Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) are among the major cool-season food legumes grown in Ethiopia. Fungal and viral diseases are important factors limiting production of these two crops in the Country. As there is...

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...

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...

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...

Growth and water use were measured in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in northern Syria in a typical Mediterranean climate over five seasons 1991/92-1995/96. Water use was partitioned into transpiration (T) and soil evaporation (E-s) using...

Read in this issue: a) Poverty—it is also rural, and it is connected with agriculture. And it is perhaps the biggest single threat to the environment in dry areas. b) Central Asian agriculture is changing. ICARDA is now the focal point for...

Italy has a long historical connection with ICARDA and has been instrumental in much of the Center's genetic-resources activities. The Italian Government supported the establishment of a modem gene bank which has facilities for medium- and long...

Although ICARDA has had linkages with the Central Asian republics for a long time, through exchange of gennplasm and scientific visits, the Center's first scientific mission to the region visited Kazakstan in 1987, and laid. the foundation for...
