Herbicide tolerant, machine-harvestable chickpea, faba bean and lentil varieties
This product line aims at developing and making available to farmers machine harvestable and herbicide tolerant chickpea, lentil and faba bean varieties that are expected to reduce cost of cultivation through labor saving, ...
Assessment of field pea (Pisum sativum L.) grain yield, aerial biomass and flowering date stability in Mediterranean environments
Mediterranean environments are of most interest to study pea adaptability to terminal drought conditions especially in the current context of global climate change. In our work we have tested nine pea cultivars in five ...
Upgrade of LeasyScan platform (load cells equipment)
In 2014 the first phase of the LeasyScan platform was put in place, consisting of the scanning technology to assess leaf canopy development features, together with a prototype of 50 load cells to measure plant transpiration ...
Nutritional alterations and damages to stored chickpea in relation with the pest status of Callosobruchus maculatus (Chrysomelidae)
The identification of substitute products for the replacement of wheat flours for paste and bread is a strategy which may help to overcome the wheat yield problems and to meet the huge consumption rates in Tunisia. In this ...
Multi environment evaluation of chickpea disease nurseries (wilt, Aschochyta blight and Botrytis grey mold) to identify stable and new sources of resistance
Under the ICRISAT- ICAR collaboration, disease nurseries of wilt (ICWN), AB (IABN) and BGM (IBGMN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated at different locations (hot spots) ...
Conduct adaptive trials in target sites (locations) in collaboration with NARS
Fifty-seven introgression lines (ILs) that combine early maturity with foliar fungal disease resistance were shared with six national partners, and multi-location evaluation of these ILs in disease hotspots recorded ...
Leaf Gas Exchange Measurements
Three soybean varieties with varying maturity duration were planted in two agro-ecologies in Mozambique: Ruace, (15.2355o S, 36.6886o E), Zambezia province and Muriaze (15.2729o S, 39.3173o E), Nampula province to understand ...
Re-sequencing of Foc isolates representing races to understand the pathogenicity mechanism
Total 56 isolates of Foc representing different races and locations in India where chickpea is grown has been used for the re-sequencing study. Raw data was subjected to filtration and correction steps using Trimmomatic ...
Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
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 ...
