Fast-forward genetics by radiation hybrids to saturate the locus regulating nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in Triticum
The nuclear-encoded species cytoplasm specific (scs) genes control nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in wheat (genus Triticum). Alloplasmic cells, which have nucleus and cytoplasm derived from different species, produce ...
Wheat
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops of global food and nutritional security. The demand for wheat has been increasing substantially with the increasing human population pressure. Wheat genetic resources including ...
Long-run evaluation of fertilization strategies for dryland wheat in Northcentral Oregon: Simulation analysis
Farmers commonly apply fixed ‘blind’ quantities of nitrogen fertilizer during the fallow or at seeding in rainfed winter wheat-fallow systems in Northcentral Oregon, an area characterized by high year-to-year variation in ...
Will selenium increase lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) yield and seed quality?
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik), a nutritious traditional pulse crop, has been experiencing a declining area of production in South East Asia, due to lower yields, and marginal soils. The objective of this study was to ...
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 ...

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, ...
Ties That Bind: USA-ICARDA. The research partnership between ICARDA and the United States of America
Since ICARDA’s inception in 1977, the United States has been the single biggest donor to the center’s research and capacity development programs.
The benefits of this significant investment by US partners are dramatically ...
ICARDA Annual Report 1989
ICARDA's major challenge is to realize sustainable advances in agricultural production in an environment of extremely variable climatic conditions. The past two seasons provided ample illustration of this spatial and ...
ICARDA Annual Report 1988
The 1988 Report strives to attain a balance between the two approaches. It
is divided into two parts. Part One highlights the major developments in the
Center's research conducted during the year with special reference to ...
