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, ...
Candidate genes identified for Ascochyta blight in chickpea, aflatoxin contamination in groundnut, populations advanced for phytophtora blight in pigeonpea, MAGIC population advanced and genotyped in groundnut
A mixture of fungal cultures of A. rabiei pathotypes (pathotypes I, II, and III) obtained from the Legume Pathology Laboratory at ICARDA was used to screen the RIL population. The experiment was laid out in Alpha Lattice ...
Individual and combined effects of selenium and silica on enhancing the heat tolerance of lentil (Lens culinarisMedik.) genotypes
A serious threat across the world is the environmental stress that affects plant growth and development. To maintain crop growth and yield during stressful environment, various strategies are being evaluated to induce ...
Markers linked to salinty, cold and drought tolernace in chickpea
This milestone employed the Focused Identification of Germplasm Strategy (FIGS) which use the Geographical Information System (GIS) for improving the probability and frequency of predicting chickpea accessions relying on ...
Biodiversity and varietal development of pulses in South Asia
South Asia (Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses with 28% and 38% share in global production and acreage. The present ...
Herbicide tolerance Faba bean, chickpea and lentils
The research aimed to screen faba bean, Chickpea and lentils to diverse herbicides. 50 lentil genotypes were screened to Imizathapyr and Metribuzin; 226 Chickpea lines screened to Imizathapyr and Metribuzin, among them 100 ...
Evaluation of segregating populations for inheritance studies
Lentil: 179 single crosses were successful and advanced in Summer season at Terbol (Attachment: MEL-F03). Based on parental traits, only 35 F1s carried forward for further evaluation as F2 populations in Winter season. At ...
A chickpea genetic variation map based on the sequencing of 3,366 genomes
Zero hunger and good health could be realized by 2030 through effective conservation, characterization and utilization of germplasm resources1. So far, few chickpea (Cicer arietinum) germplasm accessions have been characterized ...
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 ...
Lentils (Lens culinaris L.), a Rich Source of Folates
The potential for genetic biofortification of U.S.-grown lentils (Lens culinaris L.) with bioavailable folate has not
been widely studied. The objectives of this study were (1) to determine the folate concentration of 10 ...
