An intensive survey was conducted during May–June, 2001 to identify virus diseases affecting chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and lentil (Lens culinaris) crops in five provinces (Qazvin, Kermanshah, Kurdistan, East Azarbaijan and West Azarbaijan) of...

A total of 147 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers (including86 barley and 61 wheat microsatellite markers) were tested for their segregation in a doubled haploid (DH) and an F2 population of barley. The DH population consisted of 71 doubled...

Opuntias are multipurpose plants that are increasingly being used in agricultural systems in arid and semi-arid areas and are considered a key component for the productivity and sustainability of these regions. This publication presents current...

Incomplete block (IB) analysis of lentil yield trials in lattice block designs substantially reduced experimental error variability compared to randomized complete block (RCB) analysis. Spatial variability, which may exist in two dimensions in...

ICARDA serves its African stakeholders through two of its seven regional programs. These are the Nile Valley and Red Sea Regional Program (NVRSRP), which covers Egypt, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Sudan; and the North Africa Regional Program (NARP)...

Links between ICARDA and Spain are long established. A glance at any map of the Mediterranean will help explain why both have benefited from this collaboration. Spain is an active member of the European Union but it is also separated...

A survey for Barley yellow dwarf (BYDV) and Cereal yellow dwarf viruses (CYDV) was carried out during April 2001 covering seven major cereal-growing regions (Beja, Bizerte, Cap-Bon, Jendouba, Le Kef, Siliana and Zaghouan) of Tunisia. A total of...

Microsatellites, very short tandemly repeated DNA sequences, are being extensively used in evolutionary genetics and molecular breeding of crop plants, because of their high degree of allelic variability, which is presumably caused by a high...

Japan has made an important contribution to restoring and rehabilitating degraded land in CWANA through its support to ICARDA’s work on the improvement of native pastures and rangelands, and the nutrition and management of small ruminants. Not...
