Discovery of genomic regions and candidate genes controlling shelling percentage using QTL ‐seq approach in cultivated peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.)
Cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important grain legume providing high‐quality cooking oil, rich proteins and other nutrients. Shelling percentage (SP) is the 2nd most important agronomic trait after pod yield ...
Improved Livelihoods and Water Productivity through Integrated Watershed Management – A Case Study from China
ICRISAT in partnership with Guizhou Academy of Agricultural Sciences (GAAS), and Yunnan
Academy of Agricultural Sciences (YAAS) implemented two benchmark watersheds namely
Lucheba Watershed at Guizhou and Xiaoxincun ...
Next‐generation sequencing identified genomic region and diagnostic markers for resistance to bacterial wilt on chromosome B02 in peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.)
Bacterial wilt, caused by Ralstonia solanacearum, is a devastating disease affecting over 350plant species. A few peanut cultivars were found to possess stable and durable bacterial wiltresistance (BWR). Genomics-assisted ...
Climate Smart Agriculture for Building Resilience and Improving Livelihoods in Rainfed Areas
The biggest challenge, human kind facing in the 21st century is to cope up with the impacts of the climate change which is affecting
the sustainable development globally. The IPCC (Inter Governmental Panel on Climate Change) ...
Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of peanut cultivars and breeding lines from China, India and the US using simple sequence repeat markers
Cultivated peanut is grown worldwide as richsource
of oil and protein. A broad genetic base is needed for
cultivar improvement. The objectives of this study were to
develop highly informative simple sequence repeat ...

Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
Harnessing the potential of family farming in India and China
Ninety per cent of the world’s farmers are in developing countries and 85 per cent of farms worldwide are less than 2 hectares.
Presently, family farming feeds up to 80 per cent of the population in Asia and subSaharan
Africa, ...
The genome of cultivated peanut provides insight into legume karyotypes, polyploid evolution and crop domestication
High oil and protein content make tetraploid peanut a leading oil and food legume. Here we report a high-quality peanut genome sequence, comprising 2.54 Gb with 20 pseudomolecules and 83,709 protein-coding gene models. We ...
Transcriptomewide sequencing provides insights into geocarpy in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
A characteristic feature of peanut is the subterranean fructification, geocarpy, in which the
gynophore (‘peg’), a specialized organ that transitions from upward growth habit to
downward outgrowth upon fertilization, drives ...
