Testing the GLDC scaling framework: Design, Performance, and Gaps
Accelerating the adoption of new technology – improved varieties and management practices – by smallholders remains a challenge for agricultural research and extension systems, particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. The ...
Integrated cultural management on the yield and yield traits of pigeonpea hybrids and varieties
Six pigeonpea genotypes of medium duration hybrids (ICPH 2671, ICPH 2740 and ICPH 3762) and varieties (BDN 711, BSMR 736 and Asha) were evaluated applying different integrated agronomic approaches for the various yield and ...
Multi-environment field testing to identify broad, stable resistance to sterility mosaic disease of pigeonpea
Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) caused by Pigeonpea sterility mosaic virus and vectored by the eriophyid mite is a serious disease of pigeonpea in almost all pigeonpea-growing areas. Managing the disease with chemicals such ...
Cross-coordination with Sub-Regional Organizations to Maximize Scale and Impact
The CRP-GLDC will benefit end users and create economic opportunities through contracts and partnerships with Sub-Regional Organizations (SROs). While GLDC’s target countries are limited, benefits from Flagship Program ...
Mitochondrial SSRs and their utility in distinguishing wild species, CMS lines and maintainer lines in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)
Analysis of the pigeonpea mitochondrial genome sequence identified 25 SSRs. Mononucleotide SSR motifs were the most abundant repeats followed by dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeats. Primer pairs could be designed for 24 ...
Baseline values for GLDC crops in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia
Datasets to update baseline values in the International Model for the Policy Analysis of Agricultural Commodities and Trade (IMPACT) for GLDC crops in sub-Saharan Africa and southern Asia
Molecular diversity based heterotic groups in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]
A set of 155 hybrid parents was characterized at molecular
level using 24 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers.The
number of alleles amplified ranged from 3 to 41 at an average
of 14.5 alleles per marker and mean ...
Priority Setting, Product Lines and Prospective Technologies: Implications from Phase I for a Consolidated Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals CRP for Phase II
In moving to Phase II, the Dryland Cereals, Grain Legumes, and Dryland Systems multicenter CGIAR Research Programs (CRPs) are to be consolidated into a Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals CRP. This report assesses the ...
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 ...
