Global Lentil Production: Constraints and Strategies
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) is an important food legume crop with global
production of 3.59 million tonnes. The crop suffers substantial yield losses from
various biotic and abiotic stresses. Past efforts have ...
Lentils (Lens culinaris L.), a Rich Source of Folates
The potential for genetic biofortification of U.S.-grown lentils (Lens culinaris L.) with bioavailable folate has not
been widely studied. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the folate concentration of 10 ...
Prebiotic Oligosaccharides, Resistant Starch and Sugar Alcohols in Lentils: Implications for Obesity
Imbalanced energy intake, coupled with low concentrations of
bioactive compounds in foods, has fueled the rising epidemic of obesity
and related non-communicable diseases. Currently, over 35% of
American adults are ...
Evaluation of wild species of lentil for agro-morphological traits
Most of the existing varieties of lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) have been developed mainly
through intraspecific hybridization and pureline selection leading to a narrow genetic base in
cultivated populations. ...
NARROWING YIELD GAPS THROUGH GENETIC IMPROVEMENT FOR FUSARIUM WILT RESISTANCE IN THREE PULSE CROPS OF THE SEMI-ARID TROPICS
Chickpea, pigeonpea and lentil constitute the major component of low-input agriculture in the semi-arid tropics
(SAT). These pulses play an important role in alleviating malnutrition by way of forming an inseparable ...
Combining Ascochyta blight resistance and high yield in lentil cultivars
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Ascochyta lentis Bond and Vassil, is a major disease of lentil (Lens culinaris L. Medik.) causing 30–70% yield losses in
Canada, USA, and Australia and northern parts of India. The aim of ...
Effects of supplementary irrigation on Fusarium wilt epidemics and yield of lentil in northern Syria
Lentil (Lens culinaris) is a major legume crop in Syria where its productivity is low mainly due to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis) and drought. Although Fusarium wilt resistant cultivars are being introduced ...
