InDel markers: An extended marker resource for molecular breeding in chickpea
Chickpea is one of the most important food legumes that holds the key to meet rising global food and nutritional demand. In order to deploy molecular breeding approaches in crop improvement programs, user friendly and cost ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1978/79
This report summarises the data received from scientists who cooperate with the food legume improvement (FLIP) at ICARDA, for the 1978/79 crop season on replicated yield trials,non-replicated screening, and disease nurseries ...
Drought tolerance in chickpea and lentil – present status and future strategies
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik. subsp. culinaris) are important cool-season food legumes globally. These crops encounter numerous biotic and abiotic stresses among which drought is the most ...
Photoperiod Response of Annual Wild Species and Cultivated Chickpea on Phenology, Growth, and Yield Traits
Frequent utilization of wild Cicer species in
chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) improvement
programs, as well as the regeneration of these
wild species for efficient conservation in genebanks,
is hindered due to photoperiod ...
Consultants' Meeting on Uses of Grain Legumes
The purpose of holding the Consultants' Meeting on Uses of Grain Legumes is to discuss the current utilization aspects of grains. of chickpea (Cicer arietinum), pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), and ground nut (Arachis hypogea) ...
A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market-demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes ...
Studies on dry root rot[Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler] of Chickpea(Cicer arietinum L.)
Dry root rot caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola (Taub.) Butler [Pycnidial stage: Macrophomina phaseolina (Tassi) Goid] is a soil borne fungal pathogen. Keeping in view the importance of the disease due to change in climatic ...
Integrated transcriptome, small RNA and degradome sequencing approaches provide insights into Ascochyta blight resistance in chickpea
Ascochyta blight (AB) is one of the major biotic stresses known to limit the chickpea production worldwide. To dissect the complex mechanisms of AB resistance in chickpea, three approaches,namely, transcriptome, small RNA ...
Caravan 26: Science for Food Security
This issue of Caravan illustrates this continuum approach. It describes some of ICARDA’s strategic research — the use of new tools such as GIS, molecular markers and thermographic imaging, and new
research methods in ...
ICARDA Annual Report 1989
ICARDA's major challenge is to realize sustainable advances in agricultural production in an environment of extremely variable climatic conditions. The past two seasons provided ample illustration of this spatial and ...
