Evaluation of Global Composite Collection Reveals Agronomically Superior Germplasm Accessions for Chickpea Improvement
The rich genetic diversity existing within exotic, indigenous, and diverse germplasm lays the foundation for the continuous improvement of crop cultivars. The composite collection has been suggested as a gateway to identifying superior germplasm...
In this short Q&A, Senior Scientist Rachid Moussadek reflects on what caused the fertilizer shortage, its impacts on global food security and on dryland farmers - and how ICARDA can help.
Soil water erosion assessment in Morocco through modeling and fingerprinting applications: A review
During the last century, a great deal of effort has been directed toward determining soil erosion rates using various methods under a wide range of climatic conditions, soil types, land uses, topography, and among others. Therefore, to better...
Genetic mapping of QTLs for drought tolerance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea yield is severely affected by drought stress, which is a complex quantitative trait regulated by multiple small-effect genes. Identifying genomic regions associated with drought tolerance component traits may increase our understanding...
