Representative, broad and diverse collections are a primary resource to dissect genetic diversity and meet pre-breeding and breeding goals through the identification of beneficial alleles for target traits. From 2,500 tetraploid wheat accessions...

This manual provides a set of conceptual definitions and practical implementation protocols for knowledge and scaling hubs. Both concepts of knowledge and scaling hubs are developed to aggregate, leverage, and coordinate the efforts undertaken by...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an economically important food legume grown in arid
and semi-arid regions of the world. Chickpea is cultivated mainly in the rainfed, residual
moisture, and restricted irrigation condition. The crop is always prone to...

Homozygosity of long sequence genotypes are a result of parents transmitting identical
haplotypes, which can be used to estimate their auto-zygosity. Therefore, we used high-density SNP
Chip data to characterize the auto-zygosity of each breed...

Intensifying outmigration in dryland areas affects women's roles in agriculture and related activities, with
broader implications for productivity and gender equity. Using a systematic review of literature, we examine
the effects of migration on the...

Morocco is a well known hot-spot of biodiversity in the Mediterranean basin. While some taxa like vascular plants are relatively well recorded, important groups of pollinators like bees are still understudied. This article presents an updated...

Stripe or yellow rust, caused by Puccinia striiformis Westend. f. sp. tritici is a
major threat to bread wheat production worldwide. The breakdown in resistance
of certain major genes and newly emerging aggressive races of stripe rusts
pose serious...
