Genetic variability for root and shoot traits in a lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) recombinant inbred line population and their association with drought tolerance
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is usually grown under rainfed environments and often encounters drought stress from limited rainfall. Little information is available about shoot and root traits in association with drought ...
Molecular variance and population structure of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) landraces from Mediterranean countries as revealed by simple sequence repeat DNA markers: implications for conservation and use
The Mediterranean region has a rich history of domestication and cultivation of lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.). Landraces have been grown and repeatedly selected by local farmers under different agro-environments. ...
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 ...
