Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci of Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Leaf Spots in a Recombinant Inbred Line Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) from SunOleic 97R and NC94022
Peanut is vulnerable to a range of diseases, such as Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and
leaf spots which will cause significant yield loss. The most sustainable, economical and
eco-friendly solution for managing peanut ...
An update on the host plant resistance to pigeonpea diseases
The production and productivity
of pigeonpea is severely constrained by
diseases such as Fusarium wilt, sterility
mosaic disease and Phytophthora blight.
These diseases can be serious alone or as
component of complex. ...
Identification of hyper nodulation mutant lines in chickpea using TiLLING population
For genotyping the following steps were performed for 1300 TILLING lines:
Fresh leaf tissue was collected from 1300 mutant lines
DNA was extracted.
DNA quality and quantity was measured by using NanoDrop, ...
Community typology framed by normative climate for agricultural innovation, empowerment, and poverty reduction
This paper employs the concepts of gender norms and agency to advance understanding of
inclusive agricultural innovation processes and their contributions to empowerment and poverty
reduction at the village level. We present ...
From best fit technologies to best fit scaling: incorporating and evaluating factors affecting the adoption of grain legumes in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Sub-Saharan Africa is characterised by diverse and heterogeneous environments
(World Bank, 2009), languages, cultures, institutions and histories (Hopkins, 2009)
and farming systems (Giller et al., 2011b; Tittonell et al., ...
Sowing density effect on common bean leaf area development
Sowing density is a major management factor that affects growth and development of grain
crops by modifying the canopy light environment and interplant competition for water and
nutrients. While the effects of sowing ...
Identification of SNP and SSR Markers in Finger Millet Using Next Generation Sequencing Technologies
Finger millet is an important cereal crop in eastern Africa and southern India with excellent
grain storage quality and unique ability to thrive in extreme environmental conditions. Since
negligible attention has been paid ...
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 ...
Genomic resources for pigeonpea
Pigeonpea is increasingly playing a
critical role in the lives of many farmers in
the semi-arid tropics, where it is grown for
both subsistence and commercial use. The
recent availability of genomic resources
opened a new ...
