Selection of new high yield potential bread wheat lines resistant to Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), in Morocco
Wheat (Triticum sp.) is the main staple food of the Moroccan population. However, the
crop is attacked by several pests and diseases. Hessian fly is the most serious pest, causing
an average yield loss of 30% yearly. In ...
Sources of resistance in durum wheat and its wild relatives to Russian wheat aphid (Hemiptea: Aphididae)
Russian wheat aphid (RWA), Diuraphis noxia (Kurdjumov), is a serious pest of cereals in
many parts of the world, particularly in dry areas. As limited resistance sources to this pest
were previously identified in durum ...
Gene Flow as a Source of Adaptation of Durum Wheat to Changing Conditions Including Climate Change: Double Gradient Selection Technique
Fluctuating environments are recurring scenarios in dryland agriculture with detri- mental effects to crop production such as durum wheat crop that could lead to losses in yield. The dryland Mediterranean type of environment ...
Evaluating the cost and gain from genetic resistance to Hessian fly (Mayetiola destructor (say)) in durum wheat in Morocco using recombinant inbred lines
Durum wheat (Triticum turgidum L. var. durum) is an important food crop in the
Mediterranean region. Hessian fly is the most important insect pest of wheat in the dry land
areas in Morocco. Breeding wheat for genetic ...
