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 ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
Of the various environmental stresses that a
plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most
far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes,
both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...
Genetic options for combating biotic stresses in cool-season food legumes
Cool-season food legumes, mainly faba bean (Vicia faba), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), field pea (Pisum sativum), lentil (Lens culinaris) and grass pea (Lathyrus sativus), are economically and ecologically important crops ...
Exciting journey of 10 years from genomes to fields and markets: Some success stories of genomics-assisted breeding in chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut
Legume crops such as chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnut, mostly grown in marginal environments, are
the major source of nutrition and protein to the human population in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. These
crops, however, ...
Multiple post-domestication origins of kabuli chickpea through allelic variation in a diversification-associated transcription factor
Crop domestication and subsequent diversification represent adaptations to humanbuilt
environments and offer insights into the
evolutionary forces that shape phenotypic diversity. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum), a widely ...
