Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning Platform: System Design & Architecture
The present document is designed to be open access and accessible to all stakeholders in order
to increase customization and adaptation of different institutions partners of this initiative. As per
CGIAR Policy8 the ...
Genotype × Environment Interaction and Identification of High Yielding Wheat Genotypes for Afghanistan
Wheat is a key cereal for human consumption in Afghanistan but has low productivity stemmed from various biotic and abiotic stresses and soil factors. To quantify the limitations to yield productivity, two sets of wheat ...
Leaf emergence (phyllochron index) and leaf expansion response to soil drying in cowpea genotypes
Drought can result in severely decreased leaf area development, which impacts plant growth and
yield. However, rarely is leaf emergence or leaf expansion separated to resolve the relative sensitivity
to water-deficit of ...
Identification of new chickpea genetic resources resistant to fusarium wilt under multi-environments
Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) is an important biotic constraint to chickpea production worldwide. Host plant resistance is the most durable and economical way to manage these diseases. Fusarium wilt ...
Identifying Genetic Linkage Groups and Markers for Leaf Miner Resistance in Chickpea through QTL Analysis and Field Validation
Chickpea is a commonly grown crop, but it is vulnerable to biotic and abiotic stresses. Leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina) is a pest that can cause severe yield losses of up to 40% if not properly controlled. This study was ...
Rapid Generation Advancement for Accelerated Plant Improvement
In 2020, more than 800 million people suffered from hunger, and this number will continue to rise as the world’s population increases, in addition to heightening the consequences of climate change and the probability of ...
Identification of New Genetic Resources Under Drought Stress in Response to Roots and Nodules in chickpea
Ten high nodulation and two poor nodulation chickpea genotypes were selected from the previous field experiment to study the effect of drought stress on various nodules, root characteristics, and physiological traits of ...
A Web-based Platform for Enhancing Monitoring, Evaluation and Learning (MEL) in Research for Development - Toward Achieving Development Outcomes
Achieving efficiency in large and complex research for development programs (R4D) is a significant
challenge. In 2015, as a response to the lack of a shared monitoring and evaluation system for CGIAR
Research Programs ...
