Use of expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for exploring genetic diversity in lentil and related wild species
Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were used to analyse genetic diversity among three Lens species. The SSR loci amplified successfully in wild species, with 94·82% transferability in Lens ...
Genetic Diversity Analysis of Lentil (Lens culinaris L.) Germplasm Using DNA Based SSR Markers
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.subsp. culinaris) is an important principal cool season pulse crop of Nepal. To estimate genetic diversity, one hundred eighty five diverse lentil germplasm were collected from National Grain ...
Identification of drought and heat tolerant spring barley germplasm and their use in barley breeding program
Experiments were conducted for identification of drought and heat tolerant spring barley germplasm at Jemma Shaim location in Morocco with more than 2400 advanced genotypes and cultivars for their use in barley breeding ...
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 ...
Sources of resistance in the existing breeding germplasm will be identified for incorporation in the elite cultivar/variety
In order to identify new sources of resistance to net blotch, a FIGS subset consisting of 96 barley accessions was screened with a mixture of 20-isolates of net blotch collected from different agro-climatic regions of ...
Biodiversity and varietal development of pulses in South Asia
South Asia (Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses with 28% and 38% share in global production and acreage. The present ...
Implementing breeding programs for high- & low-input, spring and winter barley
The breeding program was implemented in four countries viz. Lebanon (Terbol & AUB), Morocco (Rabat, Jemma Shaim, Allal Tazi), India (Amlaha) and Mexico (Toluca/ Obregon) to fulfil the objectives. More than 1800 new crosses ...
Diversification of male sterility sources in hybrid breeding programme
Wild relatives accessions are crossed with the cultivated types and the derived populations are searched for the expression of male sterility traits. The identified male sterile are tested for the stability of the sterility ...
Breeding Biofortified Pearl Millet Cultivars with high iron density
Harvest Plus Biofortification Program of the Consultative Group on International Agricultural Research (CGJAR) has initiated the
development and dissemination of improved crop. Cultivars with elevated levels of these ...
Screening of advanced breeding materials and segregating populations for downy mildew and blast reaction
One hundred fifty four B-lines were screened against six pathotypes- Sg 139, Sg 150, Sg 200, Sg 212, Sg 298 and Sg 610 under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted in CRD with two replicates; one pot/replicate. ...
