Herbicide tolerant, machine-harvestable chickpea, faba bean and lentil varieties
This product line aims at developing and making available to farmers machine harvestable and herbicide tolerant chickpea, lentil and faba bean varieties that are expected to reduce cost of cultivation through labor saving, ...
Gendered aspirations and occupations among rural youth, in agriculture and beyond: A cross-regional perspective
Based on 25 case studies from the global comparative study ‘GENNOVATE: Enabling gender equality in agricultural and environmental innovation’, this paper explores rural young women’s and men’s occupational aspirations and ...
Relevance of limited-transpiration trait for lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) in South Asia
Drought is one of the most important environmental factors that limit crop production. It has been hypothesized that a limited-transpiration trait under high vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a mechanism for water conservation ...
A SSR kit to study genetic diversity in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
A chickpea simple sequence repeat (SSR) marker reference kit has been developed based on the
genotyping of the global chickpea composite collection (3,000 accessions) with 35 SSR markers.
The kit consists of three pools ...
Identification of molecular markers associated with rust resistance genes in lentil (Lens culinaris sub sp. culinaris)
Lentil rust caused by Uromyces vicia- fabae (Pers.) J. Schroet is the most widespread and economically
important disease in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Morocco. The objective of this study was
to determine the ...
Identification and validation of a core set of informative genic SSR and SNP markers for assaying functional diversity in barley
A 'core set' of 28 simple sequence repeat (SSR) and 28 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers for barley was developed after screening six diverse genotypes (DGs) representing six countries (Afghanistan, Pakistan, ...
Improved crop productivity and rural livelihoods through balanced nutrition in the rainfed semi-arid tropics
Diagnostic soil analysis in targeted clusters of eight districts in Andhra Pradesh revealed critical deficiencies of sulphur (61 to 98%),
boron (23 to 98%) and zinc (45 to 85%) in addition to that of soil carbon (25 to ...
Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
Innovation Platform and Convergence
Innovation Platform meeting of stakeholders of CRP-DS project of Vijayapura centre was organized on 17th April, 2015. Pre-season planning interaction meetings with farmers, stakeholder institutions and stakeholder NGO was ...
Relating Trends in Streamflow to Anthropogenic Influences: A Case Study of Himayat Sagar Catchment, India
Catchment development has been identified as a potentially major cause of
streamflow change in many river basins in India. This research aims to understand changes
in the Himayat Sagar catchment (HSC), India, where significant ...
