Innovative Agriculture for Food Security Be smart, Be Systematic
If agricultural research and innovation are to deliver acceptable levels of food and nutrition security to poor communities at a global scale, a rethink is needed of how current approaches to research-for-development are ...
Efficient Callus Induction and Plantlets Regeneration in Durum Wheat Using Mature Embryos
The use of mature embryos as explants to initiate cultures is a best alternative to save time and costs, especially for producing somatic embryos for genetic transformation of durum wheat. However, plantlets regeneration ...
Seed Info No. 44
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Assessment and Improvement of Wheat and Maize Water Productiveness in Lower Karkheh River Basin
This report on ‘Assessment and Improvement of Wheat and Maize Water Productivity in Lower Karkheh River Basin’ helps researchers and scientists interested in sustainable water development to improve the Water Productivity ...
Allelic variation at Glu-1 loci and its association with grain quality of wheat grown in an irrigated hot environment
The high molecular weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GS) are important determinants of wheat flour quality. The HMW-GS patterns of the major released wheat cultivars in Sudan, in addition to some advanced lines, were analyzed ...
AGRONOMIC AND QUALITY QTL MAPPING IN SPRING WHEAT
Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) flour represents one of the primary sources of calories and proteins for the human diet.
The increase in the wheat yield without losing its baking and milling quality is an important breeding ...
First Report of Resistance of Wheat Line Avocet 'S' to Stripe Rust Caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst) in Syria
Seedling assays and field-based assessments are common approaches used in monitoring pathogenic variability of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst). Due to the many candidate genes for resistance, and the occasional ...
Farmer'S Seed Sources And Seed Quality: 2. Seed Health
The study assessed the health quality of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seed samples collected from formal and informal sector in Ethiopia and Syria. In Ethiopia, several seed-borne fungi were ...
A radiation hybrid map of chromosome 1D reveals synteny conservation at a wheat speciation locus
The species cytoplasm specific (scs) genes affect nuclear-cytoplasmic interactions in interspecific hybrids. A radiation hybrid (RH) mapping population of 188 individuals was employed to refine the location of the scsae ...
Methods and Applications of Doubled Haploid Technology in Wheat Breeding - A Technical Manual
The purpose of this manual is to be a useful guide for wheat breeders, geneticists, biotechnologists, students, and technicians. It will also serve as a reference for the wheat breeding programs of ICARDA’s National ...
