West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region, research in small ruminants is historically well embedded in the national agricultural research system. It faces challenges of generating ...
Association Analysis of Genotypic and Phenotypic Traits Using SSR Marker in Durum Wheat
In durum wheat, marker-trait associations were studied for six agronomic
traits using a set of 25 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers , with a set of 40 wheat
genotypes including drought, semi-tolerant and non-drought ...
The vulnerability of native rangeland plant species to global climate change in the West Asia and North African regions
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of climate change on the geographical
distribution of selected native species from two areas from West Asia and North Africa.
Three species representing two genera were selected for ...
Do faba bean (Vicia faba L.) accessions from environments with contrasting seasonal moisture availabilities differ in stomatal characteristics and related traits?
Drought is a major constraint to faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production, and there are many mechanisms by which leaves can regulate water loss. Our primary objective was to test if the origin of the faba bean accessions, ...
Assessing the risk of flooding in Central Tunisia
Digital elevation models (DEM) can be used to derive a wealth of information about land surface morphology. When analyzed using GIS information about stream channels and watersheds it can determine the flow of water over ...
Income, Education and Age effects on Meat and Fish Demand in Tunisia
Socio-economic and demographic variables can have a deep impact of the demand for food. The objective of this work is to analyze how these variables can affect the demand for meat and fish for Tunisian consumers. This study ...

This report provides background and analysis for a proposed research and capacity building initiative
to support countries in Central and West Asia and North Africa region to better manage and reduce the
threat of wheat ...
