Diagnostic Techniques of Soil Borne Plant Diseases: Recent Advances and Next Generation Evolutionary Trends
All about 80000 diseases have been recorded in plants throughout the world, of them majority are associated with soil-borne diseases. Early, speedy and reliable detection of plant pathogens is prerequisite to optimize ...
Mechanism of water-logging tolerance in pigeonpea
A study was undertaken to identify the morphophysiological
traits associated with water-logging tolerance in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan L. (Millsp.)].The formation of
aerenchyma cells, lenticels, and adventitious roots in ...
Combining ability studies of pigeonpea CGMS lines with an obcordate leaf marker
Hybrid pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] breeding technology based on CGMS was recently developed. A program was initiated to track the purity of female parental lines by incorporating an obcordate leaf shape marker ...
Stakeholder Involvement in Transdisciplinary Research: Lessons from Three Projects on Sustainable Land Management in a North-South Setting
Sustainability problems call for collaborative solution finding. Lessons learnt from the transdisciplinary designs of three projects in the Global South include the need for a prephase to build balanced ownership, ...
An efficient method for zoospore production, infection and real-time quantification of Phytophthora cajani causing Phytophthora blight disease in pigeonpea under elevated atmospheric CO2
Phytophthora blight caused by Phytophthora cajani is an emerging disease of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) affecting the crop irrespective of cropping system, cultivar grown and soil types. Current detection and identification ...

A genome-wide SNP scan accelerates trait-regulatory genomic loci identification in chickpea
We identified 44844 high-quality SNPs by sequencing 92 diverse chickpea accessions belonging to a seed and pod trait-specific association panel using reference genome- and de novo-based GBS (genotyping-by-sequencing) assays. ...
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 ...
Tillage impact on soil erosion by water: Discrepancies due to climate and soil characteristics
No-tillage (NT) is promoted for soil and water conservation, but research
findings on overland
flow and
soil erosion are inconsistent across different ecosystems, with some studies showing no benefits of NT
over conventional ...
Putting Economic and Environmental Sustainability Hand in Hand to Protect Our Lands
Land degradation is an underestimated global concern with far-reaching
implications affecting the ability of land to provide food and incomes. Globally, a
large portion of the vulnerable human populations—the rural poor—live ...
