Strategies for identifying stable lentil cultivars (Lens culinaris Medik) for combating hidden hunger, malnourishment, and climate variability
Iron and zinc malnutrition is a global humanitarian concern that mostly affects newborns, children, and women in low- and middle-income countries where plant-based diets are regularly consumed. This kind of malnutrition ...
Effect of post-emergence herbicide metribuzin application on morpho-physiological traits, yield and yield components in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik)
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important cool season grain legume cultivated extensively in India, Canada, Turkey, Bangladesh, Iran, China, Nepal and Syria. It is the second most important cool season food legume ...
Developing improved varieties of lentil
Lentil is a popular pulse consumed primarily in Asia. It has a protein content of approx. 28% and also contains high amounts of macro- and micro-nutrients. Lentils are cropped under rainfed conditions and on residual/conserved ...
Public private partnership building along the seed value chain to support nature positive seed system development
Partners in Kenya and India along the seed value chain have been engaged for partnership building on seed system development for Nature Positive Solutions.
Genotypic variation in root architectural traits under contrasting phosphorus levels in Mediterranean and Indian origin lentil genotypes
The development of phosphorus-efficient crop cultivars boosts productivity while lowering eutrophication in the environment. It is feasible to improve the efficiency of phosphorus (P) absorption in lentils by enhancing ...
Elucidating genetic variability and genotype × environment interactions for grain iron and zinc content among diverse genotypes of lentils (Lens culinaris)
Micronutrient malnutrition is a great burden towards attaining nutritional security for the vulnerable section of society, especially pregnant and lactating women, as well as preschool children in developing countries. ...
The Lentil Genome – from the sequencer to the field
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris; genome size 4.3 Gb) plays a significant role in supporting
sustainable agriculture worldwide. Its nutrition value has also been recognized as part of the solution to
combat global ...
Identification of phosphorus use efficient germplasm in lentil, chickpea and pigeonpea
The project will engage in the characterization of germplasm for phosphorous uptake and utilization efficiency traits, and mapping genes/QTLs for phosphorous uptake and utilization efficiency traits using association mapping.
