Expression of different mechanisms of resistance to insects in groundnut under field conditions
Host plant resistance is an important component of pest management, and information on contribution of different mechanisms of resistance is important for developing cultivars with resistance to the target pests. Therfore, ...
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 ...
Molecular breeding for introgression of fatty acid desaturase mutant alleles (ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B) enhances oil quality in high and low oil containing peanut genotypes
High oleate peanuts have two marketable benefits, health benefits to consumers and extended shelf life of peanut products. Two mutant alleles present on linkage group a09 (ahFAD2A) and b09 (ahFAD2B) control composition of ...
Effect of plant growth-promoting Streptomyces sp. on growth promotion and grain yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L)
The physiological and molecular responses of
six strains of Streptomyces sp. (CAI-13, CAI-85, CAI-93,
CAI-140, CAI-155 and KAI-180), with their proven potential
for plant growth-promotion (PGP) in rice were
studied to ...
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, ...
Farmer knowledge identifies a competitive bean ideotype for maize–bean intercrop systems in Rwanda
Background: Plant genotypes are rarely developed for mixed cropping systems despite the potential of these systems
to provide multiple ecosystem services. One of the most ubiquitously grown mixed cropping systems is a ...
Validation of markers linked to late leaf spot and rust resistance, and selection of superior genotypes among diverse recombinant inbred lines and backcross lines in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
Recombinant inbred lines (RILs) from four populations involving cultivated varieties, and backcross lines from three populations involving cultivated varieties and synthetic tetraploids (developed from wild diploids) were ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
