The objectives of the current study were to estimate the genetic parameters and genetic trends for growth traits, and to assess inbreeding levels of Abera sheep under community-based breeding programs (CBBPs) in Ethiopia. General linear model...
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by the fungal pathogen Ascochyta rabiei, is a devastating foliar disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The genotyping-by-sequencing (GBS)-based approach was deployed for mapping QTLs associated with AB resistance in...

uncertainty of trying new technologies. We conducted a field experiment, in a cluster
randomised control trial setting, to examine whether the availability of...
Heat waves are expected to become more frequent and intense, which will impact faba
bean cultivation globally. Conventional breeding methods are effective but take considerable time
to achieve breeding goals, and, therefore, the identification of...
Chickpea Leaf miner, Liriomyza cicerina Rond., behavior was investigated regarding the oviposition preference and insect performance. In choice situation, the insect was able to discriminate among the presented cultivars of chickpea and showed an...
