Thirty doubled haploid (DH) lines of barley derived from F(1) of a cross between the six-rowed cultivar Pomo and two-rowed cultivar Maresi were examined for susceptibility to Fusarium seedling blight (SB) and head blight (FHB), measured by mycotoxin (nivalenol) content of kernels. RAPD (random amplified polymorphic DNA) polymorphism was analysed by using 53 decamer primers. Amplification produc...

one of the possible ways to ensure future food needs of an increasing world population involves the better water use through the development of crop varieties which need less water and are more tolerant to drought. in order to study the response of twenty landraces of bread wheat to drought stress, an experiment was conducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications under t...

Twenty-five cultivars of grain sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] were examined under both drought stress and normal conditions in 4 experiments. In each condition, genotypes were evaluated in a factorial experiment using a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Eight drought tolerance indices including stability tolerance index, mean productivity (MP), geometric MP, harmonic ...

Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is the third largest source of calories in tropical countries and sixth most important food crop World. However, short shelf life its storage roots after harvest due to a rapid post-harvest physiological deterioration (PPD) makes be considered as risky product market. The objectives this work were investigate influence two periods on cassava agronomic paramete...

Two rapid asparagus (Asparagus officinalis L.) screening methods, in sand culture and vitro, were tested to evaluate the response of young seedlings against F. oxysporum f. sp. asparagi (isolate Foa1). Root morphological parameters evaluated correlated with symptomatology expression defense-related genes at 5 7 dpi. In cultivation, Foa1-inoculated cultivars showed no visible disease symptoms on...
