Chickpea Ascochyta Blight: Disease Status and Pathogen Mating Type Distribution in Syria
Chickpea fields were surveyed in nine major chickpeagrowing
provinces of Syria in 2008 and 2009 to determine
the prevalence and severity of Ascochyta blight,
and the distribution of Didymella rabiei mating types
(MATs) in ...
Biotechnology and gene mapping in lentil
Genomic tools and genetic mapping are assisting the understanding of the lentil genome and have made possible the use of marker assisted selection for breeding purposes. Although some important traits are conferred by ...
Expression Of The Dreb1A Gene In Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medik. Subsp Culinaris) Transformed With The Agrobacterium System
Until now three publications have reported the development of transgenic lentil plants through protocol optimisation using the gusA gene, but there are no reports of the introduction of a gene with agronomic importance. ...
Genome Wide Association Analyses For Drought Tolerance Related Traits In Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.)
Genome wide association (GWA) analysis of yield, yield components, developmental, physiological and anatomical traits was conducted for a barley germplasm collection consisting 01 185 cultivated (Hordeum vulgare L) and 38 ...
Pathotype IV, a New and Highly Virulent Pathotype of Didymella rabiei, Causing Ascochyta Blight in Chickpea in Syria
The causal agent of Ascochyta blight disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is highly variable because of the presence of a sexual phase (Didymella rabiei). There is also selection pressure on the pathogen due to wide ...
Assessing genetic diversity of Hamdani sheep breed in Kurdistan region of Iraq using microsatellite markers
The genetic variation in Hamdani sheep in the Kurdistan region of Iraq was studied using 35 microsatellite markers. All 35 markers were found to be highly polymorphic. The mean number of observed alleles ranged from four ...
Comparative virulence of Pyrenophora teres f. teres from Syria and Tunisia and screening for resistance sources in barley: implications for breeding
Aims: The aim of this study is to investigate the pathogenic diversity and virulence groups among Pyrenophora teres f. teres isolates, sampled from Syria and Tunisia, and to identify the most effective source of resistance ...
Assessment of genetic diversity for some Iraqi date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) markers
Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) were used to evaluate the genetic diversity between 18 date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) varieties (11 females and 7 males) collected from the center of Iraq. Six primer pairs ...
Laboratory Manual for Regional Training Courses on "Detection of Genetically Modified Organisms and Biosafety for Food and Agriculture". الـدلیـــــــل النظري والعملي للدورة التدریبیة الإقلیمیة حول الكشف عن المواد المعدلة وراثیاً والأمان الحیوي في الأغذیة والزراعة
This manual can serve as the theoretical and practical guide on GMO detection for the Arab countries. The manual could be a reference in GMO detection to strengthening the regional capacities in GMOs detection and will ...
Genetic Diversity of Iraqi Date Palms Revealed By Microsatellite Polymorphism
Genetic diversity in 30 date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) cultivars in Iraq representing 24 female and six
male cultivars was investigated using 22 microsatellite [simple sequence repeat (SSR)] primers. The tested SSR
markers ...
