QTL identifcation for Ascochyta blight resistance and its application in chickpea breeding
Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Didymella rabiei regularly occurs in epidemic
form causing heavy yield and quality losses, and thus is a major biotic constraint to
chickpea production, particularly in the cool and wet ...
Chickpea yield losses due to Leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina)
Chickpea leaf miner (Liriomyza cicerina R) is one of the main insect pests damaging chickpea (Cicer
arietinum L.) in the Mediterranean region. The surveys carried out in 2014 and 2015 in the regions of
Abda- Doukala, ...
Expanding Chickpea in non-traditional Lowlands of Ethiopia
Frequent drought is affecting the mixed farming and agro-pastoral communities in Ethiopia. In
the Agro-pastoral lowlands, maize, sorghum and common bean are the key crops produced by
famers when rainfall is favorable. ...
Advances, challenges and opportunities in cool-season food legumes in dry area
Cool-season food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean, field pea, and grass pea) are an integral part of subsistence farming in dry areas because these crops are a great source of nutritious food, feed, and income to small ...
Responsiveness of chickpea to climate change
Appropriate changes in the genetic options are needed to cope up with the changing climate and farming
system to ensure food security and sustainable cereal production for the ever growing populations in
developing world. ...
Virulence and molecular diversity within Ascochyta rabiei in Moroccan population and evaluation of genotypic stability on chickpea
Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei Lab.) is an economically important fungal disease on chickpea in Morocco, and in other parts of the world. Significant progress has been made in breeding chickpea for Ascochyta blight ...
Crop breeding for the development of climate resilient crops: Approaches at ICARDA
Crop production has been challenged by abiotic and biotic constraints since its inception. However, the magnitude and intensity of these stresses are increasing dramatically due to climate change causing recurrent droughts, ...
