Genotype x Environment Interaction for Durum Wheat Grain Yield and Selection for Drought Tolerance in Irrigated and Droughted Environments in Iran
Durum wheat is grown in the Mediterranean region under stressful and variable environmental conditions. In a 4-year-long experiment, 14 genotypes [including 11 durum breeding lines, two durum (Zardak) and bread (Sardari) ...
The potential of small-scale rainfed agriculture to strengthen food security in Arab countries
In most Arab countries, domestic agricultural production is insufficient. The gap between production and demand is likely to increase due to climate change and other factors. This review paper examines the challenges and ...
International surveillance of wheat rust pathogens: progress and challenges
Surveillance of wheat rust pathogens, including assessments of rust incidence and virulence characterization via either trap plots or race (pathotype) surveys, has provided information fundamental in formulating and adopting ...
Jordan: In search of new benefit - sharing practices through participatory plant breeding
Of Jordan’s 8.93 million hectares, only 7.8% is arable land. However, the agricultural sector plays an important role through its contribution to national income and employment. Agriculture contributes 7.5% to gross national ...
Association of Root Water-uptake Ability with Drought Adaptation in Wheat
In rain-fed agricultural regions, limited rainfall and frequent unpredictable droughts have resulted in low and variable wheat yields. Balanced water use between root water-uptake and remaining soil moisture is a key factor ...
First Report Of Wheat Dwarf Virus And Its Vector (Psammotettix Provincialis) Affecting Wheat And Barley Crops In Syria
A field survey covering the major cereal-production areas of Syria was conducted during May 2009. A total of 938 wheat and 971 barley samples with typical symptoms of viral infection were collected from 45 wheat and 58 ...

Present status of salt-affected and waterlogged soils in Dasht-e-Azadegan and management strategies for their sustainable utilization
Salt-prone land and water resources are major impediments to the optimal utilization of crop production systems in many arid and semi-arid regions of the world, including Iran (Alizadeh et al. 2004; Moghaddam and Koocheki ...
CGIAR Regional Program for Central Asia and the Caucasus Annual Report 2010 – 2011
The Program has achieved considerable progress in major areas of collaborative agricultural research for development, including conservation of genetic resources, germplasm enhancement and crop diversification, and ...
Chlorophyll Fluorescence Parameters and Drought Tolerance in a Mapping Population of Winter Bread Wheat in the Highlands of Irand
The usefulness of fluorescence parameters as drought tolerance selection criteria for winter bread wheat in the highlands of Iran was studied. A population of 142 recombinant inbred lines, derived from a cross between two ...
