High yielding and drought tolerant genotypes developed through marker-assisted back crossing (MBAC) in chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second largest grown food legume crop in the
world after common bean. This crop is largely grown under rainfed conditions in Asia
and sub-Saharan Africa where terminal drought is the ...
Faba bean and wheat productivity in an alley cropping system basis on olive tree
Faba bean production systems in Morocco are very divers according to
agro- ecological diversity and farmer’s practices. Under agroforestry system basis on
olive tree, faba bean have not negative impact on olive tree ...
Screening of groundnut interspecific derivatives for resistance to Sclerotium rolfsii
Sclerotium rolfsii is a major constraint for production in most of the groundnut growing areas in India
inflicting 28-30 per cent yield losses annually. Irrigated groundnut grown in the post-rainy and summer
seasons in ...
Yield loss Modeling for late Leafspot and Rust in Groundnut
Late leaf spot and rust diseases occur together and cause considerable yield loss in groundnut.
Cultivation of resistant varieties is the best strategy to stabilize productivity under disease epidemics.
Several varieties ...
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
The Lentil Genome – from the sequencer to the field
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris; genome size 4.3 Gb) plays a significant role in supporting
sustainable agriculture worldwide. Its nutrition value has also been recognized as part of the solution to
combat global ...
Evaluation of faba bean accessions under diverse water regimes
Drought is a major limiting factor in faba bean (Vicia faba L.) production in the
Mediterranean region, which is known for irregular water distribution and moderate
moisture level (around 500 mm rainfall). The objective ...
