Imputation of single nucleotide polymorphism genotypes in biparental, backcross, and topcross populations with a hidden Markov model
Genomic selection offers great potential to increase the rate of genetic improvement in plant breeding programs. The ability to accurately impute missing genotypes for a large number of individuals, screened with low marker ...
Evaluation of Broad-Spectrum Streptomyces sp. for Plant Growth Promotion Traits in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
The study evaluated three strains of Streptomyces (CAI-21, CAI-26 and MMA-32) for their plant
growth promoting (PGP) traits in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) under field conditions in two
consecutive post-rainy seasons, ...
Marker-trait association study for protein content in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second most important cool season food legume cultivated in arid and semiarid regions
of the world. The objective of the present study was to study variation for protein content in ...
Genome-wide insertion–deletion (InDel) marker discovery and genotyping for genomics-assisted breeding applications in chickpea
We developed 21,499 genome-wide insertion–deletion (InDel) markers (2- to 54-bp in silico fragment length polymorphism) by comparing the genomic sequences of four (desi, kabuli and wild C. reticulatum) chickpea [Cicer ...
Association of mid-reproductive stage canopy temperature depression with the molecular markers and grain yields of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) germplasm under terminal drought
Canopy temperature depression (CTD) has been used to estimate crop yield and drought tolerance. However, when to measure CTD for the best breeding selection efficacy has seldom been addressed. The objectives of this study ...
Plant growth-promoting traits of Pseudomonas geniculata isolated from chickpea nodules
A bacterium, isolated from nodules of chickpea grown in alluvial soils of Haryana state of India, designated as IC-76 was characterized for in vitro plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties and further evaluated under ...
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 ...
Place of plant genetic resources in ecological intensification and options for sustainable production by smallholder farmers in West African Sahel and dry savannas
This literature survey was conducted in the framework of the Dryland Systems CRP in 2013. This draft paper is drawn from the technical report entitled "Achigan-Dako, G. Enoch, Sogbohossou O. Deedi, Segnon C. Alcade, N’Danikou ...
Detection of a new QTL/gene for growth habit in chickpea CaLG1 using wide and narrow crosses
A recombinant inbred line population (RIP-9) derived from an interspecific cross (ILC72 × Cr5-10) was evaluated for growth habit during 2 years (2003 and 2004). This RIP was used to develop a pair of near isogenic lines ...
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 ...
