Diagnostic Tools Applied by ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) for Detection of Pests and Diseases Transmitted via Legume and Cereal Seeds
Seeds of cereals (wheat, barley) and legumes (faba bean, lentil, chickpea, grasspea) are important exchange materials for farming, crop production, and research at national, regional, and international levels, but with the ...
The Role of ICARDA’s Germplasm Health Unit (GHU) in Improving Plant Health and Safeguarding the Biodiversity of Legume and Cereal Crops
In order to safeguard countries from quarantine risks (insect pests, pathogens, nematodes, parasitic weeds) associated with the movement of legume (faba bean, lentil, chickpea, grasspea) and cereal (wheat and barley) ...
Phytosanitary Management of ICARDA’s Germplasm Seed Collections for Better Future Use
Recent years have witnessed an increasing global concern about the loss of plant genetic
resources, as a result of conflicts, epidemics, earthquakes, etc., which led to disrupting
access to some germplasm and undermining ...
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 ...
Multi-location testing of a global collection of elite chickpea genotypes to identify stable sources of resistance to Ascochyta blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Lab. is the most devastating disease that limits the productivity and production of chickpea in the world. The lack of high levels ...
Genotype vs Environment: the ICARDA durum wheat breeding program for African dryland cultivation
Durum wheat is a staple and industrial food of many dryland farming systems. ICARDA breeding program has delivered since 1977 germplasm adapted to these farming systems achieving over 150 varieties released in 23 developing ...
Genome Wide Association Mapping of Net Form Net Blotch resistance in Barley reveals multiple disease resistance loci for resistance to biotrophic and necrotrophic pathogens
The net form net blotch (NFNB) caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres (Ptt) is an emerging barley
disease in several countries. It causes severe yield and quality losses due to infection of leaves, kernels,
and stems. Owing ...
Genome-Wide Association Analysis of Grain Size Traits in a Global Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) Collection
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) grain size is a critical factor in determining storage capacity during grain filling. Grain size is a complex quantitative trait easily influenced by environmental factors and directly affects ...
ICARDA High Throughput Phenotyping Approach in the Context of the Modernization of its Breeding Programs
During the past 40 years ICARDA has been developing germplasm for the non-tropical dry areas that
lead to the release of more than 880 varieties of its mandate crops, that generated benefits worth
US$ 850 million every ...
Testing a New Fungicide as Alternative to the Banned Chemicals from Different Countries
Since 2018 the European Union and many other countries decided to ban selling and using many pesticides which contain the two molecules Thiram and Thiamethoxam. This study is objective to test a new formulation of fungicide ...
