Influence of drought and heat stress, applied independently or in combination during seed development, on qualitative and quantitative aspects of seeds of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) genotypes, differing in drought sensitivity
Terminal droughts, along with high temperatures, are becoming more frequent to strongly influence the seed development in cool‐season pulses like lentil. In the present study, the lentil plants growing outdoors under natural ...
Expression Of The Dreb1A Gene In Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medik. Subsp Culinaris) Transformed With The Agrobacterium System
Until now three publications have reported the development of transgenic lentil plants through protocol optimisation using the gusA gene, but there are no reports of the introduction of a gene with agronomic importance. ...
Genetic Diversity in Lens Species Revealed by EST and Genomic Simple Sequence Repeat Analysis
Low productivity of pilosae type lentils grown in South Asia is attributed to narrow genetic
base of the released cultivars which results in susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses.
For enhancement of productivity ...
Association mapping unveils favorable alleles for grain iron and zinc concentrations in lentil (Lens culinaris subsp. culinaris)
Lentil is a major cool-season grain legume grown in South Asia, West Asia, and North Africa. Populations in developing countries of these regions have micronutrient deficiencies; therefore, breeding programs should focus ...
Impact of heat stress during seed filling on seed quality and seed yield in lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) genotypes
BACKGROUND: Lentil, a cool-season food legume, is highly sensitive to high temperatures, which drastically reduce biomass and seed yield. The effects of heat stress on qualitative and quantitative aspects of seeds are not ...
Global Wild Annual Lens Collection: A Potential Resource for Lentil Genetic Base Broadening and Yield Enhancement
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) are invaluable gene sources for various traits of interest, yet these potential resources are
themselves increasingly threatened by the impact of climate change as well as other anthropogenic and ...
Identifying and validating SSR markers linked with rust resistance in lentil (Lens culinaris)
Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from a cross between rust resistant (FLIP-2004-7L) and susceptible (L-9-12) genotypes were phenotyped against lentil rust at two hot-spot locations for two consecutive years ...
Lentil Ontology - Crop Ontology Curation Tool
The concepts of the Crop Ontology (CO) are used to curate agronomic databases and describe the data.
Harnessing food legumes for climate-smart agriculture
Food legumes are particularly suited to sustainable agriculture. ICARDA is developing and disseminating improved varieties and production technologies so farmers can benefit from the increasing demand for these climate-smart ...
Analysis of genetic variability and genotype 3 environment interactions for iron and zinc content among diverse genotypes of lentil
Deficiencies of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are major problems in developing countries especially for woman and preschool children. Biofortification of staple food crops is a sustainable approach to improve human mineral intake ...
