Coordinates of the centre points of the component parts of the inscribed and proposed extension. Textual description of the boundaries of the proposed extension The proposed extension encompasses basically the Albanian part of Lake Ohrid region including the Lin Peninsula and coastal strip north to the Macedonian border and the Drilon springs and the watercourses linking them to the World Heritage Property “Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid Region”in FYR Macedonia. (Table 1). The proposed extension is located entirely within Pogradec Municipality, Korça Prefecture with an area of 11,378.6 ha (Figure S1; Figures 1.1; 1.2; 1.3 and 1.4). The proposal for inscription is an extension of the “Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid Region”in the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, inscribed in the World Heritage List in 1979 initially as a natural property, under natural criterion (iii), today criterion (vii). In 1980 the site was extended under cultural criteria (iii) and (iv), and became a mixed property. Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid region (Extension to the existing Mixed World Heritage Property “Natural and Cultural Heritage of the Ohrid 4 Region” (99ter) In 2009, at its 33rd session, the World Heritage Committee approved a minor boundary modification that slightly reduced the boundaries of the property to the north and to the west. Within this process, the creation of a buffer zone was encouraged by the Committee. On this occasion, the Committee also recommended

The transfer of agronomically useful genes from wild wheat species into cultivated wheat is one of the most effective approaches to improvement of wheat varieties. To evaluate the transfer of genes from Dasypyrum villosum into Triticum aestivum, wheat quality and disease resistance was evaluated in two new translocation lines, T1DL•1V#3S and T1DS•1V#3L. We examined the levels of stripe rust resistance and dough quality in the two lines, and identified and located the stripe rust resistant genes and high molecular weight glutenin subunit (HMW-GS) genes Glu-V1 of D. villosum. Compared to the Chinese Spring (CS) variety, T1DL•1V#3S plants showed moderate resistance to moderate susceptibility to the stripe rust races CYR33 and Su11-4.

The discovery and deployment of powdery mildew resistance genes (Pm) can prevent this disease epidemic in wheat. In a previous study, we transferred the powdery mildew resistance gene Pm57 from Aegilops searsii into common wheat and cytogenetically mapped the gene in a chromosome region with the fraction length (FL) 0.75–0.87, which represents 12% segment of the long arm of chromosome 2Ss#1.

It is mainly located in the so called “marginal areas” by small farms. Organic market in Albania can be considered as at a very starting stage with small niches marketing point but with a growing interest of consumers for fresh productions with limited processing activities. The conditions for a better partaking in the country’s markets is, however, desirable since commercial and trade between Albania and other countries, mainly EU’s, is readily growing.
