Does tillage should be an evaluation factor in the breeding program for major cereal and legume crops ?
Conservation agriculture practices are becoming more important in rainfed drylands due to its potential to minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion and improve soil quality and water availability. Due to minimum disturbance ...
Food Legume Improvement Program 1988
The crop improvement research was done at the principal research station of ICARDA at Tel Hadya, as well as at several subsites in northern Syria (Breda, Jinderess, and Lattakia) and Lebanon (Terbol). Weather condition ...
Cryptic Diversity Hidden within the Leafminer Genus Liriomyza (Diptera: Agromyzidae)
Leafminer insects of the genus Liriomyza are small flies whose larvae feed on the internal tissue of some of the most important crop plants for the human diet. Several of these pest species are highly uniform from the ...
QTL identifcation for Ascochyta blight resistance and its application in chickpea breeding
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Didymella rabiei regularly occurs in epidemic
form causing heavy yield and quality losses, and thus is a major biotic constraint to
chickpea production, particularly in the cool and wet ...
Nutritional alterations and damages to stored chickpea in relation with the pest status of Callosobruchus maculatus (Chrysomelidae)
The identification of substitute products for the replacement of wheat flours for paste and bread is a strategy which may help to overcome the wheat yield problems and to meet the huge consumption rates in Tunisia. In this ...
Seed Info No. 26
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and communication among seed staff in the Central,
West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region. The purpose is to contribute towards the development of stronger national seed ...

Multi environment evaluation of chickpea disease nurseries (wilt, Aschochyta blight and Botrytis grey mold) to identify stable and new sources of resistance
Under the ICRISAT- ICAR collaboration, disease nurseries of wilt (ICWN), AB (IABN) and BGM (IBGMN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated at different locations (hot spots) ...
Genome-wide association analysis of chickpea germplasms differing for salinity tolerance based on DArTseq markers
Soil salinity is significant abiotic stress that severely limits global crop production. Chickpea
(Cicer arietinum L.) is an important grain legume that plays a substantial role in nutritional
food security, especially in ...
Efficiency of marker-assisted selection in detection of ascochyta blight resistance in Tunisian chickpea breeding lines
Ascochyta blight (AB) resistance reactions were studied in 23 chickpea cultivars, mainly advanced
lines and Tunisian varieties from the Tunisian chickpea breeding program, growing both at two locations and
under controlled ...
