Translational Genomics in Agriculture: Some Examples in Grain Legumes
Recent advances in genomics and associated disciplines like
bioinformatics havemade it possible to develop genomic resources, such as large-scale sequence data for any crop species.While these datasets have been proven ...
Assessing the Competitiveness of Smallholders Chickpea Production in the Central Highlands of Ethiopia
Chickpea is an important food legume in Ethiopia which provides sources of livelihood for millions of smallholder farmers. Currently, it has become an important high value crop that promotes commercialization. This study ...
Resequencing of 429 chickpea accessions from 45 countries provides insights into genome diversity, domestication and agronomic traits
We report a map of 4.97 million single-nucleotide polymorphisms of the chickpea from whole-genome resequencing of 429 lines sampled from 45 countries. We identified 122 candidate regions with 204 genes under selection ...
Adoption and impacts of improved chickpea on productivity and food security in Ethiopia
This report analyzed the impact of improved chickpea adoption on productivity and food
security in rural Ethiopia? We estimate the effect of improved chickpea adoption on
productivity with instrumental variable regression. ...
Ethiopian Journal of Crop Science
A Special Volume Dedicated to the 3rd Decadal National Conference on Food and Forage Legumes in Ethiopia 6 - 9 November 2016, EIAR, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. Special Issue , Vol. 6 No. 3 (2018).
Varietal Adoption, Outcomes and Impact
This chapter focuses on the adoption and turnover of cultivars of crops, such as soyabean, maize, pigeon pea, wheat, cassava, rice, potato, barley, yam, groundnut, bean, sorghum, cowpea, pearl millet, chickpea, faba bean, ...
Current status of wilt/root rot diseases in major chickpea growing areas of Ethiopia
Wilt/root rot diseases are a major chickpea production constraint in Ethiopia causing yield losses by reducing the number of plants. To
determine the current status of disease incidence and distribution, surveys were ...
Varietal Generation and Output
This chapter focuses on the improved cultivar generation of various crops (maize, cassava, rice, bean, potato, cowpea, wheat, soyabean, sweet potato, yam, sorghum, groundnut, banana, chickpea, pigeon pea, barley, pearl ...
Correlation and Path Coefficient Analysis for Various Quantitative Traits in Desi Chickpea Genotypes under Rainfed Conditions in Ethiopia
Chickpea is rich in protein and micronutrients and plays a significant role in human diet especially as
accompaniment to staples, but grain yields in Ethiopia are still below the crop potential. Field experiments were
conducted ...
Symbiotic Effectiveness of Elite Rhizobia Strains Nodulating Desi Type Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Varieties
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), is a multi-functional crop with important role in the diet as affordable protein
source and in sustaining soil fertility through nitrogen fixation. However, its productivity in Ethiopia of ...
