Morpho-biochemical characterization of a RIL population for seed parameters and identification of candidate genes regulating seed size trait in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
The seed size and shape in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) are important quality traits as these influences the milled grain yield, cooking time, and market class of the grains. Linkage analysis was done for seed size in a ...
Genotype by Environment Interaction Effect on Grain Iron and Zinc Concentration of Indian and Mediterranean Lentil Genotypes
Lentil grains with high nutritional value qualify as a promising candidate for alleviation
of micronutrient malnutrition in South Asia and North Africa. Genetic variation for micronutrient
concentration in germplasm is ...
Use of expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for exploring genetic diversity in lentil and related wild species
Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were used to analyse genetic diversity among three Lens species. The SSR loci amplified successfully in wild species, with 94·82% transferability in Lens ...
Inheritance and linkage relationships of days to flower and morphological loci in lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris)
Lentils from south Asia differ markedly in days to flower and several other traits from lentils in other major lentil producing areas of the world such as west Asia. Single-gene inheritance and a polygenic system were ...
Genetic Diversity in Lens Species Revealed by EST and Genomic Simple Sequence Repeat Analysis
Low productivity of pilosae type lentils grown in South Asia is attributed to narrow genetic
base of the released cultivars which results in susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses.
For enhancement of productivity ...
Association mapping unveils favorable alleles for grain iron and zinc concentrations in lentil (Lens culinaris subsp. culinaris)
Lentil is a major cool-season grain legume grown in South Asia, West Asia, and North Africa. Populations in developing countries of these regions have micronutrient deficiencies; therefore, breeding programs should focus ...
Molecular diversity and population structure of the Ethiopian lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) genotype assessment using SSR markers
Knowledge of genetic diversity in germplasm is essential for formulating effective germplasm collection, conservation, utilization strategies in and crop improvement programs. It also provides an opportunity to take ...
A bottleneck in lentil: widening its genetic base in South Asia
This paper introduces the concept of a bottleneck in lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) in South Asia and then reviews its rupture. South Asia is the largest lentil growing region in the world and where indigenous lentils ...
Development of Lentil Cultivar with High Concentration of Iron and Zinc Final Technical Report
Fe and Zn analysis of new genetic materials will be carried out (approx. 200 accessions)
New crosses will be commissioned between High and High content parents for both Fe and Zn. Primary, intermediate products will be ...
Microsatellite marker-based genetic diversity analysis of elite lentil lines differing in grain iron and zinc concentration
Trial comprising fifty lentil genotypes was con- ducted at three locations in India during year 2013–2014 for estimation of grain Fe and Zn concentrations and to analyze G 9 E interactions by employing the additive main ...
