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, ...
Breeding strategies to improve lentil for diverse agro-ecological environments
Lentil is an important cool season pulse crops and it is cultivated world-wide in diverse agro ecological conditions. Several varieties have been developed adopting conventional breeding methodologies. Significant ...
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 ...
Effect of drought, heat and their interaction on the growth, yield and photosynthetic function of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) genotypes varying in heat and drought sensitivity
Rising temperatures and drought stress limit the growth and production potential of lentil (Lens culinarisMedikus), particularly during reproductive growth and seed filling. The present study aimed to (i) investigate the ...
Selecting Lentil Accessions for Global Selenium Biofortification
The biofortification of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus.) has the potential to provide adequate daily selenium (Se) to human diets. The objectives of this study were to (1) determine how low-dose Se fertilizer application ...
Seed Info No. 53
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Opportunities to improve the seasonal dynamics of water use in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) to enhance yield increase in water‑limited environments
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is one of the most important annual food legumes that plays an important role in the food and nutritional security of millions in the world. Lentil is mainly grown under rainfed environments, ...
Orobanche resistance in faba bean and lentil
In order to identify resistance sources, 216 lentil and 194 faba bean elite lines and 280 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of a faba bean cross (BPL710 x ILB4347) were screened against Orobanche crenata in a
sick plot at ...
Candidate genes for flowering time in lentil
Study showed high heritability estimate (h2=0.82) for flowering time in lentil. Molecular diversity analysis with 75 polymorphic SSR markers resulted in amplification of 266 loci with 1-3 loci per marker. Model-based cluster ...
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 ...
