Multi-Environment QTL Mapping of Rust Resistance in Faba Bean (Vicia faba L.) to Uromyces viciae-fabae
Faba bean rust is one of the major threats to the cultivation of faba beans worldwide. Three genes for rust resistance (Uvf-1, Uvf-2 and Uvf-3) and fifteen marker-trait associations have been identified so far. This study examines the genetic...
On the origin of the late-flowering ppd-H1 allele in barley
To breed for climate resilient crops, an understanding of the genetic and environmental factors influencing adaptation is critical. Barley provides a model species to study adaptation to climate change. Here we present a detailed analysis of...

Baseline high-resolution maps of soil nutrients in Morocco to support sustainable agriculture
Phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are essential fertilizer elements whose recommendations require soil analysis tailored to crop-specific needs. However, in developing countries like Morocco, access to open databases on nutrient bioavailability...
Genome-Wide Analysis for Yield-Related Agronomic and Biochemical Traits of Chinese and Bangladeshi Grass Pea Genotypes Using SSR Markers
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an imperative food crop cultured in dryland agricultural ecology. It is a vital source of dietary protein to millions of populaces living in low-income countries in South-East Asia and Africa. This study...
Prediction of Australian wheat genotype by environment interactions and mega‑environments
Key message Latent environmental effects of genotype by environment interactions could be predicted from observed environmental covariates. Predictions into the wider target population of environments revealed greater insights. Abstract Wheat is...
Water footprints of irrigated crops in the Chirakchi Watershed, Uzbekistan
The water footprint of crops (WFP) is crucial to understand how efficiently water is used in a farming system. This study evaluated the green and blue water footprints of selected crops in the Chirakchi Watershed, located in southern Uzbekistan...
Screening of lentil genotypes against stemphylium blight disease and molecular identification of causal organism
During the cropping seasons of 2019–20, 2020–21, and 2021–22, respectively, lentil genotypes were screened against Stemphylium blight using the Alpha-Lattice Design with three replications at Pulses Research Centre, BARI, Ishurdi, Pabna-6620...
