Safe movement of food and forage crops germplasm: ICARDA’s experience in the Arab region
Germplasm exchange for research and breeding purposes is essential for crop improvement in the face of climate change and population growth. To contribute towards achieving sustainable development goals, the germplasm ...
Hypericin from Hypericum triquetrifolium in wild and under cultivation: variation revealed by genetic distance
Hypericin content and genetic diversity were studied in 27 wild populations of Hypericum triquetnfolium in Jordan. The wild populations were explored from arid to semi-humid areas (176 to 582 mm), growing in varied altitude ...
Effect of agriculture practices and stocking rates on performances of Barbarine ewes grazing on wheat stubble in Tunisian semi-arid conditions.

Characterization and distribution of Pseudomonas syringae pv. syrinae on wheat in Syria
Bacterial leaf blight, caused by Pseudomonas syringae, threaten wheat production in many regions. Approximately 500 wheat leaf samples showing symptoms suggestive of bacterial infections were collected from 107 fields in ...
Effect of simulated irrigation in wheat cultivation in Jordan
To enhance net income from limited water resources, Fujimaki et al. (2014) presented a scheme for determining irrigation depth using a numerical model of crop response to irrigation and quantitative weather forecast. To ...
Importance of agrobiodiversity and options for promoting its onfarm conservation and sustainable use: Case of West Asia dryland agrobiodiversity project
West Asia encompasses the mega-center of diversity of species of global importance (wheat, barley, lentil, and many forage legume and fruit tree species) whose conservation will contribute to sustaining agriculture and ...
