Radiation-frost injury is an important abiotic constraint to lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) production in West Asia, but no information has been published on the inheritance of radiation-frost injury in lentil. The objectives of the study were to...
This issue of Caravan will provide a glimpse of the holistic approach that ICARDA is employing to
achieve increased efficiency in food production from the dry, marginal areas.
Lentils from south Asia differ markedly in days to flower and several other traits from lentils in other major lentil producing areas of the world such as west Asia. Single-gene inheritance and a polygenic system were observed to control days to...
Cooperation, sharing expertise and technology, partnerships, and access to information formed the foundation of ICARDA's achievements during a year marked by strategic realignments and a forward-looking vision, bringing a new sense of optimism to its...
Hessian fly, Mayetiola destructor (Say), is the major insect pest of wheat in Morocco. Host plant resistance has been the most effective and practical method of controlling this pest. When 347 accessions of Aegilops species were screened in the...
A genetic linkage map of Lens sp. was constructed with 177 markers (89 RAPD, 79 AFLP, six RFLP and three morphological markers) using 86 recombinant inbred lines (F-6:8) Obtained from a partially interspecific cross. The map covered 1073 cM of the...
