Large-scale microsatellite development in grasspea ( Lathyrus sativus L.), an orphan legume of the arid areas
Background
Grasspea (Lathyrus sativus L., 2n = 14), a member of the family Leguminosae, holds great
agronomic potential as grain and forage legume crop in the arid areas for its superb resilience
to abiotic stresses such ...
BI-CULTURING OF GRASS PEA AND BARLEY IN THE SEMI-ARID REGIONS OF IRAN
Forage production during summer is a challenge in the semi-arid dry areas. There is a short
season window after the cereal harvestin the Iranian semi-arid regions that remains fallow till the
next growing season. The present ...
DEVELOPMENT OF SUPER EARLY GENOTYPES IN GREENGRAM [VIGNA RADIATA (L.)Wilczek]
Greengram [Vigna radiata (L.)Wilczek] also known as mungbean in South Asia, is an important pulse crop of the Vigna group. Among the major production constraints, terminal heat stress during summer season and pre-harvest ...
Assessment of somaclonal variation and stability in in vitro regenerated grass pea plants using SDS-PAGE
Tissue culture may be one of the possible sources of variation for crop improvement. To assess
variation and stability in regenerated plants, shoots were regenerated from the callus derived from
axillary explants of 11 ...
Efficacy of Combined Formulations of Fungicides with Different Modes of Action in Controlling Botrytis Gray Mold Disease in Chickpea
Botrytis gray mold (BGM) caused by Botrytis cinerea Pers. Ex. Fr. is an extremely devastating disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum
L.) and has a regional as well as an international perspective. Unfortunately, nonchemical ...
Genomics enabled improvement of lentil
Development of high-throughput cost-effective
genotyping platforms is crucial for applications in
lentil breeding and genetics
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
