New Drought-Tolerant Crops for Resilient Dryland Livelihoods
An international collaboration of world-leading scientists led by ICARDA Morocco has delivered six ground-breaking new durum wheat and barley varieties tolerant to increasingly severe droughts ravaging the region.
ICARDA-European Commission partnership (1990-2011)
This brief highlights cooperation between the European Commission and ICARDA for programs over the past two decades to improve food security and the livelihoods of rural populations in the world’s dry areas.
Water Benchmarks of CWANA project: Monitoring and Evaluation Plan
The comprehensive project consists of three main projects: the Badia Benchmark Project in Jordan, which includes two satellite projects in Saudi Arabia and Libya, the Rainfed Benchmark Project in Morocco, which includes ...
Rainfed Benchmark Site Selection and Characterization
The project aims (1) to promote the adoption of technologies to increase water productivity and thus guarantee sustainable agricultural production; and (2) to transfer those technologies to other supplementary irrigated ...
Scaling-up Strategy and Action Plan
The aim of research is to contribute to development a nd improvement, as much as possible, of livelihoods. Unfortunately, generally, many research results do not find their way to development projects and stay i n the ...
Wheat Breeding at ICARDA: Updates on Strategies and Achievements
Polyploids (like wheat and cotton) have genomes that are similar but different enough that they
behave genetically like a diploid. They are designated as allopolyploid or disomic polyploids. Polyploids (like alfalfa and ...
Development of specific primers for the detection of HVA1 from barley in transgenic durum wheat by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technology
Genetic transformation is a widely employed tool in both basic research and commercial plant breeding
programs. Its application requires that transgenes be stably integrated and expressed in the plant
genome. When transgenic ...
