A SNP marker for the selection of HfrDrd, a Hessian fly-response gene in wheat
The HfrDrd gene has been reported to be induced specifically in the wheat's defence response to Hessian fly larvae and is not a general stress-responsive gene. The gene is located on chromosome 7DS with a homeologue on 7AS. In this study, two...
Partnering with Ethiopian farmers for quick deployment of malt barley and grain legume varieties
Working with the Ethiopian Institute of Agricultural Research, ICARDA scientists are working to develop barley, faba bean and chickpea varieties that are resistant to drought, disease and pests and give a higher yield.

How Turkey can help to guarantee future world food supplies
Last week Izmir hosted more than 80 of the world’s leading scientists in the field of plant genetic resources. As a meeting of scientists responsible for safeguarding crop diversity, the meeting could not have been more important.
Genome-Wide Association Mapping of Yield and Grain Quality Traits in Winter Wheat Genotypes
The main goal of this study was to investigate the genetic basis of yield and grain quality traits in winter wheat genotypes using association mapping approach, and identify linked molecular markers for marker assisted selection. A total of 120...
