WOS: 000318196000020Comparative approaches between organic and conventional production systems allow the revealing of suitable crop management systems and perspectives for genetic improvement in grain crop production. For this purpose, two-year-field experiment with five advanced durum wheat lines was conducted under both organic and conventional conditions during 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 growing seasons.

International Legal Developments Year inReview: 2011MARK E. WoJcIK*The year 2011 was a year of profound change in many parts of the world. In the Mid-dle East and North Africa in particular, demonstrations unprecedented in many countriesbrought political changes that no one could have predicted even a year ago. What cameto be known as the "Arab Spring" began after Mohamed Bouazizi, a fruit seller fromsouthern Tunisia, set himself on fire on December 17, 2010 as a protest against the repres-sive government in Tusinia. Anti-government demonstrations brought down the govern-ment of Tunisia's President Zine el-Abidine Ben Ali, who left office in January 2011.Those protests spread to other nations in the Middle East and North Africa, leading tothe fall of President Hosni Mubarak in Egypt, Colonel Muammar Gaddafi in Libya, andPresident Ali Abdullah Saleh in Yemen. Demonstrations were seen in other nations in theregion throughout the year, and some are continuing in 2012. The most disturbing arethe demonstrations in Syria, where the United Nations estimates that more than 8,000persons have died in Syria since demonstrations began in March 2011.,Other significant events in 2011 including the end of the U.S. war in Iraq, one of thelongest wars in U.S. history. Osama bin Laden, the alleged mastermind of the September11 th attacks on the United States, was located and killed in Pakistan by U.S. forces. Andin March 2011, an earthquake in Japan was followed by a tsunami which claimed the livesof at least 16,000 people, with more than 3,000 others still missing a year after the event.The most important political and legal developments of 2011 are reviewed in this vol-ume, which compiles reports from various committees of the American Bar AssociationSection of International Law. Not every event can be covered in -this volume, and theomission of an event from any particular committee's report should not be construed asmeaning that the event was insignificant. All of our committees work under extremelystrict guidelines that limit the number of words that each committee has to roughly 7,000words, including footnotes. Articles are written by members of each committee and, insome cases, non-section members who may have particular knowledge or expertise in anarea. In most cases, the articles are first edited by a committee editor who heroically* Professor of Law, The John Marshall Law School, Chicago, Illinois; Adjunct Professor of Law,Facultad Libre de Derecho de Monterrey, Mexico; Permanent Guest Professor of Anglo-American andComparative Law, University of Lucerne Faculty of Law, Switzerland.1. http://lawprofessors.typepad.com/international-law/2012/03/syria.html.2 THE INTERNATIONAL LAWYERbrings the events of the year into a report within our word count limits. An amazing teamof Deputy Editors then reviews those articles, which I then review as the overall editor ofthe 2011 Year in Review. Student editors at the Dedman School of Law at SouthernMethodist University then closely review the articles line by line and word by word,checking also the sources cited by the authors.Because of all of the work that goes into producing this volume, the final product thatyou now hold in your hands (or that you may be accessing electronically) is a useful andreliable overview of important international law events of 2011. This volume for 2011takes its place in the annual year in review that the Section of International Law publishesin The International Lawyer. Readers interested in a particular subject area or regionshould consult not only this issue but may also profit from looking at earlier reviews fromthe same committee. To facilitate that look back to earlier years, the articles in this year'svolume include citations to the two previous years. We hope that readers find it useful toconsult those earlier sources and to consider developments over more than one year.This year, the team of Deputy Editors was larger than ever. These editors include agreat many law professors who specialize in legal writing, international law, and topicsrelated to foreign and international law. Our Deputy Editors include law professors fromacross the United States but also France, Israel, and Switzerland. Our Deputy Editorsalso include law clerks and staff attorneys from the federal courts, and even a law student(Paul Kossoff) who speaks English, Spanish, Italian, and Chinese. The section is blessedto have such a skilled and dedicated team of Deputy Editors, all of whom volunteer theirefforts and many of whom have now served for a couple of years.

GRAIN YIELD AND YIELD COMPONENTS OF DURUM WHEAT GROWN UNDER ORGANIC AND CONVENTIONAL CONDITIONS. A COMPARATIVE STUDY

Comparative approaches between organic and conventional production systems allow the revealing of suitable crop management systems and perspectives for genetic improvement in grain crop production. For this purpose, two-year-field experiment with five advanced durum wheat lines was conducted under both organic and conventional conditions during 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 growing seasons. Grain yield and yield components (thousand grain weight, spike number per plant and grain number per spike) were determined. Significant positive correlation (r = 0.85**) was found between grain yield of wheat genotypes grown under organic and conventional conditions. Among yield components, a similar correlation (r = 0.74**) was evidenced only in grain number per spike. This suggests that the positive correlation between grain yield of wheat genotypes grown under both conditions is mainly regulated by this yield component. Our finding indicates that any conventional agronomic management which contributes to the increase of grain number per spike, or selected wheat cultivars which have higher value of this parameter may also be advantageous for organic wheat production systems. The critical phenological stage of expression of the character is pointed out, and the practical importance of the finding for facilitating the application of organic systems in durum wheat is underlined
