The extent of grain yield and plant growth enhancement by plant growth-promoting broad-spectrum Streptomyces sp. in chickpea
The physiological and molecular responses of five strains of Streptomyces sp. (CAI-17, CAI-68, CAI-78, KAI-26 and KAI-27), with their proven potential for charcoal rot disease control in sorghum and plant growth-promotion ...
Evaluation of Feed Resources in Mixed Crop-Livestock Systems in Sudano-Sahelian Zone of Mali in West Africa
Livestock are important assets to the rural poor in developing countries but are faced with the major
challenge of marked seasonal feed availability. A study was carried out to assess existing and potential
feed resources ...
Allelic relationships of flowering time genes in chickpea
Flowering time and crop duration are the most important traits for adaptation of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) to different agro-climatic conditions. Early flowering and early maturity enhance adaptation of chickpea to ...
Selection and Validation of Housekeeping Genes as Reference for Gene Expression Studies in Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) under Heat and Salt Stress Conditions
To identify stable housekeeping genes as a reference for expression analysis under heat and salt stress conditions in pigeonpea, the relative expression variation for 10 commonly used housekeeping genes (EF1α, UBQ10, GAPDH, ...
Genotype × environment interaction and stability of grain yield and selected quality traits in winter wheat in Central Asia
High grain yield and improved quality determine the commercial success of winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) varieties in
Central Asia. This study was conducted to determine the effect of environment on grain yield, ...
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 ...
Priming effect of 13C-labelled wheat straw in no-tillage soil under drying and wetting cycles in the Loess Plateau of China
he objectives of this study were to determine the effects of drying and wetting (DW) cycles on soil organic carbon (SOC) mineralisation and on the priming effect (PE) induced by the addition of 13C-labelled wheat straw to ...
Joint venture Schemes in Limpopo Province and their outcomes on smallholder farmers livelihoods
Joint Venture schemes based on the floppy irrigation technology are being promoted in the post-
Apartheid South Africa's Limpopo Province. Access to land and water resources in South Africa are
largely viewed as a mechanism ...
Commercial behaviours of smallholder farmers in wheat seed use and its implication for demand assessment in Ethiopia
The article presents the commercial behaviour and its determinants of smallholder farmers in wheat seed use, and its implication for seed demand assessment, based on primary data from 524 wheat farmers in the major wheat ...
Conditions for the adoption of conservation agriculture in Central Morocco: an approach based on Bayesian network modelling
Research in Central Morocco, proves that conservation agriculture increases yields, reduces labour requirements, and erosion, and improves soil fertility. However, after nearly two decades of demonstration and advocacy, ...
