Impact of salinity on physiological and biochemical traits in pearl millet
Salinity is one of the most severe environmental factors limiting the productivity of agricultural crops in arid and semi-arid reg ions. Accumulation of excess salts in the rhizospheric environment results in disturbed ...
Information on Groundnut Seed Production Technologies
Dr T V Murali from ICRISAT presented on groundnut seed production technologies and integrated cultural management practices.
Tester Effect on Combining Ability and Its Relationship with Line Performance per se for Grain Iron and Zinc Densities in Pearl Millet
Development of inbred lines with high general combining ability (GCA) is an important aspect of hybrid breeding research. Although broad-based open-pollinated populations (varieties and composites) are widely used to assess ...
The Lentil Genome – from the sequencer to the field
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris; genome size 4.3 Gb) plays a significant role in supporting
sustainable agriculture worldwide. Its nutrition value has also been recognized as part of the solution to

Genome-wide association study of stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f.sp. hordei) resistance in a world collection of barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Stripe rust (Puccicina striiformis f.sp. hordei) (PSH) is one of the major diseases that causes significant yield losses of barley (Hordeium vulgare L.) worldwide. Frequent breakdown of resistance genes and emergence of ...
Soil Testing as a Tool for On-Farm Fertility Management: Experience from the Semi-arid Zone of India
Rainfed agriculture in the dry regions is affected by water shortages. Our earlier
research showed that the deficiencies not only of major nutrients but also those of sulfur
(S) and micronutrients are holding back the ...
