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 ...
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 ...
Heat Tolerance in Lentil under Field Conditions
In the present study, 334 lentil accessions were screened for heat tolerance under field conditions in 2011-12 and 160 accessions encounter high temperature (>35 oC) during the reproductive stage were again screened in ...
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 ...
Legume Program Annual Report 1991
In a continuing effort to enhance the complementary research and improve the efficiency of the use of available resources, ICARDA decided in September 1990 to consolidate research and training on the improvement of food ...
Genetic options for combating biotic stresses in cool-season food legumes
Cool-season food legumes, mainly faba bean (Vicia faba), chickpea (Cicer arietinum), field pea (Pisum sativum), lentil (Lens culinaris) and grass pea (Lathyrus sativus), are economically and ecologically important crops ...
