Molecular Diagnosis of Viruses Causing Yellowing and Stunting Symptoms Affecting Pulse Crops in Central West Asia and North Africa Countries
Viruses causing yellowing and stunting are the most important virus diseases affecting pulses in many regions of the world, and were considered for many years to be caused mainly by infection with beet western yellows virus (BWYV, genus...
First study of the biology of Cryptolaemus montrouzieri and its potential to feed on the mealybug Dactylopius opuntiae (Hemiptera: Dactylopiidae) under laboratory conditions in Morocco
Dactylopius opuntiae, is known as specific Opuntia cochineal in many countries around the world. This sap-sucking insect was first detected in Morocco in 2014. To address the problem, the feeding potential of different development stages of...

Application of Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy (FIGS) in Australian Environment
Vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is one of the critical variables that drives evapotranspiration, and is of fundamental importance in crop physiology and modeling in the face of climate change. Unfortunately, direct records of atmospheric moisture...
Nutrient flow modelling for assessing the resource criticality of heterogeneous agricultural systems: A case study in Southwestern Burkina Faso
Despite the many advantages of sustainable intensification (SI), the level of adoption of SI practices in African smallholding farms is still very low, posing the need for adequate methods for monitoring farm sustainability. Macronutrient flows...

Guide for Rangeland Vegetation Measurements: Manual on the methods used to monitor the rangelands productivity and managements, the aim is Enhancing capacity of partners is crucial. Thus this manual/guideline for themes related to rangeland...
Functional Dissection of the Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Stay-Green Phenotype Associated with Molecular Variation at an Ortholog of Mendel’s I Gene for Cotyledon Color: Implications for Crop Production and Carotenoid Biofortification
“Stay-green” crop phenotypes have been shown to impact drought tolerance and nutritional content of several crops. We aimed to genetically describe and functionally dissect the particular stay-green phenomenon found in chickpeas with a green...
The BMP7 gene is involved in the growth and development of hair follicles but its regulation mechanism is unclear. We studied the regulation mechanism of the BMP7 promoter by cloning the proximal promoter of BMP7 for bioinformatics analysis. A...
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...
Yield gaps, adoption and seed commercial behaviour: Implications for chickpea seed system in Ethiopia
The paper presents the yield gaps, adoption of improved varieties and the commercial behaviour in seed of smallholder chickpea producers based on the primary data collected from 612 randomly selected farmers covering 36 kebeles from 18 chickpea...
