Component traits of plant water use are modulated by vapour pressure deficit in pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R.Br.)
Traits influencing plant water use eventually define the fitness of genotypes for specific rainfall environments.
Weassessed the response of several water use traits to vapour pressure deficit (VPD) in pearl millet (Pennisetum ...
Plant growth-promotion by Streptomyces spp. in sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L.)
Seven strains of Streptomyces spp.: BCA-546 (KF770898), BCA-659 (KF770889), BCA-667 (KF770888),
BCA-689 (KF770899), BCA-698 (KF770900), CAI-133 (KF770895) and CAI-8 (KF770890), reported earlier
to produce biocontrol and ...
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 ...
ICRISAT, India soils: yesterday, today and tomorrow
Associated red and black soils are common in the Deccan
plateau and the Indian peninsula. The red soils
are formed due to the progressive landscape reduction
process and black soils due to the aggradation processes;
and ...
Heterosis and Inbreeding Depression in Tropical Sweet Sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
An investigation carried out during two seasons viz., rainy 2009
and rainy 2010 to study heterosis and inbreeding depression of
four crosses of sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench)
and their F2 have revealed positive ...
Mapping rice-fallow cropland areas for shortseason grain legumes intensification in South Asia using MODIS 250 m time-series data
The goal of this study was to map rainfed and irrigated rice-fallow cropland
areas across South Asia, using MODIS 250 m time-series data and identify
where the farming system may be intensified by the inclusion of a ...
Land use and cropping effects on carbon in black soils of semi-arid tropical India
Soil organic carbon (SOC) and rainfall are generally
positively related, whereas a negative relationship
between soil inorganic carbon (SIC) and rainfall with
some exception is observed. Land use pattern in black
soil ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Characterization of potential probiotic bacteria isolated from sorghum and pearl millet of the semi-arid tropics
The present study was conducted to isolate and characterize probiotic properties of bacteria isolated
from flour and batter samples of sorghum and pearl millet. A total of five different selective media
including plate ...
Georeferenced soil information system: assessment of database
Landuse
planning is a decisionmaking
process that facilitates the allocation of land to different uses that provide optimal and
sustainable benefit. As landuse
is shaped by society–nature interaction, in landuse
planning ...
