Molecular diversity and mapping towards enhanced valorization of lentil genetic resources and marker-assisted selection for efficient cultivar development
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important crop for sustainable farming thanks to its ability to fix the atmospheric nitrogen enhancing soil fertility and allowing substantial reduction in fertilizer use. Recently, DNA ...
Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling Root and Shoot Traits Associated with Drought Tolerance in a Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Recombinant Inbred Line Population
Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting lentil productivity in rainfed production systems. Specific rooting patterns can be associated with drought avoidance mechanisms that can be used in lentil breeding ...
Registration Of 'Chakkouf' Lentil In Morocco
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris) is one of the oldest food legumes and is the third most important one in Morocco. It provides a valuable and balanced protein source in the human diet and plays an important ...
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. ...
Status and prospects of food legumes improvement in Morocco
In Morocco, faba bean, chickpea and lentil are being grown under rainfed
conditions and play an important role in cereal-based cropping systems. Food
legumes improve soil fertility through biological nitrogen fixation and ...
Genetic diversity analysis of Moroccan lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) landraces using Simple Sequence Repeat and Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphisms reveals functional adaptation towards agro‐environmental origins
In the absence of previous molecular characterization, we assessed genetic diversity of 53 Moroccan lentil landraces including two local cultivars using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms ...
Functional genetic diversity analysis and identification of associated SSRs and AFLPs markers to drought tolerance in Lentils landraces
Genetic diversity of 70 Mediterranean lentil landraces was assessed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP). Their variation for root and shoot traits and drought tolerance was ...
A Global Survey Of Effects Of Genotype And Environment On Selenium Concentration In Lentils (Lens Culinaris L.): Implications For Nutritional Fortification Strategies
Lentils (Lens culinaris L) are an important protein and carbohydrate food, rich in essential dietary components and trace elements. Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for human health. For adults, 55 mu g of daily ...
