Lentils (Lens Culinaris L.): Linking whole foods for better human health
The failure to link current agricultural production with human nutritional needs has
led to the development of unhealthy food systems, which cause both malnutrition and
chronic diseases. Malnutrition is responsible for ...
Global crop improvement networks to bridge technology gaps
To ensure future food security, there is an urgent need for
improved co-ordination of agricultural research. While
advances in biotechnology hold considerable promise,
significant technology gaps exist that may reduce ...
Association Mapping of Resistance to Yellow Rust in Winter Wheat Cultivars and Elite Genotypes
Yellow (stripe) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis
f.sp. tritici (Pst), is a destructive disease of
wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) all over the world,
particularly in the Central and West Asia and
North Africa (CWANA) ...
Breeding faba bean for resistance to Orobanche spp: past research and future orientation
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the important pulse crops grown in
many parts of the world. Its production and productivity are affected by different
biotic and abiotic stresses. Broomrape (Orobanche and Phelipanche ...
Faba Bean
Faba bean was first domesticated in the Near East about 10,000 BC. It is now grown
worldwide on 2.56 million ha with a yield of 4.56 million tons. The traditional landraces are
affected by the different biotic and abiotic ...
Genetic diversity of microsatellite alleles located at quantitative resistance loci for Ascochyta blight resistance in a global collection of chickpea germplasm
A global collection of 43 chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes, resistant and susceptible to Ascochyta
blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei was evaluated for the disease under controlled conditions. In this study three
known ...
Effect of integrated management on Fusarium wilt progression and grain yield of chickpea in Syria
Fusarium wilt, caused by Fusarium oxysporum Schlechtend.: f. sp. ciceris (Padwick)
Matuo & K. Sato, is a major production problem in many countries. A study was
conducted to develop an integrated management of Fusarium ...
Pathogenic and genetic diversity of Didymella rabiei affecting chickpea in Syria
Simple sequence repeats and mating type markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of 133
Didymella rabiei isolates collected from nine provinces of Syria. Moreover, phenotyping was done on 56
isolates randomly ...
Breeding progress for yield in winter wheat genotypes targeted to irrigated environments of the CWANA region
The international winter wheat improvement program (IWWIP), an alliance between Turkey–CIMMYT–ICARDA, has distributed improved germplasm to different National Agricultural Research Systems (NARS) partners through international ...
Capturing the Heterogeneity of the Error Variances of a Group of Genotypes in Crop Cultivar Trials
Appropriate experimental designs provide an efficient estimate of cultivar performance by allowing better control of experimental error. The standard approach assumes homogeneity of experimental error variances across ...
