Research on micro-catchment rainwater harvesting techniques by ICARDA and Jordanian
scientists has led to the establishment of semicircular bunds on contour ridges and furrows
(using GPS laser-guided Vallerani machine) and runoff strips in two...
This study aimed to investigate the effect of water deprivation (WD) on reproductive traits of rams. Ten mature
rams were used and allocated to two groups balanced for body weight. Control (C) rams had free access to drinking
water, while water...
Goats and sheep are versatile domesticates that have been integrated into diverse environments and production systems.
Natural and artificial selection have shaped the variation in the two species, but natural selection has played the major role...
The nuclear-encoded species cytoplasm specific (scs) genes control nuclear–cytoplasmic compatibility in wheat (genus Triticum). Alloplasmic cells, which have nucleus and cytoplasm derived from different species, produce vigorous and vital organisms...
The vulnerability of wheat is likely to increase due to an increase of heat stress
according to recent wheat-production simulation models combined with local
climate-change data. This is particularly an issue affecting dryland areas where global...
Biophysical restoration or rehabilitation measures of land have demonstrated to be effective
in many scientific projects and small-scale environmental experiments. However circumstances such
as poverty, weak policies, or inefficient scientific...
The coefficient of variation (CV) of a random variable (or that of the corresponding
population), defined to be the ratio of the standard deviation to the mean of the cor
responding population, has been used in wideranging applications in many...
