Resistance in wheat to a new North American–Russian wheat aphid biotype
The Russian wheat aphid (RWA), is a serious threat to wheat production worldwide. The identification of a new RWA biotype in the USA virulent to all commercially grown winter wheats poses new challenges to wheat breeders. ...
Breeding for multiple disease and multiple gene resistance in barley
Combining genes for disease resistance is very difficult, as most breeding programs can only test for the diseases present at their breeding sites. In addition, pyramiding genes or developing multiple gene resistance is ...
Improved Decision Making for Deficit Irrigation of Wheat in Northern Syria
Increasing water scarcity due to population growth and urbanization is pushing the countries in the Mediterranean region to improve their irrigation water use efficiency. Supplemental irrigation of rain-fed crops is a very ...
International germplasm development for multiple disease resistance
The International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), with the
headquarters in Aleppo, Syria, is one of 15 centers strategically located all over the world and
supported by the Consultative Group ...
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 ...
