Effect of sowing time, varieties and plant growth regulators on growth, physiological indices and productivity of coriander (Coriandrum sativum)
A field experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) seasons of 2011–12 and 2012–13 at Agronomy Farm, Jobner, Rajasthan, to study the response of coriander (Coriandrum sativum L.) varieties to plant-growth regulators under ...
Assessment of risk premium in farm technology adoption as a climate change adaptation strategy in the dryland systems of India
Purpose: Changing climate has increasingly become a challenge for smallholder farmers.
Identification of technical, institutional and policy interventions as coping and adaptation
strategies, and exploring risks of their ...
NO to drought-multifunctional role of nitric oxide in plant drought: Do we have all the answers?
Nitric oxide (NO) is a versatile gaseous signaling molecule with increasing significance in plant research due to its association with various stress responses. Although, improved drought tolerance by NO is associated ...
Agronomic improvements can make future cereal systems in South Asia far more productive and result in a lower environmental footprint
South Asian countries will have to double their food production by 2050 while using resources more efficiently and
minimizing environmental problems. Transformative management approaches and technology solutions will ...
Exploitation of wild annual Cicer species for widening the gene pool of chickpea cultivars
Introgression of unadapted genes from the wild Cicer species could
contribute to the widening of genetic base of important traits such as
yield, yield attributes and resistance to major biotic and abiotic stresses.
An ...
Genetic Diversity in Lens Species Revealed by EST and Genomic Simple Sequence Repeat Analysis
Low productivity of pilosae type lentils grown in South Asia is attributed to narrow genetic
base of the released cultivars which results in susceptibility to biotic and abiotic stresses.
For enhancement of productivity ...
Diversity Analysis among Chickpea Genetic Stock as Revealed Through STMS Marker Analysis
Genetic diversity analysis of chickpea germplasm can provide useful information for the selection of parental material and thus help in planning breeding strategies.In the present study, a total of 57 STMS loci were analyzed ...
Spatio-temporal estimation of consumptive water use for assessment of irrigation system performance and management of water resources in irrigated Indus Basin, Pakistan
Reallocation of water resources in any irrigation scheme is only possible by detailed assessment of current
irrigation performance. The performance of the Lower Chenab Canal (LCC) irrigation system in
Pakistan was evaluated ...
Chickpea Landraces: A Valuable and Divergent Source for Drought Tolerance
Chickpea incurs heavy yield losses due to terminal heat and drought as it is largely grown under rainfed restricted
irrigated conditions on residual soil moisture. The narrow genetic base among cultivated chickpea accessions ...
Genome-wide conserved non-coding microsatellite (CNMS) marker-based integrative genetical genomics for quantitative dissection of seed weight in chickpea
Phylogenetic footprinting identified 666 genome-wide paralogous and orthologous CNMS (conserved non-coding microsatellite) markers from 5′-untranslated and regulatory regions (URRs) of 603 protein-coding chickpea genes. ...
