Exploitation of wild annual Cicer species for widening the gene pool of chickpea cultivars
Introgression of unadapted genes from the wild Cicer species could
contribute to the widening of genetic base of important traits such as
yield, yield attributes and resistance to major biotic and abiotic stresses.
An ...
Identification and allelic variation of drought responsive dehydrin gene based on sequence similarity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an economically important food legume grown in arid
and semi-arid regions of the world. Chickpea is cultivated mainly in the rainfed, residual
moisture, and restricted irrigation condition. ...
Comparative Agronomy Performance and Reaction to Fusarium Wilt of Lens culinaris X L. orientalis and L. culinaris X L. ervoides derivatives.
The development of transgressive phenotype in the segregating populations has been speculated to contribute to niche divergence of hybrid lineages, which occurs most frequently at larger genetic distances. Wild Lens species ...
Identification and characterization of novel penta-podded genotypes in the cultivated lentil
Our study reports the identification of two novel multi-flowering (MF) genotypes,
PMF-1 and PMF-2, in cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), stably
forming up to five flowers per peduncle (FPP) on I2 nodes at multiple ...
Variation in P-acquisition ability and acid phosphatase activity at the early vegetative stage of lentil and their validation on P-deficiency field
Plant available phosphorus (P) is limited in the vast rice-fallow areas where the soil is mainly acidic. Screening of fifty lentil genotypes in soil cylinder filled with solid-phase P-buffer identified genotypes with high ...
Wild Lentils: Treasure of Novel Diversity
The cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris ssp.
culinaris) is an annual herbaceous self pollinating true diploid (2n=2x=14) species
with an estimated genome size of 4063
Mbp/C (Arumuganathan and Earle, 1991).
The crop is ...
Evaluation and identification of wild lentil accessions for enhancing genetic gains of cultivated varieties
Domesticated lentil has a relatively narrow genetic base globally and most released varieties
are susceptible to severe biotic and abiotic stresses. The crop wild relatives could provide
new traits of interest for tailoring ...
Genotypic variation in root architectural traits under contrasting phosphorus levels in Mediterranean and Indian origin lentil genotypes
The development of phosphorus-efficient crop cultivars boosts productivity while lowering eutrophication in the environment. It is feasible to improve the efficiency of phosphorus (P) absorption in lentils by enhancing ...
