Assessment of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) grain yield, aerial biomass and flowering date stability in Mediterranean environments
Mediterranean environments are of most interest to study pea adaptability to terminal drought conditions especially in the current context of global climate change. In our work we have tested nine pea cultivars in five ...
Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Comprehensive Gene Expression Analysis Of The Nac Gene Family Under Normal Growth Conditions, Hormone Treatment, And Drought Stress Conditions In Rice Using Near-Isogenic Lines (Nils) Generated From Crossing Aday Selection (Drought Tolerant) And Ir64
The NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2 and CUC2) genes are plant-specific transcriptional factors known to play diverse roles in various plant developmental processes. We describe the rice (Oryza sativa) OsNAC genes expression profiles ...
Discovery of genomic regions and candidate genes controlling shelling percentage using QTL ‐seq approach in cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.)
Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important grain legume providing high‐quality cooking oil, rich proteins and other nutrients. Shelling percentage (SP) is the 2nd most important agronomic trait after pod yield ...
A Genome-wide Combinatorial Strategy Dissects Complex Genetic Architecture of Seed Coat Color in Chickpea
The study identified 9045 high-quality SNPs employing both genome-wide GBS- and
candidate gene-based SNP genotyping assays in 172, including 93 cultivated (desi and
kabuli) and 79 wild chickpea accessions. The GWAS in a ...
Contrasting genetic variation amongst lentil landraces from different geographical origins
Lentil landraces from South Asia exhibit a low diversity and discordance with landraces from other countries according to a combination of qualitative and quantitative agromorphological characters. They exhibit specific ...
Challenges in the Dryland Agricultural Production Systems of South Asia: Research Priorities and Strategies
Dryland (arid and semi-arid) ecosystems occupy more than 41% of global land area and are home to 2.5 billion people. More than 50% of South Asia’s dryland ecosystems are located in India. Drylands contribute about 40% of ...
Assessment of on-farm conservation of dryland agrobiodiversity and its impact on rural livelihoods in the Fertile Crescent
The Fertile Crescent encompasses a mega-center of diversity of crops and livestock of global importance. The
International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA) coordinated a 5-year regional project
funded ...
Estimation of (co)variance components, genetic parameters, and genetic trends of growth traits in community-based breeding programs of Bonga sheep
Community-based sheep breeding programs (CBBPs) have been adopted strategically to improve Bonga
sheep, the most popular sheep breed in Ethiopia. The present study was undertaken to estimate genetic
parameters and genetic ...
Genetic structure, diversity, and allelic richness in composite collection and reference set in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Background: Plant genetic resources (PGR) are the basic raw materials for future genetic progress and an insurance against unforeseen threats to agricultural production. An extensive characterization of PGR provides an ...
