Random regression in comparison with finite-dimensional models for estimation of genetic parameters for growth traits in goats
The application of the random regression model in comparison with finite-dimensional models (univariate and multivariate animal models) for genetic parameter estimation of growth traits in goats was evaluated in this study. A total of 2888 body...
Beyond biodiversity: does “Farming with Alternative Pollinators” also boost farmers’ income in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) fields? a case study in Morocco
Assessing technical efficiency of crop–livestock systems under conservation agriculture: exploring the potential for sustainable system transformation in Tunisia
Purpose This study was conducted in four semi-arid regions in Tunisia – Kef, Siliana, Zaghouan and Kairouan – which have a similar agroecological system based on crop–livestock integration and experience serious soil erosion. The study objective...
Pyramiding Stripe Rust Resistant Genes Yr5, Yr10 and Yr15 in Sids 12 and Gemmeiza 11 Wheat Derived Lines
A total of 173 lines with to stripe rust (Yr) were created by crossing the highly susceptible cultivars Sids 12 and Gemmeiza 11 with the three monogenic lines carrying Yr5, Yr10 and Yr15 genes from 2016 through 2020. These lines were then...
Unraveling the genetic architecture of stripe rust resistance in ICARDA spring wheat
Stripe rust, also known as yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (Pst), is among the most destructive fungal diseases affecting global wheat productivity. Identifying genetic loci associated with Pst resistance is crucial...
