New paper on #lentil #herbicides as part the ongoing PhD of Rind Balech at Universidad Córdoba co-supervised by ICARDA and IAS-CSIC Evaluation of performance and stability of new sources for tolerance to post-emergence herbicides in lentil (Lens culinaris) publish.csiro.au/cp/CP21810

Congrats to Dr Rind Balech for her great PhD defense!! Thanks to fouad maalouf and Shiv Agrawal for offering me the opportunity to interact and learn on #lentil breeding DAUCO ICARDA IAS-CSIC ETSIAM - Universidad de Córdoba

I'm thrilled to announce that today I successtully defended my PhD thesis at Universidad Córdoba. My heartiest thanks goes to my supervisors Diego Rubiales IAS-CSIC, fouad maalouf and Shiv Agrawal ICARDA for their constant support and guidance throughout this journey.

My latest research on "Identification of novel genes associated with herbicide tolerance in Lentil (Lens culinaris)" has just been published with Springer Nature in Scientific Reports Read here: rdcu.be/dGJlR Diego Rubiales IAS-CSIC Shiv Agrawal fouad maalouf ICARDA

Proud to share a glimpse of our Vicia, Lentil, and Faba bean trials at ICARDA Terbol under the #BELIS project — the result of months of collaboration and dedication toward a more food-secure future. Diego Rubiales fouad maalouf Shiv Agrawal #BELIS #ICARDA #LEBANON #FoodLegumes

At ICARDA #Lebanon, work on anti-methanogenic compounds #AMC in Lathyrus is advancing under the #LMF_project. 📦 Samples collected 📊 NIRS scanning ongoing 🧪 in-vitro analysis to begin at ILRI.org. Early metabolomics & gene editing steps show promise for methane reduction.

Same trial, new location 🇱🇧 At ICARDA #Lebanon, 50 elite lentil lines are now under evaluation for machine harvestability - reinforcing efforts to modernize lentil farming across CWANA. One step closer to scalable, climate-smart mechanization. 🌱

🌿 Impressive growth at ICARDA #Lebanon! One of our lentil lines reached 85 cm - far beyond typical height. A promising indicator for biomass production, breeding innovation, and improved harvestability traits.
