Legume Program Annual Report 1991
In a continuing effort to enhance the complementary research and improve the efficiency of the use of available resources, ICARDA decided in September 1990 to consolidate research and training on the improvement of food ...
Genes Expressed Differentially in Hessian Fly Larvae Feeding in Resistant and Susceptible Plants
The Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor, is a destructive pest of wheat worldwide and mainly controlled by deploying resistant cultivars. In this study, we investigated the genes that were expressed differentially between ...
Urediospores of rust fungi are ice nucleation active at >−10 C and harbor ice nucleation active bacteria
Various features of the biology of the rust fungi and of the epidemiology of the plant diseases they cause illustrate the important role of rainfall in their life history. Based on this insight we have characterized the ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
Effects of grazing two green manure crop types in organic farmingsystems: N supply and productivity of following grain crops
Grazing green manures may improve N availability and productivity in integrated crop–livestock systems. We hypothesized that grazing green manures, compared with standard soil incorporation with tillage, would increase ...
Inheritance of Resistance to Fusarium Head Blight in Four Populations of Barley
Fusarium Head Blight (FHB), caused by Fusarium graminearum Schwabe [(teleomorph Giberella Zeae (Schwein.)], has been a major disease problem of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in the U.S. Midwest since 1993. It can make a ...
Hessian Fly (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae) Interactions With Barley, Rice, and Wheat Seedlings
A choice test revealed that Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say) (Diptera: Cecidomyiidae), adults deposited approximate to 3 times more eggs on wheat (Triticum spp.), seedlings than on barley (Hordeum spp.) or rice, ...
Effect of population size on the estimation of QTL: a test using resistance to barley stripe rust
The limited population sizes used in many quantitative trait locus (QTL) detection experiments can lead to underestimation of QTL number, overestimation of QTL effects, and failure to quantify QTL interactions. We used the ...
International Winter Wheat nurseries data: Facultative and Winter Wheat Observation Nurseries and International Winter Wheat yield trials for semi-arid and irrigated conditions
This data paper describes the content of 16 datasets collected under the International Winter Wheat Improvement Program (IWWIP), an alliance between Turkey-CIMMYT-ICARDA (TCI), during the 2015–2016, 2016–2017, 2017–2018 ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1983/84
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
