Expression of different mechanisms of resistance to insects in groundnut under field conditions
Host plant resistance is an important component of pest management, and information on contribution of different mechanisms of resistance is important for developing cultivars with resistance to the target pests. Therfore, ...
Molecular breeding for introgression of fatty acid desaturase mutant alleles (ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B) enhances oil quality in high and low oil containing peanut genotypes
High oleate peanuts have two marketable benefits, health benefits to consumers and extended shelf life of peanut products. Two mutant alleles present on linkage group a09 (ahFAD2A) and b09 (ahFAD2B) control composition of ...
Validation of markers linked to late leaf spot and rust resistance, and selection of superior genotypes among diverse recombinant inbred lines and backcross lines in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from four populations involving cultivated varieties, and backcross lines from three populations involving cultivated varieties and synthetic tetraploids (developed from wild diploids) were ...
Screening of groundnut interspecific derivatives for resistance to Sclerotium rolfsii
Sclerotium rolfsii is a major constraint for production in most of the groundnut growing areas in India
inflicting 28-30 per cent yield losses annually. Irrigated groundnut grown in the post-rainy and summer
seasons in ...
Yield loss Modeling for late Leafspot and Rust in Groundnut
Late leaf spot and rust diseases occur together and cause considerable yield loss in groundnut.
Cultivation of resistant varieties is the best strategy to stabilize productivity under disease epidemics.
Several varieties ...
Development of Genomic Microsatellite Markers in Carthamus tinctorius L. (Safflower) Using Next Generation Sequencing and Assessment of Their Cross-Species Transferability and Utility for Diversity Analysis
Background
Safflower (Carthamus tinctorius L.), an Asteraceae member, yields high quality edible oil rich in unsaturated fatty acids and is resilient to dry conditions. The crop holds tremendous potential for improvement ...
Analytical and Decision Support Tools for Genomics-Assisted Breeding
To successfully implement genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) in crop improvement programs, efficient and effective analytical and decision support tools (ADSTs) are ‘must haves’ to evaluate and select plants for developing ...
Evaluation of Bush and Climbing Beans under different Cropping Systems and Nutrient Management Regimes in Linthipe and Kandeu, Malawi
CIAT is undertaking action research based on mother-bay approach in Linthipe and Kandeu, in the Dedza and Ntcheu districts of Malawi, respectively. The overall aim is to improve bean production through introduction of ...
The AVRDC – The World Vegetable Center mungbean (Vigna radiata) core and mini core collections
Background Large ex situ germplasm collections generally harbor a wide range of crop diversity. AVRDC – The World Vegetable Center is holding in trust the world’s second largest mungbean (Vigna radiata) germplasm collection ...
Resistance to foliar diseases in a Mini-core Collection of Sorghum Germplasm
Anthracnose, leaf blight and rust are important biotic constraints to grain and forage
sorghum production worldwide and are best managed through host plant resistance. A
sorghum mini-core collection, consisting of 242 ...
