Phenotypic variability and characteristics of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) germplasm of Ethiopia by multivariate analysis
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik) is an important crop in Ethiopian highlands. Its productivity is very low
due to low yielding landraces and other factors. The objectives of this study were to classify groups of
genotypes ...
Identification of molecular markers associated with rust resistance genes in lentil (Lens culinaris sub sp. culinaris)
Lentil rust caused by Uromyces vicia- fabae (Pers.) J. Schroet is the most widespread and economically
important disease in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Morocco. The objective of this study was
to determine the ...
Can improved food legume varieties increase technical efficiency in crop production?
Faba bean (broad bean), field pea, and lentil are very important legumes in the highlands of Ethiopia. Ethiopia is the largest producer of faba bean in SSA. In 2012/13, about 4.4 million small holder farmers planted 574,000 ...
Guidelines and Procedures for Safe Food and Forage Crops Germplasm Moverment
Within the framework of the CGIAR, ICARDA has the
world mandate for the improvement of barley, lentil and faba
bean. It also has a regional mandate for the improvement of
wheat (bread and durum), Kabuli chickpea and pasture ...
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 ...
Genetic Diversity of Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis Population Affecting Lentil in Syria
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important food legume crop in Syria. Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis – Fol) is a key yield-limiting factor in the country. The genetic diversity of Fol population was ...
Effects of supplementary irrigation on Fusarium wilt epidemics and yield of lentil in northern Syria
Lentil (Lens culinaris) is a major legume crop in Syria where its productivity is low mainly due to Fusarium wilt (Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis) and drought. Although Fusarium wilt resistant cultivars are being introduced ...
