Moderate drought stress followed by re-watering enhances wheat starch biosynthesis, improving granule size distribution and physicochemical properties
Wheat growth is often restricted by drought, but crops have a water compensation effect. This study explored the effects of rewatering after different degrees of drought stress in the early stage of grain-filling (1–10 days post anthesis) on...
Context-specific agronomic solutions for achieving agronomic gains with reduced environmental footprints in irrigated drylands of Egypt
yields of 8.4 t ha?1 and net profits of US$1097 ha?1, compared with 6.5 t ha?1 and US$675 ha?1 for medium- yield farmers. In the New Lands, the yield gap was more pronounced, with high-yield farmers achieving average yields of 7.5 t ha?1...
Examining agricultural policy bias through the Kaleidoscope Model: a study of two strategic priorities in Tunisia
This paper investigates Tunisia’s agricultural policy landscape by examining how national policies on wheat and forage contribute to or hinder agroecological transition. It maps policy actors, assesses their alignment with strategic priorities...
Prediction of Australian wheat genotype by environment interactions and mega‑environments
Key message Latent environmental effects of genotype by environment interactions could be predicted from observed environmental covariates. Predictions into the wider target population of environments revealed greater insights. Abstract Wheat is...
Identification of novel marker-trait associations for agronomic traits in bread wheat under WANA environments through GWAS
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is a primary staple crop globally and holds particular significance in the West Asia and North Africa region, where it plays a central role in food security and dietary intake. However, rising temperatures...
ICARDA, under the CGIAR umbrella, will participate in the 30th United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP30) in Belém, Brazil — in the heart of the Amazon — from 10–21 November 2025 to spotlight the vital role of food, land, and water systems...
‘Amina’, ‘Dioufissa’, and ‘Haby’: Heat tolerant durum wheatcultivars adapted to the Senegal River Basin
Senegalese are consumers of pasta, couscous, and other semolina products, whichare obtained from durum wheat [Triticum turgidum L. durum (Desf)] grain imports.The Senegal River farming system offers a short dry winter season (harmattan) thatis...
