Marker assisted selection (MAS) is ‘smart breeding’ or fast track plant breeding technol-ogy. It is one tool utilized in breeding companies and research institutes for fast devel-opment of improved varieties, giving possibility to select desirable...
Wheat production in Ethiopia faces numerous climate related constraints that entail development and dissemination of wheat germplasms with yield stabilizing traits under climate related challenges such as frost, drought, and yellow rust. The adoption...
Undomesticated wild species, crop wild relatives, and landraces represent sources of variation for wheat improvement to address challenges from climate change and the growing human population. Here, we study 56,342 domesticated hexaploid, 18,946...
Increasing temperatures are adversely affecting various food crops, including legumes, and this issue requires attention. The growth of two cool‐season food legumes, chickpea and lentil, is inhibited by high temperatures but their relative...
Drought stress is one of the major constraints limiting the production and productivity of barley. We tried to identify some indicators related to plant productivity by analyzing some agro-morphological and physiological traits in recombinant inbred...
The study investigated, for fixed time artificially inseminated (AI) Menz ewes in field trials, the reproductive
performance of prostaglandin-based treatments simultaneously to the standard ‘P4+eCG’ protocol. A total
of 483 Menz ewes were assigned to...
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.; family Fabaceae) plants with symptoms typical of virus infection (chlorosis, stunting, necrosis, yellowing, and reddening) were collected during disease surveys in June 2012 (386 samples from 23 fields) and May to June...
