Decomposing additive genetic variance revealed novel insights into trait evolution in synthetic hexaploid wheat
(Frontiers, 2018)
Whole genome duplication (WGD) is an evolutionary phenomenon, which causes significant changes to genomic structure and trait architecture. In recent years, a number of studies decomposed the additive genetic variance ...

An informational view of accession rarity and allele specificity in germplasm banks for management and conservation
(Public Library of Science, 2018)
Germplasm banks are growing in their importance, number of accessions and amount of characterization data, with a large emphasis on molecular genetic markers. In this work, we offer an integrated view of accessions and ...

Literature on gendered agriculture in Pakistan: neglect of women's contributions
(Elsevier, 2018)
Women's role in agriculture is widely reported to be essential; despite this, women's role in the wheat-sector is under-researched. Feminist standpoint theory is applied in analyzing 73 documents on women's role in agriculture ...

IPM to control soil-borne pests on wheat and sustainable food production
(Arab Society for Plant Protection, 2018)
Soil Borne Pathogens (SBPs) including the Heterodera species, cereal cyst nematode (CCN), Pratylenchus species, root lesion nematode and crown rot (CR) caused by Fusarium species, attack the roots of cereal crops resulting ...

Increasing yield stability and input efficiencies with cost-effective mechanization in Nepal
(Elsevier, 2018)
Nepal is at a crossroads of diminishing farm-labor and inadequate investment into farming operations that, among other factors, have stagnated domestic wheat yield. Cultural and economic constraints have hindered the ...

Impact of ridge-furrow planting in Pakistan: empirical evidence from the farmers field
(Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2018)
Wheat is planted through the broadcast method on 7.8 million ha and irrigated through low-efficiency flood basin irrigation methods. With decreased water availability, there is a need to adopt water use efficient planting ...

Impact of conservation agriculture on soil physical properties in rice-wheat system of eastern indo-gangetic plains
(Elewa BioSciences, 2018)
Soils of Indo-Gangetic plains (IGP) of India are prone to physical degradation due to their low organic matter content, and presence of carbonates, gypsum or other soluble salts. To address these challenges, conservation ...

Characterization of Fusarium head blight resistance gene fhb1 and its putative ancestor in Chinese wheat germplasm
(Institute of Crop Sciences, 2018)
Enhancing resistance to Fusarium head blight (FHB) has become one of important breeding objectives in the major wheat-growing regions in China. A prominent locus Fhb1 conferring stable FHB resistance with the largest effect ...
