Seedling assessment of 13 stem rust samples collected from southwest of Iran revealed that three collections were virulent for Sr31 and Sr38. Physiological races of RTRTC, HRCTC, RRTTF, TTPTC, TTTQF, JTHTC and TTKSK were identified for nine...

Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis with two primer sets of luteoviruses was used to characterize an isolate of Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus (CpCSv, genus Polerovirus, family Luteoviridae) (SC402-08) collected from...

‘FIGS’: A more precise approach to mining agricultural gene banks. This report presents the possibilities of ‘FIGS’, a new technique for searching agricultural genebanks, that helps crop breeders and their managers achieve faster and better...

Information on the variation available for different plant attributes has enabled germplasm collections to be effectively utilised in crop improvement. This study evaluated 380 durum wheat landraces, representing a worldwide durum wheat...

Simple sequence repeats and mating type markers were used to estimate the genetic diversity of 133 Didymella rabiei isolates collected from nine provinces of Syria. Moreover, phenotyping was done on 56 isolates randomly selected from the...

Leaf rust (Puccinia triticina Eriks. & Henn.) is a major disease affecting durum wheat production. The Lr14a-resistant gene present in the durum wheat cv. Creso and its derivative cv. Colosseo is one of the best characterized leaf-rust...

Cactus pear (Opuntia spp.) makes a valuable contribution to the food security and nutrition of people throughout the world wherever water is scarce. The plant is highly versatile and, in addition to feeding people, it is widely used for...

A global collection of 43 chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes, resistant and susceptible to Ascochyta blight caused by Ascochyta rabiei was evaluated for the disease under controlled conditions. In this study three known pathotypes (P-I, P...

Ascochyta blight (AB) resistance reactions were studied in 23 chickpea cultivars, mainly advanced lines and Tunisian varieties from the Tunisian chickpea breeding program, growing both at two locations and under controlled conditions. Two co...
