Lentil is a staple food legume that is traditionally grown in West Asia, East and North Africa, the Indian sub-continent and is a primary component of farming systems of those areas. Lentil plays a significant role in human and animal nutrition and...

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 single genes most are determined...

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 showed a high level of...

ICARDA and its partners have developed a range of improved technologies for smallholder agriculture in dry areas. They offer significant improvements over current farmer practice, require only minimal investment, and deliver tangible economic...

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 in barley that could be...

Tannin free lentils have been developed and are now available for production over a wide area in North America. The trait is controlled by a single recessive gene that eliminates tannin precursors in the seeds thereby making it possible to prevent...
