Resilience of the semi-arid tropical soils
Soils in the semiarid
tropics (SAT) are subject to chemical degradation mostly due to climatic reasons which make the pedoenvironment
hostile to form calcium carbonate. This triggers an overall deterioration of soil ...
Association mapping of germinability and seedling vigor in sorghum under controlled low-temperature conditions
Sorghum is one of the world’s most important food, feed, and fiber crops as well as a potential feedstock
for lignocellulosic bioenergy. Early-season planting extends sorghum’s growing season and increases yield in
temperate ...
Variable indicators for optimum wavelength selection in diffuse reflectance spectroscopy of soils
Diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS) operating in 350–2500 nm wave length range is fast emerging as a rapid and
non-invasive technique for analyzing multiple soil attributes. Because the spectral reflectance values in ...
Gender roles and preferences in animal feeding technologies: a case from Mali
Poster on Gender roles and preferences in animal feeding technologies: A case from Mali
Foliar fungal disease-resistant introgression lines of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) record higher pod and haulm yield in multilocation testing
Introgression lines (ILs) of groundnut with enhanced resistance to rust and late leaf spot (LLS) recorded increased pod and haulm yield in multilocation testing. Marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach was used to ...
Exploring the challenges with soil data in regional land use analysis
Over recent decades, environmentalmodels have gradually replaced traditional, qualitative land evaluation in regional
land use analysis (RLUA). This changed the data requirements as the environmental models require ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci of Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Leaf Spots in a Recombinant Inbred Line Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) from SunOleic 97R and NC94022
Peanut is vulnerable to a range of diseases, such as Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and
leaf spots which will cause significant yield loss. The most sustainable, economical and
eco-friendly solution for managing peanut ...
Genome wide transcriptome profiling of Fusarium oxysporum f sp. ciceris conidial germination reveals new insights into infection-related genes
Vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc) is a serious disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) accounting for approximately 10–15% annual crop loss. The fungus invades the plant via roots, colonizes ...
Environmental Influences on Pigeonpea-Fusarium udum Interactions and Stability of Genotypes to Fusarium Wilt
Fusarium wilt (Fusarium udum Butler) is an important biotic constraint to pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.) production worldwide. Breeding for fusarium wilt resistance continues to be an integral part of genetic improvement of ...
Identification of molecular markers associated with rust resistance genes in lentil (Lens culinaris sub sp. culinaris)
Lentil rust caused by Uromyces vicia- fabae (Pers.) J. Schroet is the most widespread and economically
important disease in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Morocco. The objective of this study was
to determine the ...
