The potato (Solanaceae family) is a cultivated plant primarily valued for its tubers, which serve as a crucial food source for numerous
populations worldwide. Losses due to postharvest diseases are significantly high and need to be reduced. To preserve tuber quality without
relying on chemical treatments, the application of plant growth promoting r...
Plant genetic resources for food and agriculture (PGRFA) constitute the raw material for enhancing agricultural productivity and improving the quality of agricultural products, thereby ensuring food and nutritional securities. In this context, the National Institute of Agricultural Research (INRA) established a Gene Bank at the Regional Center for...
The presentstudy on optimizing the resilience of prickly pear cactus in Morocco highlights favorable criteria for itscultivation, such as annual variations in precipitations, temperature, relative air humidity, soil salinity, soil type, structure, pH, and organic carbon content. The study shows that only 5% of cultivated land is highly suitable for...
The root lesion nematode, Pratylenchus thornei, causes high yield losses in rainfed wheat fields in Morocco, as well as worldwide. Growing resistant varieties is one of the most effective methods for controlling nematodes. Therefore, a collection of 69 wheat lines (Triticum aestivum and T. durum), provided by the National Institute of Agricultural...
Cereal cyst nematodes (Heterodera avenae) pose a significant threat to wheat production in North Africa. This study assessed the resistance of 100 elite wheat breeding lines (51 durum and 49 bread wheat) from Morocco against H. avenae. Using a single population of the pathogen from the Zaers region, resistance was evaluated based on nematode reprod...
constituent une menace importante pour la production de blé en Afrique du Nord. Cette étude a évalué la résistance de 100 lignées élites de blé (51 lignées de blé dur et 49 lignées de blé tendre) du Maroc contre H. avenae. En utilisant une seule population du pathogène de la région de Zaers, la résistance a été évaluée en fonction des facteurs de r...
Environmental concerns are gradually reducing the global yield capacity of agricultural systems, with climate change representing the most significant challenge. Globally, Potatoes are the most essential non-cereal crop. Therefore, understanding the potential impacts of climate change on potato production is crucial for maintaining future global fo...
Durum wheat production is highly unpredictable throughout the year because of uncertain rainfall and frequent dry spells, and it is absolutely necessary to characterize the impact of drought on grain yield. The objective in this research is to carry out a comparative analysis of biochemical and physiological responses and production parameters of d...
Drought stress is a key factor affecting Morocco’s agricultural productivity. In order to adapt to climate change, it is crucial to select new genotypes which may be slightly but not significantly less efficient. Durum wheat (Tri�ticum durum Desf.) is one of the most important and cereal crops that are impacted by drought. The objective of this res...
Wheat occupies a special role in global food security since, in addition to providing 20% of our carbohydrates and protein, almost 25% of the global production is traded internationally. The importance of wheat for food security was recognised by the Chief Agricultural Scientists of the G20 group of countries when they endorsed the establishment of...
In the Mediterranean basin and especially in Morocco, durum wheat is one of the oldest cultivated cereal species. Durum grin is an important product since it is consumed in different modern and traditional ways. In fact, it is used for bread, pasta, couscous, boulghour and other traditional preparations. However, all these different forms require g...
The root lesion nematodes Pratylenchus thornei cause high yield losses in rainfed wheat fields in Morocco, as well as worldwide. Growing resistant varieties is one of the most effective methods for controlling nematodes. Therefore, a collection of 69 wheat lines (Triticum aestivum and T. durum), provided by CRRA-Meknes, Morocco and ICARDA, were scr...
Leaf and stripe rusts are severe foliar diseases of bread wheat. Recently, chromosomes 5Mg from the related species Aegilops geniculatathat confers resistance to both leaf and stripe rust and 5Ut from Ae. triuncialis conferring resistance to leaf rust have been transferred to bread wheat in the form of disomic DS5Mg(5D) and DS5Ut(5A) chromosome sub...
