Genetic Diversity in Lens Species Revealed by EST and Genomic Simple Sequence Repeat Analysis
Low productivity of pilosae type lentils grown in South Asia is attributed to narrow genetic
base of the released cultivars which results in susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses.
For enhancement of productivity ...
Plot-level impacts of improved lentil varieties in Bangladesh
The advent of improved lentil varieties (ILVs) in the mid-1990s solved the disease problem which almost halted lentil production in Bangladesh. Levels of adoption of ILVs have been documented in the literature, but little ...
Ex-ante Evaluation of Research and Technology Options for Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
A panel of experts reviewing the CGIAR Research Program Proposal on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (GLDC) recommended that the participating centers set research priorities based on rigorous yield gap analyses, ex ante ...
Identification of High-Temperature Tolerant Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Genotypes through Leaf and Pollen Traits
Rising temperatures are proving detrimental for various agricultural crops. Cool-season legumes such as lentil (Lens culunaris Medik.) are sensitive to even small increases in temperature during the reproductive stage, ...
Crop Wild Relatives Crosses: Multi-Location Assessment in Durum Wheat, Barley, and Lentil
Crop wild relatives (CWR) are a good source of useful alleles for climate change adaptation.
Here, 19 durum wheat, 24 barley, and 24 lentil elites incorporating CWR in their pedigrees were yield
tested against commercial ...
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 ...
Potential and limits of exploitation of crop wild relatives for pea, lentil, and chickpea improvement
Legumes represent the second most important family of crop plants after grasses, accounting for approximately 27% of the world's crop production. Past domestication processes resulted in a high degree of relatedness between ...

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 ...
Protein Biofortification in Lentils (Lens culinaris Medik.) Toward Human Health
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a nutritionally dense crop with significant quantities of
protein, low-digestible carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. The amino acid composition
of lentil protein can impact human ...
