Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1982/83
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
Gendered aspirations and occupations among rural youth, in agriculture and beyond: A cross-regional perspective
Based on 25 case studies from the global comparative study ‘GENNOVATE: Enabling gender equality in agricultural and environmental innovation’, this paper explores rural young women’s and men’s occupational aspirations and ...
Root hair length evaluated
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 ...
Cassava Varieties Homologation Decree
The Ministry of Agriculture of Cote d'Ivore decree the homologation of 5 cassava varieties from IITA and IRAD.
QTL mapping for late leaf spot and rust resistance using an improved genetic map and extensive phenotypic data on a recombinant inbred line population in peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
The linkage map for the recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population derived from late leaf spot (LLS) and rust disease susceptible (TAG 24) and resistant (GPBD 4) varieties of peanut was improved by adding 139 new SSR ...

Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
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., ...
Vernalization response in chickpea is controlled by a major QTL
Wild Cicer species are known to be more responsive to vernalization (induce early flowering when exposed to low temperatures) than the cultivated chickpea. This study was aimed at molecular mapping of vernalization response ...
Estimation of phenotypic variability in symbiotic nitrogen fixation ability of common bean under drought stress using 15N natural abundance in grain
tCommon bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume, cultivated by small farmers andis usually exposed to unfavorable conditions with minimum use of inputs. Drought and low soil fertility,especially ...
