Impact of heat stress during seed filling on seed quality and seed yield in lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) genotypes
BACKGROUND: Lentil, a cool-season food legume, is highly sensitive to high temperatures, which drastically reduce biomass and seed yield. The effects of heat stress on qualitative and quantitative aspects of seeds are not ...
Is DNA fingerprinting the gold standard for estimation of adoption and impacts of improved lentil varieties?
In the early 1980s, disease susceptibility in short-season lentil landraces began to limit productivity in areas where relay cropping took place in Bangladesh. Since then, several improved high-yielding lentil varieties, ...
Survey Questionnaire for Gender-responsive Farm-household Typologies, Innovation adoptions, Impacts of Legume-based Technological Interventions on Small Holder Production and Livelihood Performance in Lentil-Chickpea Zones of North-Shewa Amhara region, Highlands of Ethiopia
The document is the survey questionnaire for gender-responsive farm-household typologies, innovation adoptions, impacts of legume-based technological Interventions on small holder production and livelihood performance in ...
Analysis of genetic variability and genotype 3 environment interactions for iron and zinc content among diverse genotypes of lentil
Deficiencies of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are major problems in developing countries especially for woman and preschool children. Biofortification of staple food crops is a sustainable approach to improve human mineral intake ...
Optimization of planting time and population density for short duration lentil
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a major food legume crop grown in rotation with cereal crops in South Asia, West Asia and North Africa (WANA), and Sub-Saharan Africa regions. In WANA region, lentil is also grown in spring ...
Identification of desirable mutants in quantitative traits of lentil at early (M ) generation
Aim: Narrow genetic base and limited genetic diversity are the major research constraints that affect the efficacy of class breeding methods in lentil. In order to circumvent these conditions, mutation breeding techniques ...
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 ...
Analysing the impact of GLDC innovations for managing abiotic and biotic stresses in the agro-ecosystems
The study aims to identify the GLDC innovations adopted by chickpea and lentil farmers, and impacts of biotic and abiotic constraints on chickpea and lentil. Biotic (diseases and insect pests) survey was done from October ...
Developing improved varieties of lentil
Lentil is a popular pulse consumed primarily in Asia. It has a protein content of approx. 28% and also contains high amounts of macro- and micro-nutrients. Lentils are cropped under rainfed conditions and on residual/conserved ...
Gene Pyramiding and Multiple Character Breeding
Plant breeders are often interested in improving several quantitative traits including yield, quality, and resistance to both biotic and abiotic stresses simultaneously. However, breeding for multiple traits together is ...
