Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Pathotype IV, a New and Highly Virulent Pathotype of Didymella rabiei, Causing Ascochyta Blight in Chickpea in Syria
The causal agent of Ascochyta blight disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is highly variable because of the presence of a sexual phase (Didymella rabiei). There is also selection pressure on the pathogen due to wide ...
Assessment of genetic diversity for some Iraqi date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) markers
Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) were used to evaluate the genetic diversity between 18 date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) varieties (11 females and 7 males) collected from the center of Iraq. Six primer pairs ...
Laboratory Manual for Regional Training Courses on "Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms and Biosafety for Food and Agriculture". الـدلیـــــــل النظري والعملي للدورة التدریبیة الإقلیمیة حول الكشف عن المواد المعدلة وراثیاً والأمان الحیوي في الأغذیة والزراعة
This manual can serve as the theoretical and practical guide on GMO detection for the Arab countries. The manual could be a reference in GMO detection to strengthening the regional capacities in GMOs detection and will ...
Genetic Diversity of Iraqi Date Palms Revealed By Microsatellite Polymorphism
Genetic diversity in 30 date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars in Iraq representing 24 female and six
male cultivars was investigated using 22 microsatellite [simple sequence repeat (SSR)] primers. The tested SSR
markers ...
New microsatellite markers for assessment of genetic diversity in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
New primer pairs of genomic DNA microsatellite
markers were tested to assess the genetic diversity of
eleven date palm genotypes. The results indicated that out
of thirty, only seven primers (23.3%) failed to amplify ...
QTLs for chlorophyll and chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in barley under post-flowering drought
Drought is one of the major factors limiting barley yields in many developing countries worldwide. The identification of molecular markers linked to genes controlling drought tolerance in barley is one way to improve ...
Strategies to reduce the emerging wheat stripe rust disease
Synthesis of a dialog between policy makers and scientists from 31 countries at: International Wheat Stripe Rust Symposium, Aleppo, Syria, April 2011
This report provides a synthesis of concepts, practices and interventions ...
