The CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes and Dryland Cereals (CRP-GLDC) has set aspirational targets to contribute to System-Level Outcomes (SLOs) on reducing poverty, improving food and nutritional security for health ...

Of the various environmental stresses that a plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes, both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...

Food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean) are important crops in North Africa, West and Central Asia (CWANA). However, their production is adversely affected by a number of insect pests such as chickpea Leaf miner and Pod ...

Maps, geography and spatial analysis are increasingly important for developing R&D programs, priority setting, monitoring, impacts assessment and reporting. • But the community of researchers working on this topics has ...

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, ...

In Morocco food legume crops are attacked by a number of insect pests. Among the important pests are Sitona weevil and Stem borer on faba bean and pea aphid on lentil. Seed treatment with systemic insecticides is becoming ...

Food legumes (Faba bean, lentils, chickpea and pea) are important crops that come in rotation with cereals in the rainfed regions of Morocco where the cereal/food legume cropping system predominates. While these crops were ...

For chickpea disease, a survey was conducted between November and January in four major chickpea growing states in central and southern parts of India viz. Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharashtra. For pigeonpea, survey ...

Wild relatives of pigeonpea possess desirable attributes to combat biotic stresses. The introgressed lines also serve as source for genetic enhancement for yield and related agronomical traits.

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 ...
