Development, characterization and linkage analysis of microsatellite loci for the Ascochyta blight pathogen of faba bean, Didymella fabae
Eighteen microsatellite markers were developed for Didymella fabae, seventeen of which were highly polymorphic among a sample of D. fabae isolates from Syria. Genetic linkage analysis assigned the markers to eight linkage groups. These markers...
Potential antagonistic fungal species from Ethiopia for biological control of chocolate spot disease of Faba Bean
Chocolate spot disease (Botrytis fabae Sard) is one of most yield limiting constraints of faba bean (Vicia faba). There is promise in using biological control agents to control chocolate spot diseas`es, nevertheless, this strategy has not been...
Viruses Infecting Chickpea And Lentil Crops In Azerbaijan
A survey was conducted to identify viruses affecting chickpea and lentil crops in the major production areas of Azerbaijan during June 2007 and May 2008. The survey covered randomly selected 16 farmers' fields (13 chickpea and three lentil) and...
New microsatellite markers for assessment of genetic diversity in date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.)
New primer pairs of genomic DNA microsatellite markers were tested to assess the genetic diversity of eleven date palm genotypes. The results indicated that out of thirty, only seven primers (23.3%) failed to amplify the expected PCR fragments...
The CGIAR Eco-Regional Collaborative Research Program for Sustainable Agricultural Development in Central Asia and the Caucasus has been actively present in the Region since 1998. It currently involves eight CGIAR Centers - CIMMYT, CIP, ICARDA...
Modification of milk fatty acid composition by feeding forages and agro-industrial byproducts from dry areas to Awassi sheep
The study tested the hypothesis that certain under-used forages and agro-industrial byproducts available in dry areas may positively influence fatty acid (FA) composition and antioxidative properties of milk by their contents of residual oil or...
Breeding Food Legumes for Resistance to Storage Insect Pests: Potential and Limitations
Storage insect pests cause significant losses of food legumes particularly in the Tropics and the Sub-tropics. The most important species of storage insect pests of food legumes include Callosobruchus chinensis, C. maculatus, C. analis...
Assessment of genetic diversity for some Iraqi date palms (Phoenix dactylifera L.) using amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) markers
Amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP) were used to evaluate the genetic diversity between 18 date palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) varieties (11 females and 7 males) collected from the center of Iraq. Six primer pairs were applied to...
Eco - physiological behaviour of two woody oak species to combat desertification in the east Mediterranean-a case study from Lebanon
The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment scenarios as well as other global assessments have revealed that factors like climate change, land use changes, biotic interferences and atmospheric CO2 will be the major drivers of future biodiversity loss...
