Does tillage should be an evaluation factor in the breeding program for major cereal and legume crops ?
Conservation agriculture practices are becoming more important in rainfed drylands due to its potential to minimize climatic risk, reduce soil erosion and improve soil quality and water availability. Due to minimum disturbance ...
Contrasting genetic variation amongst lentil landraces from different geographical origins
Lentil landraces from South Asia exhibit a low diversity and discordance with landraces from other countries according to a combination of qualitative and quantitative agromorphological characters. They exhibit specific ...
Legume Cookbook: Cooking with Chickpeas, Faba Beans and Lentils
For many generations, both ordinary and imaginative cooks have created tasty dishes featuring chickpeas, faba beans, and lentils. An excellent source of protein and other nutrients, these versatile legumes are staple foods ...
Rainfall and temperature effects on lentil (Lens culinaris) seed yield in Mediterranean environments
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is a rain-fed crop in North Africa and West Asia whose yields are limited by the amount and distribution of rainfall and winter cold. This study aimed to quantify the effects of climatic ...
Iron deficiency in lentil: Yield loss and geographic distribution in a germplasm collection
Iron deficiency symptoms are observed on some genotypes of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) grown in calcareous soil. A germplasm collection of 3512 accessions originating from 18 countries was characterized for iron ...
Morpho-biochemical characterization of a RIL population for seed parameters and identification of candidate genes regulating seed size trait in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
The seed size and shape in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) are important quality traits as these influences the milled grain yield, cooking time, and market class of the grains. Linkage analysis was done for seed size in a ...
QTL Mapping of Winter Hardiness Genes in Lentil
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm with sufficient winter hardiness to survive most winters in cold northern areas is available. However, the use of that germplasm in breeding programs is hampered by variable winter ...
Breeding strategies to improve lentil for diverse agro-ecological environments
Lentil is an important cool season pulse crops and it is cultivated world-wide in diverse agro ecological conditions. Several varieties have been developed adopting conventional breeding methodologies. Significant ...
Collaborative Scientific Research Program: Results of Joint Agricultural Research 1987/88 Season (Abstracts)- برنامج التعاون العلمي المشترك: نتائج البحوث المشتركة المنفذة موسم 1987/88 (ملخصات)
The results obtained by the researchers working on the improvement of wheat, barley, faba bean, lentil, chickpea, forage and pasture crops, verification trials, disease and insect control, as well as the results of ...
Quantitave evaluation of Ethiopian landraces of lentil (Lens culinaris)
One hundred and fifty-six landrace populations of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) collected from 10 provinces in Ethiopia were evaluated for a set of six quantitative traits at three sites contrasting in altitude. Consistent ...
