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 ...
Narrative experimental releases of parasitoids Benin and Burkina Faso
In Benin, we released some 60’100 adult parasitic wasp (30’300 Therophilus javanus and 29’800 Phanerotoma syleptae) which work in synergy by having two different modes of action, one being an ovo-larval parasitoid, and the ...
What role for legumes in sustainable intensification? – case studies in Western Kenya and Northern Ghana for PROIntensAfrica
N2Africa was selected as a case study within the PROIntensAfrica initiative. In this case study, N2Africa focused on the potential role of legumes in sustainable intensification. The case study was conducted in two of the ...
Virulence profiling of F. udum isolates to understand the current status of race/pathotypes prevalent in major pigeonpea growing areas in India
Out of 111 isolates, total 67 isolates were selected for virulence profiling based on geographical location, pathogenicity, cultural and morphological characters. The F. udum isolates represented 38 districts belonging to ...
Chickpea lines screened for resistance to Leafminer and pod borer
High infestation by leaf miner was observed this year. Two accessions (IG 125018 and IG 125032) confirmed resistance to leaf miner with rating of 3 in the 1-9 visual damage score (VDS). Four others lines showed moderate ...
Quantification of Foc colonization through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
The chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 were grown in open top chambers at different CO2 concentrations [ambient (~380 ppm) and elevated ( 550 ppm and 700 ppm). Seven day old seedlings were ...
Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
QDS of bush beans is established as a viable alternative to certified seed
In collaboration with local seed service, development partners organizations (Dos) e.g. NGOs/farmers organizations and public extension were enabled by PABRA members to select farmers who are able to produce and market ...
Repeat assessment of CSSL of peanut (introgression of AixAd into cultivated Fleur11) in Lysimeters and LeasyScan, and analysis of the multiyear data
Transpiration efficiency (TE) measurements were carried out in a lysimetric system, which has been described in many papers by the group (see Vadez et al., 2014). In short, groundnut plants were grown in 1.2-m length and ...
