Identification of molecular markers associated with rust resistance genes in lentil (Lens culinaris sub sp. culinaris)
Lentil rust caused by Uromyces vicia- fabae (Pers.) J. Schroet is the most widespread and economically
important disease in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Morocco. The objective of this study was
to determine the ...
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 ...
Assessing the genetic diversity of 48 groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) genotypes in the Guinea savanna agro-ecology of Ghana, using microsatellite-based markers
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the most important grain legume in Ghana. However, its production
is constrained by a myriad of biotic and abiotic stresses which necessitate the development and use of
superior varieties ...
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 ...
CicArVarDB: SNP and InDel database for advancing genetics research and breeding applications in chickpea
Molecular markers are valuable tools for breeders to help accelerate crop improvement. High throughput sequencing technologies facilitate the discovery of large-scale variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Response of Groundnut to Plant Density and Phosphorous Application in the Sudan Savanna Zone of Nigeria
Despite the recent release of several improved varieties of groundnut in Nigeria the productivities have not
increase significantly due to lack of commensurate recommendation in agronomic practices. Two groundnut
varieties ...
