Mapping Social Networks for Performance Evaluation of Irrigation Water Management in Dry Areas
Collaboration between actors is an important determinant of water governance, particularly in developing countries suffering from lack of institutional and organizational performances for water management. The objective ...
Correlation between the Chemical and Genetic Relationships among Thymus saturejoides Genotypes Cultured under in vitro and in vivo Environments
In this study, the in vitro and in vivo essential oil (EO) composition and genetic variability in six micropropagated genotypes of Thymus saturejoides COSS., a Mediterranean medicinal and aromatic plant, were analyzed by ...
Interactions between centralized and decentralized water systems in urban context: A review
This study presents a comprehensive review of the literature on implementation of
various decentralized water systems along with centralized systems. The review
highlights the benefits provided by these systems as well as ...
Nutritive value of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) straw as influenced by variety, season, botanical fractions and urea pretreatment
To evaluate the potential of straw from field pea (Pisum sativum L.) as feed for ruminants in tropical highlands, the effect of variety (n = 6), season (main and short), botanical fraction (leaf and stem) and treatment ...
Wheat Landacres Production on Farm Level in Turkey: Who is Growing in Where?
Turkey is one of the centers of origin for wheat which grows on 8.5 million ha and annually produces 20-24 million tons. Though modern varieties have been widely grown in most areas, some Wheat Land Races (WLR) are being ...
Watershed Management in South Asia: A Synoptic Review
Watershed management (WSM) is the most widely adopted technology in developed as well as developing countries due to its suitability across climatic conditions. Watershed technology is suitable to protect and enhance soil ...
Effect of genotypes and culture media on embryogenic callus induction and plantlet regeneration from mature and immature bread wheat embryos
In this study, the effects of media, varieties and their interaction on callus induction and plant regeneration in bread wheat obtained from immature and mature embryos, used as explants, were studied. Four Moroccan bread ...
Assessing the potential of dual-purpose maize in southern Africa: A multi-level approach
This paper explores the potential and challenges of increasing production of food and feed on existing maize fields in mixed crop-livestock systems in the semi-arid areas of southern Africa. It integrates results from ...
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling Root and Shoot Traits Associated with Drought Tolerance in a Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Recombinant Inbred Line Population
Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting lentil productivity in rainfed production systems. Specific rooting patterns can be associated with drought avoidance mechanisms that can be used in lentil breeding ...
Genetic diversity reduction in improved durum wheat cultivars of Morocco as revealed by microsatellite markers
It has been argued that genetic diversity in crop varieties has been on the decline in recent times due to plant breeding. This can have serious consequences for both the genetic vulnerability of crops and their plasticity ...
