Pathotype Diversification In The Invasive Psts2 Clonal Lineage Of Puccinia Striiformis F. Sp. Tritici Causing Yellow Rust On Durum And Bread Wheat In Lebanon And Syria In 2010-2011
Yellow rust is the major wheat disease in central West Asia and North Africa. Recently, severe epidemics have occurred, with major yield losses in 2010–2011 in Lebanon and Syria. We conducted an extensive field survey, with a collection of 273...

Predictive Characterization for Seed Morphometric Traits for Genebank Accessions Using Genomic Selection
Seed traits of bread wheat, including the seed size that is considered to be associated with early vigor of the crop and end-use quality, are valuable to farmers and breeders. In this study, a collection of 789 bread wheat landraces, held in...
Genetic diversity analysis using DArTseq and SNP markers in populations of Aegilops species from Azerbaijan
Despite a large number of Aegilops L. species and their diversity in Azerbaijan, a majority of this genetic material has not been characterized at molecular levels. The current study has implemented DArTseq technology to evaluate genetic...
Screening of Drought Tolerant Bread Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) Genotypes using Yield Based Drought Tolerance Indices
Drought is one of the major abiotic constraints seriously influencing bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotype production in Ethiopia. Genetic resources and selection methodologies are among the prerequisites to improve the efficiency of...
Diversity of genes for resistance to stripe rust in wheat elite lines, commercial varieties and landraces from Lebanon and Syria
Stripe (yellow) rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is a major threat to wheat production in Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA). Effective fungicides are available, but host resistance remains the most...
Simulating Crop Productivity in a Triple Rotation in the Semi‑arid Area of the Aral Sea Basin
Farmers face increased risks and vulnerability to the effects of climate change and land degradation on crop production due to the lack of information and impact assessment. This is especially true in the Khorezm, an irrigated agricultural...
Legume-based rotations have clear economic advantages over cereal monocropping in dry areas
Current land use trends show an increasing preference for monocropping – mostly a consequence of policies and incentives aimed at enhancing the intensification of cereals. This shift has caused some to question whether legume–cereal rotations...
Wheat is the most widely adapted crop, growing in diverse environments ranging from sea level to regions as high as 4570 m.a.s.l. in Tibet (Percival, 1921) and from the Arctic Circle to the equator, but most suitably at the latitude range of 30°...
Characterization of QTLs for Seedling Resistance to Tan Spot and Septoria Nodorum Blotch in the PBW343/Kenya Nyangumi Wheat Recombinant Inbred Lines Population
Tan spot (TS) and Septoria nodorum blotch (SNB) induced by Pyrenophora tritici-repentis and Parastagonospora nodorum, respectively, cause significant yield losses and adversely affect grain quality. The objectives of this study were to decipher...
