The development of an agriculture of high yield in the arid and semi-arid zones requires a previous characterization of plant genotypes. This allows choosing plants, which associate, at the same time, three agronomic traits; the resistance to abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity and biotic stresses such as diseases, the yield and the quality of the products. Taking into
account its importance in North Africa, the date palm (Phoenix dactylifera
L.) is the principal plant studied in the BAP laboratory.
The reasons
for the reduced date production in the Maghreb countries are drought conditions,
cultivar compositions
of the palm groves and the Bayoud disease (Fusariosis caused by a
fungus, Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. albedinis). The objectives
of many studies in this field are revealing genetic diversity of this
species and finding useful markers linked to Bayoud
resistance. All investigations contribute to the conservation
of this species.
Atriplex,
a halophyte plant (well adapted to salinity), is studied in the Laboratory
as a plant model for tolerance to salt (an important abiotic stress).
Cereals,
glycophyte plants (without high salt tolerance), are studied in order
to evaluate their adaptation potential with relation to their genetic
diversity.
Much of our
research relates to education,
the other main task of the BAP laboratory. Both undergraduate and graduate
students are participating in individual projects. Thus, the laboratory
participates in many theoretical and practical courses in the fields of
plant biochemistry, genetic diversity and plant breeding.
The
principal objectives of the BAP Laboratory are:......See
reports (in frensh) ....
1/ Extending of the scientific knowledge through publications of the research results. 2/ Local training in the field of plant biochemistry, genetic diversity and plant breeding. 3/ Setting scientific equipment for research and training in the plant field The funds of BAP laboratory are diversified. The International Foundation for Science (IFS, Stockholm, Sweden), a non-governmental organization founded in 1972 is supporting many projects carried out in the BAP Laboratory. Its mandate is to contribute to the strengthening of capacity in developing countries to conduct relevant and high quality research on the management, use, and conservation of biological resources. Funding sources of the BAP Laboratory are diversified. During the period 1988-1998, a high part comes from the International Foundation for Science (IFS).
