Recent status of Moroccan faba bean landraces: collection, characterization and utilization
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important food and feed legume crop in Morocco with a multitude of uses. Morocco is known to be an important center for diversity for faba bean. However, the erosion of faba bean genetic ...
Morphological characterization of cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) accessions from the collection held at Agadir, Morocco
The North Africa region falls under arid and semi-arid climate and it is considered as a hot spot for climate change. To face feed shortage, increase income of the rural poor and to mitigate the effect of climate change, ...
Morphological characterization and pathogenicity of nine Fusarium spp. isolates collected from barley seeds (Hordeum vulgare L.) in Morocco
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is the most produced and consumed grain in the world, and is an important source of food, forage and livestock feed in many developing countries including Morocco. Fusarium head blight (FHB) is ...
Phenotypic and genotypic diversity for tolerance to environmental stresses in rhizobia nodulating lentil and chickpea in Morocco
Growth and productivity of lentil and chickpea in most of the growing areas is usually affected by different environmental stresses such as drought, extreme temperatures, soil pH, salinity and heavy metals in soils. These ...
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
Virulence and molecular diversity within Ascochyta rabiei in Moroccan population and evaluation of genotypic stability on chickpea
Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei Lab.) is an economically important fungal disease on chickpea in Morocco, and in other parts of the world. Significant progress has been made in breeding chickpea for Ascochyta blight ...
Integration of molecular markers and doubled haploids for wheat breeding in the North Africa Region
Wheat is the major staple food crops of Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia and grown
mainly under rainfed conditions. Biotic stresses such as yellow rust, leaf rust and the Hessian
fly and abiotic stresses mainly drought constrains ...
The Lentil Genome – from the sequencer to the field
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris; genome size 4.3 Gb) plays a significant role in supporting
sustainable agriculture worldwide. Its nutrition value has also been recognized as part of the solution to
combat global ...
