NO to drought-multifunctional role of nitric oxide in plant drought: Do we have all the answers?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a versatile gaseous signaling molecule with increasing significance in plant research due to its association with various stress responses. Although, improved drought tolerance by NO is associated ...
Exploitation of wild annual Cicer species for widening the gene pool of chickpea cultivars
Introgression of unadapted genes from the wild Cicer species could
contribute to the widening of genetic base of important traits such as
yield, yield attributes and resistance to major biotic and abiotic stresses.
An ...
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 ...
Pigeonpea breeding in eastern and southern Africa: challenges and opportunities
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millspaugh) is an important multipurpose grain legume crop primarily grown in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In Africa, the crop is grown for several purposes ...
Diversity Analysis among Chickpea Genetic Stock as Revealed Through STMS Marker Analysis
Genetic diversity analysis of chickpea germplasm can provide useful information for the selection of parental material and thus help in planning breeding strategies.In the present study, a total of 57 STMS loci were analyzed ...
Genetic analysis for seed size in three crosses of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Seed size (determined by 100-seed weight) is an
important component of trade and yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The present investigation was undertaken to
study the possibility of maternal inheritance for seed ...
A Bayesian Assessment of Productivity and Risks to Achieve target Yields from Improved Chickpea and Mung Bean Varieties Using On-Farm Trials in Afghanistan
Legumes are essential to meet nutrition need of growing population in Afghanistan but have low productivity under the farmer practices. With an aim to introduce improved varieties of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) and mung ...
Chickpea Landraces: A Valuable and Divergent Source for Drought Tolerance
Chickpea incurs heavy yield losses due to terminal heat and drought as it is largely grown under rainfed restricted
irrigated conditions on residual soil moisture. The narrow genetic base among cultivated chickpea accessions ...
Genome-wide conserved non-coding microsatellite (CNMS) marker-based integrative genetical genomics for quantitative dissection of seed weight in chickpea
Phylogenetic footprinting identified 666 genome-wide paralogous and orthologous CNMS (conserved non-coding microsatellite) markers from 5′-untranslated and regulatory regions (URRs) of 603 protein-coding chickpea genes. ...
Performance of herbicide on yield and economic returns of pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp ] in Bihar
The research was carried out during kharif season of 2012-13 to find out the cost-effective weed management practices with
special focus on fine tuning the dose and time of herbicide application,and its impact on growth ...
