Multi-environment evaluation of pigeonpea disease nursery of 28 lines to wilt and SMD resistance
Under the ICAR-ICRISAT collaboration, during 2015-16 crop seasons, Pigeonpea Wilt and SM Disease Nursery (PWSMDN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated for wilt and SMD ...
Development of proteome library from FOC inoculated chickpea resistant and susceptible cultivars under elevated CO2 through MALDI and MS-MS analysis
Total root proteins of control and Foc infected chickpea (JG 62 and WR 315) were extracted. Isoelectric focusing (IEF) of extracted proteins was carried out using immobilized pH gradient (IPG) strips. 2-DE gels were scanned ...
Integrated pest management of food legume insect pests in North Africa, West and Central Asia
Food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean) are important crops in North Africa, West and Central Asia
(CWANA). However, their production is adversely affected by a number of insect pests such as chickpea
Leaf miner and Pod ...
Sustainable management of chickpea pod borer. A review
The pod borer [Helicoverpa armigera Hubner
(Lepidoptera: Noctuidae)] is responsible for causing up to 90%
damage in chickpea due to its regular occurrence from the vegetative
growth to the pod formation stage. In order to ...
Screening wild vigna species and cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) landraces for sources of resistance to striga gesnerioides
This chapter presents the results of a study conducted on the experimental field of the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Minjibir, Kano State, Nigeria, during the planting seasons of 2012 and 2013 ...
Application of Modern Tools of Biotechnology for Pest Management
Recombinant DNA technology has significantly enhanced our ability for crop improvement, to meet the increased demand for food and fiber. Considerable progress has been made over the past two decades in manipulating genes ...
Expression profiling from different tissues and developmental stages to define gene atlas
Thirty seven different samples representing 19 aerial, seven underground, two germinal and nine seed development related tissues from five different developmental stages have been targeted. The five developmental stages ...
Identification and Validation of Reference Genes and Their Impact on Normalized Gene Expression Studies across Cultivated and Wild Cicer Species
Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR) is a preferred and reliable method for accurate quantification
of gene expression to understand precise gene functions. A total of 25 candidate
reference genes including traditional and ...
Adult Sitona crinitus H. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) feeding preference on some legume species
We determined the feeding preference under artificial infestation in plastic house conditions
of Sitona crinitus Herbst on several legumes: Vicia sativa, V. ervilia, V. faba, Lens culinaris
(small Syrian local " ILL: 4401"), ...
Gene action and combining ability estimates using cytoplasmic-genic male sterile lines to develop pigeonpea hybrids for rainfed condition
Pigeonpea is the major source of vegetable protein in
Indian diet. About 72.5 percent area and 62.5 production of
world’s pigeonpea is in India.Pigeonpea is the only food legume
where cytoplasmic-genic male sterility is ...
