Morphological and molecular insights of root dynamics in rice-fallow lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Lentil is a promising crop for diversifying the vast, untapped rice-fallows of South Asia. However, augmenting lentil productivity in this niche remains a key challenge due to poor soil biophysical properties. Research gap on root trait...
Phenolic Content, Antioxidant Capacity and In Vitro Glycemic Index of Traditional Noodle (EriSte) High in Plant-Based Protein and <i>β</i>-Glucan Content
Traditional noodle samples (erişte) were supplemented with hull-less barley and lentil flours as the source of β-glucan and protein at different ratios and their cooking quality, phenolic content, antioxidant capacity and estimated GI values...
Exploring genetic variation and stripe rust resistance in ICARDA's spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) using GWAS in West Asia and North Africa (WANA) region
A novel framework for flood susceptibility assessment using hybrid analytic hierarchy process-based machine learning methods
This study evaluates the effectiveness of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) based on six machine learning models in predicting flood susceptibility in the Dwarakeswar river basin in Eastern India. Fifteen flood conditioning factors were...
Effects of Salinity Stress on Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) and Its Wild Relatives: Morpho-Physiological Insights at the Seedling Stage
Salinity is a critical abiotic stress influencing plant growth. However, its effect on grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L.) remains insufficiently explored. The present study screened 24 germplasm accessions representing 11 Lathyrus species at the...
Gene expression study of durum wheat hybrids under water deficit conditions
Background The present study was conducted at the CerealMed project farm during the 2021–2022 and 2022–2023 growing seasons using a strip plot design with two replications. The objective was to evaluate durum wheat hybrids and six durum wheat...
Untargeted and targeted metabolomics approaches to characterise, select and advance cassava pre-breeding populations with enhanced whitefly tolerance
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) provides food security for over 500 million people in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci) is a pest in this region that results in ca. 50% crop yield losses. Thus, it is important to develop...
