Accelerating Genetic Gains in Legumes for the Development of Prosperous Smallholder Agriculture: Integrating Genomics, Phenotyping, Systems Modelling and Agronomy
Grain legumes form an important component of the human diet, provide feed for livestock, and replenish soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation. Globally, the demand for food legumes is increasing as they ...
Pigeonpea improvement: An amalgam of breeding and genomic research
In the past five decades, constant research has been directed towards yield
improvement in pigeonpea resulting in the deployment of several commercially
acceptable cultivars in India. Though, the genesis of hybrid technology, ...
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market-demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes ...
Genetics, genomics and breeding of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Groundnut is an important food and oil crop in the semiarid tropics, contributing to
household food consumption and cash income. In Asia and Africa, yields are low
attributed to various production constraints. This review ...
Morphophysiological diversity of rhizobia nodulating pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan L. Mill) growing in Ethiopia
Pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) is an important protein source grown in several tropical and subtropical
countries, and is considered a multi-purpose plant that is resistant to the conditions where
drought and ...
TL III Progress Report
TL III is a visionary project that aims to improve the lives of smallholder farmers in the target region through enhanced grain legume
productivity and production. It operates under three pillars: (1) Developing improved ...
Impact Assessment of Chickpea Research and Development in Ethiopia
The climatic conditions in Ethiopia make it very suitable for growing chickpeas. Chickpea is widely grown across the highlands and semi-arid regions of Ethiopia and serves as a multi-purpose crop. The country is also ...
Integrated breeding approaches for improving drought andheat adaptation in chickpea (Cicer arietinumL.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a dry season food legume largely grown on residual
soil moisture after the rainy season. The crop often experiences moisture stress
towards end of the crop season (terminal drought). The ...
