Breeding faba bean for resistance to Orobanche spp: past research and future orientation
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the important pulse crops grown in
many parts of the world. Its production and productivity are affected by different
biotic and abiotic stresses. Broomrape (Orobanche and Phelipanche ...
Genetic Variation for Tolerance to Herbicide Imazethapyr in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Identification of lentil genotypes tolerant to post-emergence herbicides and incorporation of herbicide tolerance in to high yielding varieties can prove a boon for developing effective integrated weed management strategy ...
Breeding and genomics status in faba bean (Vicia faba)
Faba bean is an important legume crop because of its high‐yield potential and nutrition‐dense grains. There have been significant achievements in faba bean improvement in the last four decades, which led to the doubling ...
Evidence for genotypic differences among elite lines of common bean in the ability to remobilize photosynthate to increase yield under drought
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume for human consumption. Drought stress is the major abiotic stress limitation of bean yields in smallholder farming systems worldwide. The current work ...
The Impact of International and National Investment in Barley Germplasm Improvement in the Developing Countries
Barley grain is used for animal feed, malt and food for human consumption. Archaeological evidence shows that barley was used in human food several thousand years ago (Bhatty, 1992). Although replaced by wheat and rice in ...
Developing improved varieties of faba bean
Faba bean is an important cool-season food legume crop grown under different cropping systems for dry grain and green pods, animal feed and a green-manure worldwide. It contributes to reduce carbon footprint of cereal based ...
Efficient and sustainable production of faba bean
Faba bean is mainly grown under rain-fed conditions, although irrigated production is important in Egypt, parts of China and Central Asia. China is the leading producer with a wide range of intensive rotation and inter-crop ...
Understanding trends and patterns of production, consumption and trade of pulses within Middle East-North Africa (MENA): implications for research, development and policy within the region
The research community continues to express the concern over a decline in the production of food legumes within the Middle East-North Africa (MENA) region, despite the growth in average consumption. The underpinnings for ...
Wheat Legume Cropping Systems - Final Completion Report
The project, Enhanced Smallholder Wheat-Legume Cropping Systems to Improve Food Security under Changing Climate in the Drylands of WANA, has been effective in its planned objectives.
The overall goal was to contribute to ...
Economic Impact of International and National Lentil Improvement Research in Developing Countries
Lentils, one of humanity’s oldest food crops, originated in the Fertile Crescent of the Near East (Webb and Hawtin, 1981). As a food, lentils provide valuable protein and, unlike several other food legumes, few anti-nutritional ...
