Development of a panel of unigene derived polymorphic EST-SSR markers in lentil using public database information
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), a diploid (2n = 14) with a genome size greater than 4000 Mbp, is an important cool season food legume grown worldwide. The availability of genomic resources is limited in this crop species. ...
Lentils (Lens culinaris L.), a Rich Source of Folates
The potential for genetic biofortification of U.S.-grown lentils (Lens culinaris L.) with bioavailable folate has not
been widely studied. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the folate concentration of 10 ...
Development of Molecular Markers for Iron Metabolism Related Genes in Lentil and Their Expression Analysis under Excess Iron Stress
Multiple genes and transcription factors are involved in the uptake and translocation of iron in plants from soil. The sequence information about iron uptake and translocation related genes is largely unknown in lentil ...
Molecular Marker Assisted Gene Pyramiding
Genomics-assisted breeding is a relatively powerful and fast approach to develop high-yielding plant varieties adapted to different environmental conditions. In lentils, the availability of molecular markers associated ...
Current Knowledge on Genetic Biofortification in Lentil
Micronutrient deficiency in the human body, popularly known as “hidden hunger”, causes many health problems.
It presently affects >2 billion people worldwide, especially in South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa. Biofortification ...
Genetic diversity among cultivated and wild lentils for iron, zinc, copper, calcium and magnesium concentrations
Information on the seed mineral concentration of cultivated and wild lentils is limited. The objective of this study was to determine the concentrations of iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), calcium (Ca), copper (Cu), and ...
