Geographical distribution of traits and diversity in the world collection of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br., synonym: Cenchrus americanus (L.) Morrone] landraces conserved at the ICRISAT genebank
The genebank at ICRISAT conserves the
largest collection of 23,092 pearl millet germplasm
accessions originating in 52 countries. A total of 15,979
landraces originating in 34 countries and having geographic
coordinates ...
Anticlastogenic potential of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in white mice (Mus musculus L.)
This study investigated the anticlastogenic potential of International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) bred pigeonpea utilizing the micronucleus test using white mice models to determine the number ...
Gene action and combining ability estimates using cytoplasmic-genic male sterile lines to develop pigeonpea hybrids for rainfed condition
Pigeonpea is the major source of vegetable protein in
Indian diet. About 72.5 percent area and 62.5 production of
world’s pigeonpea is in India.Pigeonpea is the only food legume
where cytoplasmic-genic male sterility is ...
Next-generation sequencing for identification of candidate genes for Fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)
Pigeonpea is a resilient crop, which is relatively more drought tolerant than many other
legume crops. To understand the molecular mechanisms of this unique feature of
pigeonpea, 51 genes were selected using the Hidden ...
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 ...
Mapping of groundwater potential zones across Ghana using remote sensing, geographic information systems, and spatial modeling
Groundwater development across much of
sub-Saharan Africa is constrained by a lack of knowledge
on the suitability of aquifers for borehole construction.
The main objective of this study was to map
groundwater potential ...
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 ...
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 ...
Performance of groundnut genotypes under millet based intercropping systems in Sudan Savanna of Nigeria
Spatial arrangement of crops is critical in
determining the growth and yield of lower crops in
intercropping. The productivity of two spatial
arrangements of pearl millet-groundnut intercrops was
studied in the Sudan savanna ...
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, ...
