Yield and Cost Effects of Plot-Level Wheat Seed Rates and Seed Recycling Practices in the East Gojam Zone, Amhara Region, Ethiopia: Application of the Dose–Response Model
Previous studies investigated the effects of seed rates and seed recycling practices on the yield and yield-related variables. However, higher yield does not always guarantee cost-efficiency. This study aimed to investigate ...
Genome-Wide Association and Prediction of Male and Female Floral Hybrid Potential Traits in Elite Spring Bread Wheat Genotypes
Hybrid wheat breeding is one of the most promising technologies for further sustainable
yield increases. However, the cleistogamous nature of wheat displays a major bottleneck for a successful
hybrid breeding program. Thus, ...
Diversity analysis of 80,000 wheat accessions reveals consequences and opportunities of selection footprints
Undomesticated wild species, crop wild relatives, and landraces represent sources of variation for wheat improvement to address challenges from climate change and the growing human population. Here, we study 56,342 ...
Yield gain due to fungicide application in varieties of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum) resistant and susceptible to leaf rust
In three independent experiments in Turkey and Kazakhstan, winter wheat germplasm with variable degrees of resistance to leaf rust was subjected to fungicide protection. The yield loss of genotypes susceptible to leaf rust ...
The association of biomass allocation with growth and water use efficiency of two Triticum aestivum cultivars
We investigated traits that might improve performance of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) in a dry environment, and examined if the response to drought is different for cultivars with a contrasting biomass allocation pattern, ...
Effect of Tillage System on the Spontaneous Regeneration of Two Annual Medics (Medicago Spp.) After Wheat in North Syria
Four tillage treatments were applied to soil on which wheat was to be sown in 1988/89 after pastures of two annual medics, Medicago rigidula and M. polymorpha, had been established in 1987/88. Germination of the medics was ...
Evaluation of variation in Triticum dicoccum for wheat improvement in stress environments
A collection of accessions of cultivated emmer wheat, Triticum dicoccum, was evaluated for economically important traits at Tel Hadya in northern Syria. Useful variation among and within accessions was detected for agronomic ...
Genetic Dissection of Drought Tolerance of Elite Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes Using Genome Wide Association Study in Morocco
Drought is one of the most important yield-limiting factors in Morocco. Identification and deployment of drought-tolerant wheat varieties are important to cope with the challenge of terminal moisture stress and increase ...
Analysis Of Genotypic Variation For Normalized Difference Vegetation Index And Its Relationship With Grain Yield In Winter Wheat Under Terminal Heat Stress
Normalized difference vegetation index (NDVI), which is a measure of leaf greenness (chlorophyll content), is considered to be correlated with crop productivity. This study was conducted to examine genotypic variations for ...
Selection of new high yield potential bread wheat lines resistant to Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), in Morocco
Wheat (Triticum sp.) is the main staple food of the Moroccan population. However, the
crop is attacked by several pests and diseases. Hessian fly is the most serious pest, causing
an average yield loss of 30% yearly. In ...
