Foliar fungal disease-resistant introgression lines of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) record higher pod and haulm yield in multilocation testing
Introgression lines (ILs) of groundnut with enhanced resistance to rust and late leaf spot (LLS) recorded increased pod and haulm yield in multilocation testing. Marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach was used to ...
Root adaptations to soils with low fertility and aluminium toxicity
Background Plants depend on their root systems to acquire the water and nutrients necessary for their survival in nature, and for their yield and nutritional quality in agriculture. Root systems are complex and a variety ...

Utilization of Molecular, Phenotypic, and Geographical Diversity to Develop Compact Composite Core Collection in the Oilseed Crop, Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) through Maximization Strategy
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.) is a dryland oilseed crop yielding high quality edible
oil. Previous studies have described significant phenotypic variability in the crop and
used geographical distribution and phenotypic ...
Draft genome of the peanut A-genome progenitor (Arachis duranensis) provides insights into geocarpy, oil biosynthesis, and allergens
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.), a legume of South American
origin, has high seed oil content (45–56%) and is a staple crop in
semiarid tropical and subtropical regions, partially because of drought
tolerance ...
Tillage impact on soil erosion by water: Discrepancies due to climate and soil characteristics
No-tillage (NT) is promoted for soil and water conservation, but research
findings on overland
flow and
soil erosion are inconsistent across different ecosystems, with some studies showing no benefits of NT
over conventional ...
Putting Economic and Environmental Sustainability Hand in Hand to Protect Our Lands
Land degradation is an underestimated global concern with far-reaching
implications affecting the ability of land to provide food and incomes. Globally, a
large portion of the vulnerable human populations—the rural poor—live ...
Identification and Comparative Analysis of Differential Gene Expression in Soybean Leaf Tissue under Drought and Flooding Stress Revealed by RNA-Seq
Drought and flooding are two major causes of severe yield loss in soybean worldwide. A lack of knowledge of the molecular mechanisms involved in drought and flood stress has been a limiting factor for the effective management ...
Differential Induction of Flavonoids in Groundnut in Response to Helicoverpa armigera and Aphis craccivora Infestation
Flavonoids are important plant secondary metabolites, which protect plants from various stresses, including herbivory. Plants differentially respond to insects with different modes of action. High performance liquid ...
Soil Texture and Cultivar Effects on Rice (Oryza sativa, L.) Grain Yield, Yield Components and Water Productivity in Three Water Regimes
The objective of this study was to determine the effects of water regime/soil condition (continuous
flooding, saturated, and aerobic), cultivar (‘Cocodrie’ and ‘Rondo’), and soil texture
(clay and sandy loam) on rice grain ...
