Sequencing chickpea genomes: genotyping and high-quality reference genomes for association studies and breeding
Natural populations of species closely related to cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) were
identified and collected systematically using ecological principles from their native range in
southeastern Turkey. Collection ...
Genotype x environment interaction and stability analysis in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.)
Genotype x environment interaction was evaluated under eight environments during lentil growing season of 2013/14 and 2014/15 for grain yield and their component characters of twenty one promising genotypes selected from ...
Adaptation of Grass Pea in South-Asia
In the framework of the R&D initiative "Grasspea production for safe human food, animal feed and sustainable rice based production system in India" implemented by ICARDA, this report highlight how improved varieties (Ratan, ...
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 ...
QTL mapping identifies a major locus for resistance in wheat to Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps) feeding at the vegetative growth stage
Sunn pest (Eurygaster integriceps Puton) is the most destructive insect pest of bread wheat and durum wheat in West and Central Asia and East Europe. Breeding for resistance at the vegetative stage of growth is vital in ...
Training and Surveillance Support for Wheat Rust Diseases in Central Asia and Near East: In-Country Rust Surveillance
Through the FAO-ICARDA initiative on Training and Surveillance Support for Wheat Rust Diseases, technical backstopping, guidelines and financial support were provided to facilitate national in-country rust surveillance in ...
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
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 ...
A Review of Variety Release Procedures and Related Issues with Recommendations for Good Practice
This working paper is a synthesis of experiences gained from studies carried out in Egypt, Ethiopia and Pakistan in 2011/12. The main purpose is to analyse the issues that arise in variety release and to make recommendations ...
