Problem soils in cool season food legumes- Current knowledge and future prospects
Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
Seed Info No. 49
Seed Info aims to stimulate information exchange and regular communication among seed staff in the Central and West Asia and North Africa (CWANA) region and beyond. Its purpose is to help strengthen national seed programs ...
Leverage Government programmes, farmer communities
Develop and promote decentralized seed models to organize production and supply of quality groundnut seed of improved varieties, and conduct training programs to farmers and extension staff.
Develop MAGIC and biparental populations following SSD (2) Phenotyping of populations for target traits
Seed increase is in progress of 3000 F6 generation MAGIC lines derived from the crosses involving the parents, ICGV 91114, ICGV 06040, 55-437, ICGV 00440, ICGV 00308, GPBD 4, ICGV 05155 and ICGV 88145. RIL population derived ...
RNA-seq based transcriptome profiling, identification and validation of heat stress responsive genes in chickpea
Six contrasting heat responsive (tolerant - ICCV 92944, ICC 1356, ICC 15614 and sensitive - ICC 5912, ICC 4567, ICC 10685) genotypes were selected for the study. Heat stress was imposed using growth chamber facility, ...
Commercial hybrid cultivation production promoted in at least 100,000 ha
In 2016, a quantity of 705 tons of hybrid pigeonpea seeds were produced by all the stake holders Which was sufficient to cover 140000 has of area with hybrid pigeonpea seeds. An area of 680 has is under seed production by ...
Construction of Saturated Genetic Map
The first version of genetic map was constructed using the T-population (Tifrunner × GT-C20) with 239 mapped loci which was then improved to 378 marker loci. In the present study, genotyping data was generated for additional ...
Phenotypic differences in adaptation to combined stress of inadequate P supply and drought (BASE 80 trial)
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Main-effect QTLs (M-QTLs) for Aspergillus infection and Aflatoxin Contamination
Screening of the fungal infection was performed in the controlled conditions at Tifton in 2015. QTL analysis using phenotyping and genotyping data identified ten M-QTLs for the Aspergillus infection with PVE ranging from ...
Evaluation of local and introduced soybean varieties for response to soybean rust pathogen across soybean production ecologies of east and southern Africa
Soybean rust, caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi has emerged as a major threat to
soybean production in Africa due to its rapid spread across the continent, as spores can
easily be dispersed by winds. Control has mainly been ...
