Assessing the productivity potential of camelina (Camelina sativa L. Crantz) in the Mediterranean basin: Results from multi-year and multi-location trials in Europe and Africa
Camelina is a multi-purpose oilseed crop for industrial bio-based applications. Recently, it has gained increasing attention mostly due to the possibility to grow with limited resources and in marginal environments, as well as to increase soil...
Data on the Land Cover Transition, Subsequent Landscape Degradation, and Improvement in Semi-Arid Rainfed Agricultural Land in North–West Tunisia
Understanding past landscape changes is crucial to promote agroecological landscape transitions. This study analyzes past land cover changes (LCCs) alongside subsequent degradation and improvements in the study area. The input land cover (LC)...
Applying Theory of Change in research program planning: Lessons from CGIAR
Theory of Change (ToC) is widely used as a tool to support strategic planning, monitoring, and evaluation in many fields, especially for social and environmental programs. However, there is still limited documented experience with the...
Assessing the Evolution of Stability and Maturity in Co-Composting Sheep Manure with Green Waste Using Physico-Chemical and Biological Properties and Statistical Analyses: A Case Study of Botanique Garden in Rabat, Morocco
Agriculture Water Management, Food Security, and Sustainable Agriculture in the People’s Republic of China and India under Climate Change
Water shortage is one of the major environmental challenges in emerging Asian economies such as India and the People’s Republic of China (PRC), presenting significant threats to livelihood and food security in coming decades. The growing...
Arginine promotes seed energy metabolism, increasing wheat seed germination at low temperature
Low temperatures during germination inhibit seed growth, lead to small and weak seedlings, and significantly reduce the wheat yield. Alleviating the adverse effects of low temperature on wheat seed germination is highly important for achieving...
Renewable Energy and Net House Integration for Sustainable Cucumber Crop Production in the Arabian Peninsula: Extending Growing Seasons and Reducing Resource Use
Genetic analysis of efficiency-related traits in Boer x Central Highland goats
This study aimed to identify important non-genetic factors and estimate genetic parameters for efficiency-related traits in Boer x Central Highland goats. The genetic parameters were estimated using the Average Information Restricted Maximum...
Genome-wide association and genomic prediction study of elite spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes under drought conditions across different locations
Abiotic stress, notably drought, impacts wheat production globally, but more so in central and South Asia, North Africa (CWANA), and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The current study attempts to identify significant markers linked to drought and heat...
Genome wide association study of seedling and adult plant leaf rust resistance in two subsets of barley genetic resources
Leaf rust (LR) caused by Puccinia hordei is a serious disease of barley worldwide, causing significant yield losses and reduced grain quality. Discovery and incorporation of new sources of resistance from gene bank accessions into barley...
