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 ...
Herbicide tolerance Faba bean, chickpea and lentils
The research aimed to screen faba bean, Chickpea and lentils to diverse herbicides. 50 lentil genotypes were screened to Imizathapyr and Metribuzin; 226 Chickpea lines screened to Imizathapyr and Metribuzin, among them 100 ...
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 ...
Exploration of cultural norms and practices influencing women’s participation in chickpea participatory varietal selection training activities: A case study of Ada’a and Ensaro districts, Ethiopia
In order to encourage gender equality in delivery of varietal knowledge to male and female farmers in Ada‟a and Ensaro districts of Ethiopia, chickpea breeders set a policy that each male farmer would bring along his wife ...
Homologous promoter derived constitutive and chloroplast targeted expression of synthetic cry1Ac in transgenic chickpea confers resistance against Helicoverpa armigera
The insecticidal crystal protein derived from
gram positive soil bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis plays
an important role in controlling lepidopteran infestation.
The present study seeks to protect chickpea plants ...
Expanding Chickpea in non-traditional Lowlands of Ethiopia
Frequent drought is affecting the mixed farming and agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopia. In
the Agro-pastoral lowlands, maize, sorghum and common bean are the key crops produced by
famers when rainfall is favorable. ...
An Update on Genetic Resistance of Chickpea to Ascochyta Blight
Ascochyta blight (AB) caused by Ascochyta rabiei (Pass.) Labr. is an important and
widespread disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) worldwide. The disease is particularly severe
under cool and humid weather conditions. ...
Extra-early chickpea and lentil varieties for Southeast Asia and East Africa
Development of extra-early varieties of chickpea and lentil offers opportunities for intensification and diversification of existing cropping systems in addition to introduction in new niches such as rice fallows in South ...
Number of improved lines to be shared with NARS partners for multi-environment testing
This report contains list of International nurseries shared with NARS partners in Target regions during 2016. The total number of faba bean nursery were 8 with 216 improved lines; the total number of chickpea nursery 9 ...
Chickpea lines screened for resistance to Leafminer and pod borer
High infestation by leaf miner was observed this year. Two accessions (IG 125018 and IG 125032) confirmed resistance to leaf miner with rating of 3 in the 1-9 visual damage score (VDS). Four others lines showed moderate ...
