Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
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 ...
