Enhancing the value of genetic resources for use in pigeonpea improvement
The ICRISAT genebank
conserves over 13,700 accessions of
pigeonpea from 74 countries. The collection
serves as insurance against genetic erosion
and provides rich source of diversity for crop
improvement. Pigeonpea ...
Association mapping of germinability and seedling vigor in sorghum under controlled low-temperature conditions
Sorghum is one of the world’s most important food, feed, and fiber crops as well as a potential feedstock
for lignocellulosic bioenergy. Early-season planting extends sorghum’s growing season and increases yield in
temperate ...
Variation in drought-tolerance components and their interrelationships in the core collection of foxtail millet (Setaria italica) germplasm
Foxtail millet (Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.) is an ancient cereal cultivated worldwide in arid and marginal
lands. It is an ideal crop for the changing climate, with high photosynthetic efficiency. A trait-based selection ...
Shoot traits and their relevance in terminal drought tolerance of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea is the second most important legume crop largely grown under semi-arid tropics where terminal drought is one of the major constraints for its productivity. A trait-based selection had been considered more beneficial ...
Genome-Wide Scans for Delineation of Candidate Genes Regulating Seed-Protein Content in Chickpea
Identification of potential genes/alleles governing complex seed-protein content (SPC) is essential in marker-assisted breeding for quality trait improvement of chickpea. Henceforth, the present study utilized an integrated ...
Global Resources of Genetic Diversity in Peanut
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual herb, with geocarpic fruits, and an indeterminate growth habit. It is classified
as a legume in the plant family Fabaceae. Carl Linneaus first described the cultivated ...
Interspecific hybridization to introduce useful genetic variability for pigeonpea improvement
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L. ) Millspaugh) is an import ant grain legume grown in t ropical and subt ropical regions of t he world. Narrow
genet ic base coupled wit h low levels of resist ance ...
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 ...
Genotypic variation in soil water use and root distribution and their implications for drought tolerance in chickpea
Chickpeas are often grown under receding soil moisture and suffer ~50% yield losses due to drought stress.
The timing of soil water use is considered critical for the efficient use of water under drought and to reduce yield ...
Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic
coordinates ...
