A review of the effects of migration on the feminization of agrarian dryland economies
Intensifying outmigration in dryland areas affects women's roles in agriculture and related activities, with broader implications for productivity and gender equity. Using a systematic review of literature, we examine the effects of migration on...
Genome-wide association study of resistance to PstS2 and Warrior races of Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici (stripe rust) in bread wheat landraces
Stripe or yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici is a major threat to bread wheat production worldwide. The breakdown in resistance of certain major genes and newly emerging aggressive races of stripe rusts pose...
The theme of this year's World Soil Day, "Keep soil alive, protect soil biodiversity,” helps us to focus on current threats to the vital ecosystem and biodiversity of soil, and what ICARDA is doing in dry regions to protect it.
Genetic analysis of survival potential of Boer x Central Highland goats under semi-intensive management
Kid survival is very critical to be profitable in goat production. Thus, this study was conducted to identify genetic and non-genetic factors affecting the survival rate of Boer x Central Highland goat and to estimate genetic parameters for...
Functional description and development of polymorphic EST-SSR markers in bread wheat and their gene interactions network
The tolerance of abiotic stress is considered to be one of the key features of crop breeding under climate changes. For any crop improvement program, the selection of suitable gene pools among the germplasms is first needed. Drought and salinity...
Strengthening Knowledge Management for Greater Development Effectiveness
In the framework of the IFAD funded SKiM project, the International Center for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas ( ICARDA) and Procasur Corporation ( PROCASUR) publish together a wealth of Information on Sudanese agricultural knowledge...
