Improving and managing rangeland systems resilience for delivering food and feed, biodiversity conservation with local communities and market linkages for livestock and dryland products
Improving and managing rangeland systems resilience for delivering food and feed in low rainfall areas, in a climate crisis, as well as land degradation neutrality and biodiversity conservation with local communities and ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
Of the various environmental stresses that a
plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most
far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes,
both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...
Genomics-assisted lentil breeding: Current status and futurestrategies
Genomics-assisted breeding has become a powerful tool to develop high-yielding climate-resilient varieties for adaptation to adverse environmental conditions such as heat and drought stresses. Previously, efforts have been ...
