In most desert ecosystems of the Arabian Peninsula Region (APRP), vegetable production is carried out under controlled environment structures covered with polycarbonate sheets and inbuilt evaporative cooling systems. The areas with mild winter...
Abiotic stress, notably drought, impacts wheat production globally, but more so in central and South Asia, North Africa (CWANA), and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The current study attempts to identify significant markers linked to drought and heat...
Leaf rust (LR) caused by Puccinia hordei is a serious disease of barley worldwide, causing significant yield losses and reduced grain quality. Discovery and incorporation of new sources of resistance from gene bank accessions into barley breeding...
In Eastern India, a widespread practice known as “rice fallow pulse” (RFP) involves using the soil’s remaining moisture to grow a short-duration pulse crop. For rainfed systems, it is an excellent practice of climate adaptation. To help farmers make...
Anthropological and biophysical processes have shaped livestock genomes over Millenia and can explain their current geographic distribution and genetic divergence. We analyzed 57 Ethiopian indigenous domestic goat genomes alongside 67 equivalents of...
Rearing camels in intensive production systems started in the last 20 years. This led to a considerable change in camel feeding and nutrition including the use of new feeds (i.e. gains, agricultural by-products, supplements). Therefore, research was...
