Effect of supplemental irrigation on leaf stomatal conductance of field-grown wheat in northern Syria
Stomatal conductance (gs) of field-grown wheat during the transition period from rainy to dry seasons in northern Syria was examined in relation to the vapor pressure deficit of the air (VPDa), solar radiation (RS), and the soil available water...
Identification of viral diseases affecting barley and bread wheat crops in Yemen
A survey to identify virus diseases affecting barley and bread wheat crops at different locations in Yemen was conducted during 15 - 24 September 2004. The survey covered 13 barley and 23 bread wheat fields, which were randomly selected. The...
Resistance gene analogs associated with Fusarium head blight resistance in wheat
Fusarium head blight (FHB) is one of the most destructive diseases in wheat. Identification of resistance gene analogs (RGAs) may provide candidate genes for cloning of FHB resistance genes and molecular markers for marker-assisted improvement...
Wheat water productivity and yield in a cool highland environment: Effect of early sowing with supplemental irrigation
The Central Anatolian Plateau of Turkey is a typical cool highland rainfed wheat area with an annual rainfall of 300–500 mm. Due to suboptimal seasonal rainfall amounts and distribution, wheat yields in the region are low and fluctuate...
The validity of predawn leaf water potential as an irrigation-timing indicator for field-grown wheat in northern Syria
We evaluated the validity of predawn leaf water potential (ψPL) as an irrigation-timing indicator, using five field-grown wheat cultivars in three moisture regimes in northern Syria. The relationships between ψPL and amount of roots, soil water...
Faba bean productivity under rainfed and supplemental irrigation in northern Syria
Faba bean (Vici faba L.) is one of the major winter-sown legume crops grown in the Mediterranean region, and has considerable importance as a low-cost food rich in proteins and carbohydrates. The period during which the crop's evaporative demand...
Salt tolerance analysis of chickpea, faba bean and durum wheat varieties II. Durum wheat
Seven varieties of durum wheat (Triticum turgidum), provided by ICARDA, were tested in a greenhouse experiment for their salt tolerance. Afterwards two varieties, differing in salt tolerance, were irrigated with waters of three different...
Salt tolerance analysis of chickpea, faba bean and durum wheat varieties I. Chickpea and faba bean
Two varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and faba bean (Vicia faba), differing in drought tolerance according to the classification of the International Center for Agronomic Research in Dry Areas (ICARDA), were irrigated with waters of...
