A chickpea genetic variation map based on the sequencing of 3,366 genomes
Zero hunger and good health could be realized by 2030 through effective conservation, characterization and utilization of germplasm resources1. So far, few chickpea (Cicer arietinum) germplasm accessions have been characterized ...
InDel markers: An extended marker resource for molecular breeding in chickpea
Chickpea is one of the most important food legumes that holds the key to meet rising global food and nutritional demand. In order to deploy molecular breeding approaches in crop improvement programs, user friendly and cost ...
CRP-GLDC Annual Report 2021
The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) is an international consortium led by the International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and implemented by CGIAR, and ...
Patterns of Resistance and Susceptibility to Races of Ascochyta rabiei Among Germ Plasm Accessions and Breeding Lines of Chickpea
To identify sources of resistance to the six races of Ascochyta rabiei reported from Lebanon and Syria, 1,069 germ plasm accessions and breeding lines were screened against the races in the greenhouse at Tel Hadya, Syria, ...
Impact Assessment of the Village Seed Bank (VSB) program for chickpea, groundnut and pigeonpea in the Central Dry Zone of Myanmar, focusing on the production, distribution, productivity and profitability of seed of improved cultivars
A major objective of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR)-funded MyPulses project in Myanmar was the development of improved, high-yielding varieties of pigeonpea, groundnut and chickpea ...
Evaluation of a World Collection of Chickpea Germ Plasm Accessions for Resistance to Ascochyta Blight
A world collection of 9,574 desi and 3,836 kabuli germ plasm accessions of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) was evaluated for Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei) resistance at the International Center for Agricultural Research ...
Photoperiod Response of Annual Wild Species and Cultivated Chickpea on Phenology, Growth, and Yield Traits
Frequent utilization of wild Cicer species in
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) improvement
programs, as well as the regeneration of these
wild species for efficient conservation in genebanks,
is hindered due to photoperiod ...
Consultants' Meeting on Uses of Grain Legumes
The purpose of holding the Consultants' Meeting on Uses of Grain Legumes is to discuss the current utilization aspects of grains. of chickpea (Cicer arietinum), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), and ground nut (Arachis hypogea) ...
Estimating Targets for GLDC
The SRF was designed to illustrate the impact of agricultural research for development by 2030; it evaluates systemwide anticipated achievements towards the Sustainable Development Goals measured by the three SLOs of ...
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market-demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes ...
