Seedling and adult-plant stage resistance of a world collection of barley genotypes to stripe rust
Barley stripe rust caused by Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei (PSH) is one of the major
diseases in barley production regions worldwide. A total of 336 barley genotypes with
diverse genetic backgrounds targeted for ...
Variation in reproductive capacity and virulence on different genotypes and resistance genes of Triticeae, in the cereal cyst nematode species complex
Two sets of experiments in 1998 and 1999 studied the (a)virulence status of 14 populations of Heterodera avenae, and two populations each of H. filipjevi and H. latipons towards the resistance genes and genotypes of ...
Estimation of heritability from varietal trials data
We present the estimation of heritabilities of an observed trait in situations where evaluation of several pure breeding lines is performed in a trial at a single location and in trials from several locations. For the ...
Farming practices and breeding objectives identification of farmer in north shoa and south wello zones of Amhara region
The study aims at assessing the production systems and identifying the traits preferred by farmers in the study areas to establish community-based breeding and sustainable utilization programs. The study was conducted in ...
Soil carbon stocks in conservation agriculture systems of Southern Africa
In view of the importance of soil carbon (C) and the scarce data on how conservation agriculture might influence its accumulation in Southern Africa this study presents data from 125 on-farm validation trials across 23 ...
Energy Consumption in Onion and Potato Production within the Province of El Hajeb (Morocco): Towards Energy Use Efficiency in Commercialized Vegetable Production
Energy use efficiency is a key requirement for sustainability in agricultural production, but often overlooked.
The aim of this study was to quantify the amount and efficiency of energy consumed in the production of ...
Why Self-fertilizing Plants Still Exist in Wild Populations: Diversity Assurance through Stress-Induced Male Sterility May Promote Selective Outcrossing and Recombination
Climate change creates challenges for wild species, but plants have survived and adapted
to similar changes in their evolutionary past. Most plants were originally outcrossing, one theoretical
genetic reason being that ...
The PREDICTS database: a global database of how local terrestrial biodiversity responds to human impacts
Biodiversity continues to decline in the face of increasing anthropogenic pressures such as habitat destruction, exploitation, pollution and introduction of alien species. Existing global databases of species’ threat status ...
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, ...
Genetic improvement of grass pea for low neurotoxin (β-ODAP) content
Grass pea is a promising crop for adaptation under climate change because of its tolerance to drought, water-logging and salinity, and being almost free from insect-pests and diseases. In spite of such virtues, global area ...
