Genetic and Agro-morphological diversity in global barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) collection at ICARDA
Heat stress at later growth stage is one of the major limitations in achieving potential yield in barley. Incorporation of heat tolerance in the variety development process is an essential task that breeders would like to achieve by exploring...
Significance of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria in Grain Legumes: Growth Promotion and Crop Production
Grain legumes are an important component of sustainable agri-food systems. They establish symbiotic association with rhizobia and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, thus reducing the use of chemical fertilizers. Several other free-living microbial...
A roadmap for food system recovery in fragile states and territories
On World Science Day for Peace and Development, we showcase our work to restore food systems after national shocks - often the first step towards recovery.
Safeguarding a global seed heritage from Syria to Svalbard
Crop diversity underpins food security and adaptation to climate change. Concerted conservation efforts are needed to maintain and make this diversity available to plant scientists, breeders and farmers. Here we present the story of the rescue...
Tapping the Economic Potential of Chickpea in Sub-Saharan Africa
Chickpea is a nutrition-rich, cropping-system friendly, climate-resilient, and low-cost production crop. It has large economic potential in the sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) region, where it currently accounts for only approximately half a million...
ICARDA scientists win the Crop Science Society of America 2020 Outstanding Paper Award
