Advances, challenges and opportunities in cool-season food legumes in dry area
Cool-season food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean, field pea, and grass pea) are an integral part of subsistence farming in dry areas because these crops are a great source of nutritious food, feed, and income to small ...
Surveys conducted to know the occurrence and distribution of diseases in chickpea and pigeonpea growing regions
For chickpea disease, a survey was conducted between November and January in four major chickpea growing states in central and southern parts of India viz. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. For pigeonpea, survey ...
Herbicide tolerance in chickpea, lentil and faba bean
Weed management in cool-season legumes (chickpea, lentil and faba bean) is difficult in the absence of effective post-emergence
herbicides, while manual weeding is expensive, and pre-emergence herbicides are effective only ...
Evaluation early and extra-early chickpea lines for grain yield and other adaptive traits in Ethiopia
Fifteen early and extra early maturing chickpea lines including the standard checks (‘Ejere’ and ‘Minjar’) were evaluated for earliness at Debre Zeit during 2014 off season, 2014 main season, 2015 main season and 2016 ...
RNA-seq based transcriptome profiling, identification and validation of heat stress responsive genes in chickpea
Six contrasting heat responsive (tolerant - ICCV 92944, ICC 1356, ICC 15614 and sensitive - ICC 5912, ICC 4567, ICC 10685) genotypes were selected for the study. Heat stress was imposed using growth chamber facility, ...
Study of expression pattern of defence genes in chickpea and pathogenicity causing genes in FOC through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
Total RNA was extracted from root tissues of wilt infected and control chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 grown under ambient and elevated CO2 condition. cDNA was synthesized from total ...
Improving biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) capacity and productivity of kabuli chickpea (Cicer kabulinum L.) varieties by molybdenum and PSB applications
The experiment entitled “Improving biological nitrogen fixation (BNF)
capacity and productivity of kabuli chickpea (Cicer kabulinum L.) varieties by
PSB and molybdenum applications” was executed during rabi 2015-16 at ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
Of the various environmental stresses that a
plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most
far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes,
both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...
Purification of secondary metabolites from 2 actinomycetes responsible for antagonistic activity against important fungal pathogens of chickpea and sorghum
In our previous study, a total of 137 actinomycetes, isolated from 25 different herbal vermi-composts, were characterized for their antagonistic potential against Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot in sorghum and ...
Testing wild relative of chickpea under different experimental conditions for TE and plant water budget
Three types of assessment were made: (i) the transpiration response to increasing VPD (ii) the transpiration response to soil drying; (iii) the plant water budget of these wild germplasm. 16 wild and 5 cultivated entries ...
