Technological perspectives for plant breeding
New Breeding Technologies? For some, both inside and outside
the scientific community, this phrase is synonymous
with gene editing—or used exclusively to describe the
application of CRISPR/Cas9 to plant improvement. Much
as, ...
Identification of two major quantitative trait locus for fresh seed dormancy using the diversity arrays technology and diversity arrays technology-seq based genetic map in Spanish-type peanuts
Seed quality for both germination in the next generation and for human
consumption is adversely affected due to preharvest sprouting in peanut.
It also makes seeds more vulnerable to infection by a number of pathogens.
Therefore, ...
Conservation agriculture for improving water productivity in Vertisols of semi-arid tropics
Large variability and uncertainty of rainfall are the
main limiting factors for crop growth in rainfed agriculture.
Agriculture water management interventions
are considered as suitable adoption strategy to enhance
crop ...
Host plant resistance to insect pests in pigeonpea: Potential and limitations
Host plant resistance to insects is one of the components of pest management in pigeonpea. Considerable progress has been made in developing techniques to screen for resistance to Helicoverpa armigera. However, some of ...
Effective use of water and increased dry matter partitioned to grain contribute to yield of common bean improved for drought resistance
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop. Identification of traits associated with drought resistance ...
Effects of conservation agriculture on crop productivity and water-use efficiency under an irrigated pigeonpea – wheat cropping system in the western Indo-Gangetic Plains
In search of a suitable resource conservation technology under pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.)–wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) system in the Indo-Gangetic Plains, the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) on crop productivity ...
Effect of grass reseeding on dry matter production and species composition of a community rangeland in Jodhpur, Rajasthan
The study was conducted on a community rangeland in Ajeetnagar, Bawarli, Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India from 2015 to 2017. The objective was to investigate the effect of reseeding and soil depth on plant biomass production, ...
