Herbicide tolerant, machine-harvestable chickpea, faba bean and lentil varieties
This product line aims at developing and making available to farmers machine harvestable and herbicide tolerant chickpea, lentil and faba bean varieties that are expected to reduce cost of cultivation through labor saving, ...
Candidate genes identified for Ascochyta blight in chickpea, aflatoxin contamination in groundnut, populations advanced for phytophtora blight in pigeonpea, MAGIC population advanced and genotyped in groundnut
A mixture of fungal cultures of A. rabiei pathotypes (pathotypes I, II, and III) obtained from the Legume Pathology Laboratory at ICARDA was used to screen the RIL population. The experiment was laid out in Alpha Lattice ...
Genetic improvement of grass pea for low neurotoxin (β-ODAP) content
Grass pea is a promising crop for adaptation under climate change because of its tolerance to drought, water-logging and salinity, and being almost free from insect-pests and diseases. In spite of such virtues, global area ...
In vitro New Approaches for Shortening of Generation Cycles and Faster Breeding of Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Flowering is a complex process regulated by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grows as long day plant under natural conditions with single breeding cycle per annum. There ...
Root-omics for drought tolerance in cool-season grain legumes
Root traits can be exploited to increase the physiological efficiency of crop water use under drought. Root length, root hairs, root branching, root diameter, and root proliferation rate are genetically defined traits that ...
Effect of cooking methods on protein content and neurotoxin (β-ODAP) concentration in grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) grains - Efecto de los métodos de cocción sobre el contenido de proteínas y la concentración de neurotoxinas (β-ODAP) en los granos de guisante [chícharo, arveja] (Lathyrus sativus L.)
Grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) is an important food legume crop but notorious for plant neurotoxin beta-N-Oxalyl-L-alpha, beta-diaminopropionic acid (beta-ODAP), causing neurolathyrism to human and animals. The study aimed ...
Current knowledge in lentil genomics and its application for crop improvement
Most of the lentil growing countries face a certain set of abiotic and biotic stresses causing substantial reduction in crop growth, yield, and production. Until-to date, lentil breeders have used conventional plant breeding ...
Screening of lentil germplasm to identify the sources of resistance against Orobanche crenata
The root parasite, broomrape (Orobanche crenata) poses a serious threat to lentil production in Mediterranean and West Asian countries. Identinfication of resistant sources in the germplasm collections and the development ...
Identification of resistance sources to stemphylium blight and their molecular characterization
Report on Identification of resistance sources to stemphylium blight and their molecular characterization.
Lentils (Lens Culinaris L.): Linking whole foods for better human health
The failure to link current agricultural production with human nutritional needs has
led to the development of unhealthy food systems, which cause both malnutrition and
chronic diseases. Malnutrition is responsible for ...
