Assessment of Genetic Polymorphism in Durum and Bread Wheat Accessions of Azerbaijan
The present paper aims at analyzing the genetic diversity among 110 bread and 110 durum wheat accessions and local varieties using inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) markers. Eight ISSR primers generated a total of 107 ...
Assessment of barley genotypes for malting quality: Genotype x environment interactions
Investigating and improving malting quality in barley is long-standing objective worldwide. Genotype by environment interactions (G x E) result inconsistent genotypic performance and obstruct realization of quality traits ...
Impact of improved maize varieties on food security in eastern Zambia: a doubly robust analysis
This study investigates the impact of improved maize varieties on household food security in eastern Zambia using household survey data from a sample of over 800 rural households. Since treatment effect estimates are often ...
What Are The Factors Affecting No-Till Adoption In The Farming System Of Sétif Province In Algeria?
Conservation agriculture is a concept which defines different farming systems. Its implementation depends on soil properties, climate and socio-economic considerations. Since two thousands, no-till technology; which is one ...
Cross the Best with the Best, and Select the Best: HELP in Breeding Selfing Crops
Hybrid-enabled line profiling (HELP) is a new integrated breeding strategy for self-fertilizing crops that combines existing and recently identified elements, resulting in a strategy that synergistically exceeds existing ...
Genome wide association studies (GWAS) of spot blotch resistance at the seedling and the adult plant stages in a collection of spring barley
Spot blotch (SB) in barley is caused by the fungal pathogen Cochliobolus sativus and considered one of the major constraints to successful barley production. Resistance to C. sativus was evaluated, using a barley collection ...
Conservation Agriculture and Climate Resilience
Agricultural productivity growth is vital for economic and food security outcomes which
are threatened by climate change. In response, governments and development agencies are
encouraging the adoption of ‘climate-smart’ ...
Invited review: Genomic selection for small ruminants in developed countries: how applicable for the rest of the world?
Improved management and use of estimated breeding values in breeding programmes, have resulted in rapid genetic progress for
small ruminants (SR) in Europe and other developed countries. The development of single nucleotide ...
Comparing yield and growth characteristics of four pastoral plant species under two salinity soil levels
The vegetation cover and the biomass production of the rangeland ecosystems are decreasing at an alarming rate. The valorization of saline water, by irrigating planted pastoral halophytes on salt‐affected soils, is considered ...
Farmers’ adoption of sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) cultivation as an alternative livestock feed
The objective of this study was to investigate farmers' adoption of sulla (Hedysarum coronarium L.) cultivation in northern Tunisia. Sulla adoption at farmer level and farmers‟ perception about the role of sulla were ...
