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 ...

Indirect Selection for Grain Yield of Barley in Harsh Mediterranean Environments
Selection for yield of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) in unfavorable Mediterranean environments will be more efficient if plant traits can be identified that are related to yield under stress. The aim of this study was to ...
Iron deficiency in lentil: Yield loss and geographic distribution in a germplasm collection
Iron deficiency symptoms are observed on some genotypes of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) grown in calcareous soil. A germplasm collection of 3512 accessions originating from 18 countries was characterized for iron ...
Yield Gap Analysis: Modelling of Achievable Yields at Farm Level
The world population is expected to reach about 8 billion by 2025 (United Nations, 2006), before it stabilizes at about 10-11 billion towards the end of the 21st century. Most of this increase in population is expected to ...
QTLs for barley yield adaptation to Mediterranean environments in the ‘Nure’ 3 ‘Tremois’ biparental population
Multi-environment trials represent a highly
valuable tool for the identification of the genetic bases of
crop yield potential and stress adaptation. A Diversity
Array Technology"-based barley map has been
developed in the ...
Boron toxicity in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) seedlings in relation to soil temperature
Boron (B) is an essential micronutrient in crop growth but its sufficiency range is narrow. Boron toxicity is a widespread problem in arid and semi-arid areas with cold weather. We investigated the effect of soil temperature ...
