Potential of Wild relatives in Sorghum Improvement through Molecular Approaches
Wild relatives of crops play a key role in the development of high performing cultivars. Of the 22 species
comprising the highly variable genus, Sorghum, only one, S. bicolor, is commercially cultivated for food,
feed, and ...
Screening cowpea germplasm (cultivated and wild relatives) for aphid resistance
A total set of 376 entries including 374 mini-core accessions, 1 resistant check (TVu801) and 1 susceptible check (TVx 3236) were evaluated in screening cages at Kano and screen house at Cotonou for resistance to cowpea ...
Breeding lines with improved performance under P and water limitation. Improved lines for combined stress of drought and low P identified
Simple, 3-way and double (4 parent) crosses are created among stress tolerant parents, and including parents for high grain iron. F2 populations are screened under drought stress and promising families are harvested in ...
Identification of suitable carrier material for plant growth-promoting (PGP) actinomycetes for long term storage
ICRISAT has identified 19 PGP actinomycetes, which were also demonstrated for their broad spectrum of PGP traits including biofortification, antagonistic and entomopathogenic traits on cereals such as rice, sorghum and ...
Evaluate AICRP-chickpea lines to wilt and dry root rot in chickpea
Total 50 National nursery, 20 AVT lines were screened for their resistance to wilt in wilt sick plot at ICRISAT and 80 lines for dry root rot using paper towel technique. Per cent wilt incidence was recorded at seedling, ...
