Genetic Variability of Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) for Water Logging and Salinity Tolerance under in vitro and in vivo Conditions
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) genotypes acquired from diverse sources, were screened for water logging and salinity tolerance under laboratory and field conditions. Analysis of variance revealed significant ...
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 ...
Effect of integrated agronomic practices on hybrids and pure-line varieties under different environmental conditions in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh]
The field experiment was conducted at two locations during kharif 2011 and 2012 at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi
Vidyapeeth (VNMKV), Parbhani, Maharashtra and International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid ...
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 ...
Ex-ante nutrition security impacts of Research and Technology Options for Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
In this report, GLDC technologies were assessed and ranked based on their potential impact on nutrition security. Key findings suggest that in west and central Africa, the technologies with the largest positive impacts on ...
Enhancing the value of genetic resources for use in pigeonpea improvement
The ICRISAT genebank
conserves over 13,700 accessions of
pigeonpea from 74 countries. The collection
serves as insurance against genetic erosion
and provides rich source of diversity for crop
improvement. Pigeonpea ...
Translational Genomics in Agriculture: Some Examples in Grain Legumes
Recent advances in genomics and associated disciplines like
bioinformatics havemade it possible to develop genomic resources, such as large-scale sequence data for any crop species.While these datasets have been proven ...
