Analysis of mRNA Levels of Ten Genes Under Water Stress in Triticum turgidum subsp. durum
Drought is one of the major causes of dramatic yield loss in crop plants. Plants perceive and respond to stress.
Upon perception of stress, a signal is communicated to downstream components resulting in change of gene
expression ...
A new approach to mining agricultural gene banks – to speed the pace of research innovation for food security
‘FIGS’: A more precise approach to mining agricultural gene banks.
This report presents the possibilities of ‘FIGS’, a new technique for searching agricultural genebanks, that helps crop breeders and their managers achieve ...
Antibiosis Resistance To Cereal Leaf Beetle, Oulema Melanopus (L.) (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), In Central Asian Wheat Germplasm
The cereal leaf beetle, Oulema melanopus (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae), is a new invasive pest of cereals in western Canada. Host plant resistance is a potential option in the integrated management of this insect. Wheat ...
WEED SUPPRESSING ABILITY OF DIFFERENT BREAD WHEAT GENOTYPES IN DRYLANDS OF WESTERN IRAN
A genetic option for increasing wheat production is to reduce menace of weeds through developing
or screening weed tolerant wheat genotypes. To screen bread wheat genotypes tolerant to weeds in
dryland conditions, twenty ...
Development of COS-SNP and HRM markers for highthroughput and reliable haplotype-based detection of Lr14a in durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.)
Leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks. & Henn.) is a major disease affecting durum wheat production. The Lr14a-resistant gene present in the durum wheat cv. Creso and its derivative cv. Colosseo is one of the best characterized ...
Artificial microRNA-mediated resistance against the monopartite begomovirus Cotton leaf curl Burewala virus
Background: Cotton leaf curl disease, caused by single-stranded DNA viruses of the genus Begomovirus (family Geminiviridae), is a major constraint to cotton cultivation across Pakistan and north-western India. At this time ...
CAC e- Newsletter January, 2013: Yellow rust-resistant wheat to boost food security in Central Asia
Yellow rust, a disease affecting wheat, remains a serious problem in Central and West Asia. Finding wheat that is both resistant to the pathogen and can bring in good harvests is a daunting task.
Желтая ржавчина, заболевание, ...
A strategic plan to revive wheat in Central and West Asia and North Africa by out-pacing Puccinia striiformis westend (yellow rust)
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 ...
Genetic improvement of bread wheat yield and associated traits in Spain during the 20th century
A collection of 26 wheat genotypes widely grown in Spain during the 20th century was evaluated in eight
contrasting environments in order to quantify breeding achievements in yield and associated traits. From 1930 to
2000, ...
Combined effect of tillage system, supplemental irrigation and genotype on bread wheat yield and water use in the dry Mediterranean region
Approaches that can help reduce future water shortages and increase food production in the
Mediterranean region include the capture of more rainwater and better use of scarce irrigation water.
The objective of this study ...
