Identification of quantitative trait loci for yield and yield related traits in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) under different water regimes in Niger and Senegal
Yield under drought stress is a highly complex trait with large influence to even a minor fluctuation in the environmental conditions. Genomics-assisted breeding holds great promise for improving such complex traits more ...
Genetic mapping of QTLs controlling fatty acids provided insights into the genetic control of fatty acid synthesis pathway in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.).
Peanut, a high-oil crop with about 50% oil content, is either crushed for oil or used as edible products. Fatty acid composition determines the oil quality which has high relevance to consumer health, flavor, and shelf ...
Prioritization of candidate genes in “QTL-hotspot” region for drought tolerance in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
A combination of two approaches, namely QTL analysis and gene enrichment analysis were used
to identify candidate genes in the “QTL-hotspot” region for drought tolerance present on the Ca4
pseudomolecule in chickpea. In ...
Evaluation of Streptomyces sp. obtained from herbal vermicompost for broad spectrum of plant growth-promoting activities in chickpea
Five strains of Streptomyces sp. (CAI-24, CAI-121, CAI-127, KAI-32, and KAI-90; demonstrated previously to have potential for control of Fusarium wilt disease in chickpea and plant growth promotion [PGP] in rice) were ...
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 ...
Imputation of single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes in biparental, backcross, and topcross populations with a hidden Markov model
Genomic selection offers great potential to increase the rate of genetic improvement in plant breeding programs. The ability to accurately impute missing genotypes for a large number of individuals, screened with low marker ...
Evaluation of Broad-Spectrum Streptomyces sp. for Plant Growth Promotion Traits in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
The study evaluated three strains of Streptomyces (CAI-21, CAI-26 and MMA-32) for their plant
growth promoting (PGP) traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under field conditions in two
consecutive post-rainy seasons, ...
Marker-trait association study for protein content in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second most important cool season food legume cultivated in arid and semiarid regions
of the world. The objective of the present study was to study variation for protein content in ...
Association of mid-reproductive stage canopy temperature depression with the molecular markers and grain yields of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm under terminal drought
Canopy temperature depression (CTD) has been used to estimate crop yield and drought tolerance. However, when to measure CTD for the best breeding selection efficacy has seldom been addressed. The objectives of this study ...
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 ...
