Multi environment evaluation of chickpea disease nurseries (wilt, Aschochyta blight and Botrytis grey mold) to identify stable and new sources of resistance
Under the ICRISAT- ICAR collaboration, disease nurseries of wilt (ICWN), AB (IABN) and BGM (IBGMN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated at different locations (hot spots) ...
Surveys conducted to know the occurrence and distribution of diseases in chickpea and pigeonpea growing regions
For chickpea disease, a survey was conducted between November and January in four major chickpea growing states in central and southern parts of India viz. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. For pigeonpea, survey ...
Evaluate AICRP-chickpea lines to wilt and dry root rot in chickpea
Total 50 National nursery, 20 AVT lines were screened for their resistance to wilt in wilt sick plot at ICRISAT and 80 lines for dry root rot using paper towel technique. Per cent wilt incidence was recorded at seedling, ...
RNA-seq based transcriptome profiling, identification and validation of heat stress responsive genes in chickpea
Six contrasting heat responsive (tolerant - ICCV 92944, ICC 1356, ICC 15614 and sensitive - ICC 5912, ICC 4567, ICC 10685) genotypes were selected for the study. Heat stress was imposed using growth chamber facility, ...
Study of expression pattern of defence genes in chickpea and pathogenicity causing genes in FOC through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
Total RNA was extracted from root tissues of wilt infected and control chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 grown under ambient and elevated CO2 condition. cDNA was synthesized from total ...
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 ...
Purification of secondary metabolites from 2 actinomycetes responsible for antagonistic activity against important fungal pathogens of chickpea and sorghum
In our previous study, a total of 137 actinomycetes, isolated from 25 different herbal vermi-composts, were characterized for their antagonistic potential against Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot in sorghum and ...
