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 ...
Biological control of Botrytis cinerea and plant growth promotion potential by Penicillium citrinum in chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.)
A total of 48 fungi were characterised for their antagonistic potential againstBotrytis cinereacausing Botrytis Gray Mold (BGM) disease in chickpea by dualculture and metabolite production assays. The culture filtrate of ...
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 ...
Soil fertility management demonstration protocol Rainy season 2015
Over exploitation of soil and absence of fallow system expose soil to degradation. In addition climate variability is another threat. Under such conditions use of copping innovation may be the alternative. However in ...
Identification of groundnut genotypes resistant to iron deficiency chlorosis
Groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is the second most
important oilseed in India, which is mainly grown in states like
Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and
Maharashtra. More than one-third of the soils in ...
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 ...
