Pigeonpea breeding in eastern and southern Africa: challenges and opportunities
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millspaugh) is an important multipurpose grain legume crop primarily grown in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In Africa, the crop is grown for several purposes ...
Next-generation sequencing for identification of candidate genes for Fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)
Pigeonpea is a resilient crop, which is relatively more drought tolerant than many other
legume crops. To understand the molecular mechanisms of this unique feature of
pigeonpea, 51 genes were selected using the Hidden ...
Genomic Tools in Groundnut Breeding Program: Status and Perspectives
Groundnut, a nutrient-rich food legume, is cultivated world over. It is valued for its
good quality cooking oil, energy and protein rich food, and nutrient-rich fodder. Globally,
groundnut improvement programs have developed ...
CicArVarDB: SNP and InDel database for advancing genetics research and breeding applications in chickpea
Molecular markers are valuable tools for breeders to help accelerate crop improvement. High throughput sequencing technologies facilitate the discovery of large-scale variations such as single nucleotide polymorphisms ...
Genome-Enabled Prediction Models for Yield Related Traits in Chickpea
Genomic selection (GS) unlike marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) predicts breeding
values of lines using genome-wide marker profiling and allows selection of lines prior
to field-phenotyping, thereby shortening the breeding ...
The Role of Vegetables and Legumes in Assuring Food, Nutrition, and Income Security for Vulnerable Groups in Sub-Saharan Africa
Rising food and nutritional insecurity threatens the livelihoods of millions of poor people,
particularly in sub-Saharan Africa. Vegetable and legume production and consumption are a potent
mechanism for small-scale, ...
