Durum wheat (Triticum durum) is one of the most important cereal crops in the Mediterranean region; however, its cultivation suffers from low yield due to environmental constrains. The main objectives of this study were to (i) assess genotype ×...
2016 was the hottest year on record – the third consecutive record-breaking year. It was a sign that we have to act fast to enhance the resilience of dryland farmers, who not only have to contend with more extreme temperatures but also face rapidly...
The pod borer [Helicoverpa armigera Hubner
(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)] is responsible for causing up to 90%
damage in chickpea due to its regular occurrence from the vegetative
growth to the pod formation stage. In order to manage this
problem, growers...
Atriplex nummularia is a key feed resource in times when other feed is not available. This plant is grown in arid areas all over the world and is often promoted to improve forage availability. As a result, this plant is easily accessible in many...
Drought can result in severely decreased leaf area development, which impacts plant growth and
yield. However, rarely is leaf emergence or leaf expansion separated to resolve the relative sensitivity
to water-deficit of these two processes...
Surveying Fusarium resistance in wheat with easy applicable molecular markers such as simple
sequence repeats (SSRs) is a prerequest for molecular breeding. Expressed sequence tags (ESTs) are
one of the main sources for development of new SSR...
