Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of peanut cultivars and breeding lines from China, India and the US using simple sequence repeat markers
Cultivated peanut is grown worldwide as richsource
of oil and protein. A broad genetic base is needed for
cultivar improvement. The objectives of this study were to
develop highly informative simple sequence repeat ...
Food legume production in China
Food legumes comprise all legumes grown for human food in China as either dry grains or
vegetables, except for soybean and groundnut. China has a vast territory with complex
ecological conditions. Rotation, intercropping, ...

Transcriptomewide sequencing provides insights into geocarpy in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
A characteristic feature of peanut is the subterranean fructification, geocarpy, in which the
gynophore (‘peg’), a specialized organ that transitions from upward growth habit to
downward outgrowth upon fertilization, drives ...
The Impact of International and National Investment in Barley Germplasm Improvement in the Developing Countries
Barley grain is used for animal feed, malt and food for human consumption. Archaeological evidence shows that barley was used in human food several thousand years ago (Bhatty, 1992). Although replaced by wheat and rice in ...
Mapping paddy rice planting area in northeastern Asia with Landsat 8 images, phenology-based algorithm and Google Earth Engine
Area and spatial distribution information of paddy rice are important for understanding of food security, water use, greenhouse gas emission, and disease transmission. Due to climatic warming and increasing food demand, ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
Economic Impact of International and National Lentil Improvement Research in Developing Countries
Lentils, one of humanity’s oldest food crops, originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East (Webb and Hawtin, 1981). As a food, lentils provide valuable protein and, unlike several other food legumes, few anti-nutritional ...
Effect of post-emergence herbicide metribuzin application on morpho-physiological traits, yield and yield components in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik)
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important cool season grain legume cultivated extensively in India, Canada, Turkey, Bangladesh, Iran, China, Nepal and Syria. It is the second most important cool season food legume ...
