A gene conferring seedling resistance to Puccinia triticina was mapped to chromosome 2BS in the wheat Morocco. The gene was shown to be distinct and was therefore designated Lr73.
Abstract
The wheat genotype Morocco, widely susceptible to isolates...
The paper describes value chain actors and institutional arrangements along value chains, and identifies major determinants of farmers’ decision making to work with middlemen/traders ‘jabbans’ (or cheese makers), and based on those identify short...
Genetic variation in feed efficiency may have a significant impact on sheep production in integrated crop livestock
farming systems in dry areas, where the shortage and poor quality of feed is widespread. Thus, the present study
was carried out to...
A chickpea simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker reference kit has been developed based on the
genotyping of the global chickpea composite collection (3,000 accessions) with 35 SSR markers.
The kit consists of three pools of chickpea accessions along...
This paper assesses rural households’ decision to use improved maize varieties in Malawi and examines its impact on household welfare using a three-year household panel data. The distributional effect of maize technology adoption is investigated by...
This study aims to develop at different seasons, for local North
African Maure goats, synchronizing protocols simultaneously
to the standard ‘S’ protocol using progestagens in association
with prostaglandins and gonadotropin. In late May, 40 goats...
Pedigree recording and genetic selection in village flocks of smallholder farmers have been deemed infeasible by researchers and development workers. This is mainly due to the difficulty of sire identification under uncontrolled village breeding...
