Biochemical characterisation of a cassava (Manihot esculenta crantz) diversity panel for post-harvest physiological deterioration; metabolite involvement and environmental influence
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) produces edible roots, a major carbohydrate source feeding more than 800 million people in Africa, Latin America, Oceania and Asia. Post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD) renders harvested cassava roots...
Baku Climate Action Week, occurring from September 30th to October 4th, 2024, in Baku, Azerbaijan, serves as a pivotal moment in the climate agenda as global preparations intensify for COP29 in Baku in November 2024.
Variability in Chromosome 1 of Select Moroccan Pyrenophora teres f. teres Isolates Overcomes a Highly Effective Barley Chromosome 6H Source of Resistance
Barley net form net blotch (NFNB) is a destructive foliar disease caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres. Barley line CIho5791, which harbors the broadly effective chromosome 6H resistance gene Rpt5, displays dominant resistance to P. teres f...
Economic values of some important traits for smallholder dairy production in Central Ethiopia
Economic value (EV), sensitivity of EV and relative economic importance of milk yield (MY), age at first calving (AFC), calving interval (CI) and herd life (HL) traits were estimated for smallholder dairy cattle production in the central part of...
Estimates of genetic parameters for growth traits in dorper crossbred sheep population
The study was carried out to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters for growth traits in Dorper crossbred sheep. The data set consisted of 5717 growth records from 1347 individuals of Dorper 50% crossbred sheep descended from 43 sires and...
Investigation of the Spread of Bacterial Wheat Leaf Blight Caused by Pathotypes of Pseudomonas syringae in Some Wheat Growing Areas in Syria
Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops grown globally, which is affected by several biotic and abiotic stresses, especially in conjunction with the climatic changes that have been evident in the last decade, and among these stresses is...
Willingness to pay for sheep traits and their heterogeneous effects on prices: Evidence from primary livestock markets in Ethiopia
We test the hypothesis whether levels of key traits of sheep heterogeneously affect market prices of sheep in a rural setting. Feasible generalized least squares and (un)conditional quantile regression estimations were made on a dataset of 1153...
11th International Conference on Legume Genetic and Genomics
The 11th International Conference on Legume Genetics and Genomics is scheduled from September 30 to October 3, 2024, at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre in Queensland, Australia, gathering around 400 prominent researchers, educators...
ICARDA at the WEFE4MED Nexus Community of Practice Launch in Cyprus
The WEFE4MED Project aims to implement a Water-Energy-Food-Ecosystems Nexus approach across the Mediterranean region through a Nexus Community of Practice (NCoP) to address accelerating climate and environmental challenges affecting societies and agro-ecological systems.
Are farmer organizations effective intermediaries and facilitators of agricultural innovations processes? Evidence from Tunisia
Integration of productivity, resource management, and institutional innovations is crucial across different system levels. Traditional research and extension services face challenges in disseminating innovations effectively, leading to the...
