Drought has been a major cause of agricultural disaster, yet how it affects the vulnerability of maize and wheat production in combination with several co-varying factors (i.e., phenological phases, agro-climatic regions, soil texture) remains unclear. Using a data synthesis approach, this study aims to better characterize the effects of those co-varying factors with drought and to provide crit...

In Egypt, recent shortfalls in the wheat supply from Russia and Ukraine have necessitated substantial increases domestic production. As agricultural practices influence yield of bread wheat, we assessed current production strategies wheat-based systems Egypt investigated their effects on productivity four study areas Nile Delta. We used a multi-stage random sampling technique to select 246 whea...

Concerns over the potential risks of nanomaterials to ecosystem have been raised, as it is highly possible that nanomaterials could be released to the environment and result in adverse effects on living organisms. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is one of the main greenhouse gases. The level of CO2 keeps increasing and subsequently causes a series of environmental problems, especially for agricultural cro...

Durum wheat is grown globally on 13.5 million ha in 2020/2021, which amounts to 6.2% of the area. It assumed that past it was more important, but extent importance unknown. In this work, a historical estimation durum area carried out, based data main cultivating countries. Many from earliest period were percentage all wheat. During nineteenth century, around 14–16%. However, throughout 19th and...

*Corresponding author Email : [email protected] INTRODUCTION In India agriculture plays a strategic role as this sector is the mainstay of the country’s economy. About 18% of the national income is from this sector which provides employment to about more than half of the work force in the country (Kothai 2011). Significant progress has been made in food grain production in India over t...

abstractbackground and objectives: all changes in the development stages of plants results in the change of one or more yield components and finally, the ultimate yield and manipulation of these periods means to create new possibilities for increasing yield. accordingly, planting date has a significant impact on plant growth and development during the growth season, so that any shift in plantin...

Despite being a major international crop, our understanding of the wheat genome is relatively poor due to its large size and complexity. To gain a greater understanding of wheat genome diversity, we have identified single nucleotide polymorphisms between 16 Australian bread wheat varieties. Whole-genome shotgun Illumina paired read sequence data were mapped to the draft assemblies of chromosome...

* Corresponding author Due to the inherent difficulties associated with gene delivery into regenerable explants and recovery of plantlets with the introduced transgene, wheat was the last among cereals to be genetically transformed. This review attempts to summarize different efforts in the direction of achieving genetic transformation of wheat by various methods. Particle bombardment is the mo...
