Whole-Genome Resequencing of Red Junglefowl and Indigenous Village Chicken Reveal New Insights on the Genome Dynamics of the Species
The red junglefowl Gallus gallus is the main progenitor of domestic chicken, the
commonest livestock species, outnumbering humans by an approximate ratio of six
to one. The genetic control for production traits have been ...
Community typology framed by normative climate for agricultural innovation, empowerment, and poverty reduction
This paper employs the concepts of gender norms and agency to advance understanding of
inclusive agricultural innovation processes and their contributions to empowerment and poverty
reduction at the village level. We present ...
Estimating the Potential Area Adoption of GLDC Crop Cultivars Released in 2018
The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) has set aspirational targets to contribute to System-Level Outcomes (SLOs) on reducing poverty, improving food and nutritional security for health ...
Yield of chromosomally engineered durum wheat-Thinopyrum ponticum recombinant lines in a range of contrasting rain-fed environments
Introgressions of Thinopyrum ponticum 7AgL chromosome segments, spanning 23%, 28% and 40% of the distal end of durum wheat 7AL arm, were previously shown to contain multiple beneficial gene(s)/QTL for yield-related traits, ...
Harnessing food legumes for climate-smart agriculture
Food legumes are particularly suited to sustainable agriculture. ICARDA is developing and disseminating improved varieties and production technologies so farmers can benefit from the increasing demand for these climate-smart ...
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 ...
Characterization of grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) germplasm collections for beneficial agronomic traits
At ICARDA, germplasm collections obtained from five countries namely, Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Syria, Nepal and Pakistan were grouped in to seven sets of trials (BANG1, BANG2, ICARDA, ETH1, ETH2, NEP, PAK) and evaluated in ...
Supplemental Irrigation: A promising Climate-Smart Practice for Dryland Agriculture
Supplemental irrigation - the addition of
limited amounts of water to essentially
rainfed crops to improve and stabilize
yields when rainfall fails to provide
sufficient moisture for normal plant
growth - is an effective ...
ICARDA Annual Report 2017: Pathways to impact for building thriving and resilient communities in dry areas
Widespread heat waves, floods, and droughts last year were a strong reminder of the threats posed by climate change. In the non-tropical dry areas where ICARDA works we are becoming accustomed to record high temperatures ...
