Problem soils in cool season food legumes- Current knowledge and future prospects
Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
Herbicide tolerance Faba bean, chickpea and lentils
The research aimed to screen faba bean, Chickpea and lentils to diverse herbicides. 50 lentil genotypes were screened to Imizathapyr and Metribuzin; 226 Chickpea lines screened to Imizathapyr and Metribuzin, among them 100 ...
Identification of High-Temperature Tolerant Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Genotypes through Leaf and Pollen Traits
Rising temperatures are proving detrimental for various agricultural crops. Cool-season legumes such as lentil (Lens culunaris Medik.) are sensitive to even small increases in temperature during the reproductive stage, ...
India-Morocco Initiative celebrates Pulse Feast Day in Rabat
The India-Morocco South-South Initiative kicked off celebrations for the 2016 International Year of Pulses (IYP) with a highspirited
meticulously organized feast in Rabat on Pulse Feast Day on January 6, 2016. The event ...
Analysis of genetic variability and genotype × environment interactions for iron and zinc content among diverse genotypes of lentil
Deficiencies of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are major problems in developing countries especially for woman and preschool children. Biofortification of staple food crops is a sustainable approach to improve human mineral intake ...
Harnessing food legumes for climate-smart agriculture
Food legumes are particularly suited to sustainable agriculture. ICARDA is developing and disseminating improved varieties and production technologies so farmers can benefit from the increasing demand for these climate-smart ...
Variety release by NARIS partner institutions from germplasm under development originated from ICARDA in 2019
List of varieties released by NARIs partner institutions from germplasm under development originated from ICARDA in 2019
Effects of heat stress on physiology and reproductive biology of chickpea and lentil
Chickpea and lentil are two vital winter-season legumes; their production has been found to be seriously constrained by increase in temperature during reproductive stage. Considering this, we examined the effects of high ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
Of the various environmental stresses that a
plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most
far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes,
both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...
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 ...
