Orobanche resistance in faba bean and lentil
In order to identify resistance sources, 216 lentil and 194 faba bean elite lines and 280 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of a faba bean cross (BPL710 x ILB4347) were screened against Orobanche crenata in a
sick plot at ...
Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
Pulses: an integral component of mitigation and adaptation under climate change
Modern agriculture is facing with great challenges. Growing world population will cause a "perfect storm" of food, energy and water shortages by 2050. Demand for food and energy will jump 70% and 100%, and for fresh water ...
Advances, challenges and opportunities in cool-season food legumes in dry area
Cool-season food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean, field pea, and grass pea) are an integral part of subsistence farming in dry areas because these crops are a great source of nutritious food, feed, and income to small ...
Status and prospects of food legumes improvement in Morocco
In Morocco, faba bean, chickpea and lentil are being grown under rainfed
conditions and play an important role in cereal-based cropping systems. Food
legumes improve soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation and ...
Advances, Challenges and Opportunities in Cool Season Food Legumes in Dry Areas
Cool-season food legumes (CSFL) such as chickpea, lentil, faba bean, field pea, and grass pea are an integral part of subsistence farming in dry areas and the major sources of nutritious food for human, feed for livestock, ...
Crop breeding for the development of climate resilient crops: Approaches at ICARDA
Crop production has been challenged by abiotic and biotic constraints since its inception. However, the magnitude and intensity of these stresses are increasing dramatically due to climate change causing recurrent droughts, ...
