Mitochondrial SSRs and their utility in distinguishing wild species, CMS lines and maintainer lines in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)
Analysis of the pigeonpea mitochondrial genome sequence identified 25 SSRs. Mononucleotide SSR motifs were the most abundant repeats followed by dinucleotide and trinucleotide repeats. Primer pairs could be designed for 24 ...
Expression of different mechanisms of resistance to insects in groundnut under field conditions
Host plant resistance is an important component of pest management, and information on contribution of different mechanisms of resistance is important for developing cultivars with resistance to the target pests. Therfore, ...
Allelic relationships of flowering time genes in chickpea
Flowering time and crop duration are the most important traits for adaptation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to different agro-climatic conditions. Early flowering and early maturity enhance adaptation of chickpea to ...
Haploids: Constraints and opportunities in plant breeding
The discovery of haploids in higher plants led to the use of doubled haploid (DH) technology in plant breeding. This article provides the state of the art on DH technology including the induction and identification of ...
A genome-scale integrated approach aids in genetic dissection of complex flowering time trait in chickpea
A combinatorial approach of candidate gene-based association analysis and genome-wide association study (GWAS) integrated with QTL mapping, differential gene expression profiling and molecular haplotyping was deployed in ...
Molecular breeding for introgression of fatty acid desaturase mutant alleles (ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B) enhances oil quality in high and low oil containing peanut genotypes
High oleate peanuts have two marketable benefits, health benefits to consumers and extended shelf life of peanut products. Two mutant alleles present on linkage group a09 (ahFAD2A) and b09 (ahFAD2B) control composition of ...
Identification and Evaluation of Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms in Allotetraploid Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) Based on Amplicon Sequencing Combined with High Resolution Melting (HRM) Analysis
The cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an allotetraploid (AABB) species derived from the A-genome (Arachis duranensis) and B-genome (Arachis ipaensis) progenitors. Presence of two versions of a DNA sequence based ...
Strategies for breeding, production and promotion of pigeonpea hybrids in India
With the release of GTH-1 the world’s first CMS hybrid in
pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.], the breeding of
hybrids in this important pulse crop has become a reality. At present three early duration pigeonpea hybrids ...
Mechanism of water-logging tolerance in pigeonpea
A study was undertaken to identify the morphophysiological
traits associated with water-logging tolerance in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan L. (Millsp.)].The formation of
aerenchyma cells, lenticels, and adventitious roots in ...
Combining ability studies of pigeonpea CGMS lines with an obcordate leaf marker
Hybrid pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] breeding technology based on CGMS was recently developed. A program was initiated to track the purity of female parental lines by incorporating an obcordate leaf shape marker ...
