Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is an important cool season food legume, rich in protein and essential micronutrients. It plays a critical role in improving land structure and contributing to wild pollinator maintenance. It was domesticated in the...
Potential of volatile organic compounds in the management of insect pests and diseases of food legumes: a comprehensive review
Cool season legumes (Faba bean, chickpea, lentil, pea, and grass pea) are important protein harvests for food and nutrition security in many countries. They play key roles in sustainable cereal production through their ecological benefits...
Mapping of quantitative trait loci for agronomic and morpho-physiological traits under drought environments in springbarley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Barley production is severely affected by drought caused by the unpredictable Medi-terranean weather patterns, which include uneven rainfall and extreme temperatures.This leads to a decrease in crop yield. However, to tackle this issue...
Biochemical characterisation of a cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) diversity panel for post-harvest physiological deterioration; metabolite involvement and environmental influence
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) produces edible roots, a major carbohydrate source feeding more than 800 million people in Africa, Latin America, Oceania and Asia. Post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD) renders harvested cassava roots...
Baku Climate Action Week, occurring from September 30th to October 4th, 2024, in Baku, Azerbaijan, serves as a pivotal moment in the climate agenda as global preparations intensify for COP29 in Baku in November 2024.
Variability in Chromosome 1 of Select Moroccan Pyrenophora teres f. teres Isolates Overcomes a Highly Effective Barley Chromosome 6H Source of Resistance
Barley net form net blotch (NFNB) is a destructive foliar disease caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres. Barley line CIho5791, which harbors the broadly effective chromosome 6H resistance gene Rpt5, displays dominant resistance to P. teres f...
Economic values of some important traits for smallholder dairy production in Central Ethiopia
Economic value (EV), sensitivity of EV and relative economic importance of milk yield (MY), age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI) and herd life (HL) traits were estimated for smallholder dairy cattle production in the central part of...
Estimates of genetic parameters for growth traits in dorper crossbred sheep population
The study was carried out to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for growth traits in Dorper crossbred sheep. The data set consisted of 5717 growth records from 1347 individuals of Dorper 50% crossbred sheep descended from 43 sires and...
Investigation of the Spread of Bacterial Wheat Leaf Blight Caused by Pathotypes of Pseudomonas syringae in Some Wheat Growing Areas in Syria
Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops grown globally, which is affected by several biotic and abiotic stresses, especially in conjunction with the climatic changes that have been evident in the last decade, and among these stresses is...
