Dynamic seed zones to guide climate-smart seed sourcing for tropical dry forest restoration in Colombia
Tree-based forest landscape restoration interventions require knowledge on the suitability and origin of seed sources and planting material. A common recommendation is to select locally sourced material based on the assumption that it is well...
ICARDA's Durum Wheat Breeding Program aims to deliver superior varieties with increased yields against a backdrop of rapid climate change. ICARDA's durum wheat program also seeks to reverse the erosion of the crop's genetic diversity resulting...
ICARDA's bread wheat breeding program applies both conventional and molecular approaches to develop and distribute elite bread wheat genotypes, including shuttle breeding, doubled haploids, speed breeding, marker-assisted selection, and critical...
ICARDA's efforts to promote dryland forage legumes are based on genetic resources, seed production, and management. Research based on several long‐term barley‐ and wheat‐based rotation trials have demonstrated forage legumes' viability...
ICARDA breeding efforts are underway to reduce the neurotoxin content in grass pea, as well as to improve its seed yield and biomass, to provide a remunerative crop for safe consumption by humans and animals. Grass pea is a multi-purpose, hardy...
Heat Priming of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Seeds and Foliar Treatment with γ-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA), Confers Protection to Reproductive Function and Yield Traits under High-Temperature Stress Environments
Gradually increasing temperatures at global and local scales are causing heat stress for cool and summer-season food legumes, such as lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), which is highly susceptible to heat stress, especially during its reproductive...
ICARDA is improving the productivity and yield stability of faba bean by aiming to make sure responses to biotic and abiotic stress factors, such as climatic conditions and diseases, are effectively controlled and inherent yield potential is...
Evaluation of disease resistant and high yielding faba bean germplasm in India
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the earliest domesticated food legumes after chickpea and pea in the world. It is been produced in many countries including China, Ethiopia, Egypt, northern Europe, the Mediterranean region, central Asia, East...
