Development of segregating populations for mechanical harvesting and herbicide tolerance
For making crosses, parents were planted on 4 m row plot with inter row distance of 60 cm. F1 seeds were space planted (25 cm between plants) in each row. F2 populations were grown on 50 m row plots, whereas F3 and F5 ...
Evaluate Introgression Lines (ILs) of chickpea cultivars JAKI 9218 and JG 16 carrying “QTL-hotspot” for drought tolerance traits at multi-locations
•Flowering time of introgression lines (ILs) was in the range of 48-56 d under both rainfed and irrigated conditions. However, the maturity time was prolonged by one week under irrigated conditions (107 d) compared to ...
