Dataset for: Modern potato varietal release information in selected countries in Southeast and South Asia - test today
Seven countries in Southeast Asia which are considered major potato producing areas were selected this study. This study adopts a refined expert elicitation (EE) approach. EE workshops were used as an inexpensive alternative ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1982/83
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
Effect of cooking methods on protein content and neurotoxin (β-ODAP) concentration in grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grains - Efecto de los métodos de cocción sobre el contenido de proteínas y la concentración de neurotoxinas (β-ODAP) en los granos de guisante [chícharo, arveja] (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an important food legume crop but notorious for plant neurotoxin beta-N-Oxalyl-L-alpha, beta-diaminopropionic acid (beta-ODAP), causing neurolathyrism to human and animals. The study aimed ...
Conduct adaptive trials in target sites (locations) in collaboration with NARS
Fifty-seven introgression lines (ILs) that combine early maturity with foliar fungal disease resistance were shared with six national partners, and multi-location evaluation of these ILs in disease hotspots recorded ...
Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
Intercontinental Networks Between Africa and Asia Across the Indian Ocean: What Do Village Chickens Reveal?
The prehistory of the Indian Ocean world can be likened to a complex historical jigsaw puzzle, and has attracted deep interest from various dis- ciplines (Chaudhuri 1985; Pearson 2011). The objective has been to find and ...
Evaluation of heat tolerant chickpea lines for grain yield and other adaptive features under optimal and stress conditions
Eighteen chickpea (Cicerarietinum L.) germplasms (with the standard and local checks) and 2 planting dates were laid on RCBD with three replication in order to be evaluated for grain yield and other adaptive traits. The ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1986/87
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.

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 ...
Demand is quantified for common bean
This objective was completed ahead of schedule, but a summary is presented here. Data on production of pulses and human population suggest that per capita consumption must be declining. This raises critical questions among ...
