Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
NARROWING YIELD GAPS THROUGH GENETIC IMPROVEMENT FOR FUSARIUM WILT RESISTANCE IN THREE PULSE CROPS OF THE SEMI-ARID TROPICS
Chickpea, pigeonpea and lentil constitute the major component of low-input agriculture in the semi-arid tropics
(SAT). These pulses play an important role in alleviating malnutrition by way of forming an inseparable ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
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 ...
Identification and characterization of novel penta-podded genotypes in the cultivated lentil
Our study reports the identification of two novel multi-flowering (MF) genotypes,
PMF-1 and PMF-2, in cultivated lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.), stably
forming up to five flowers per peduncle (FPP) on I2 nodes at multiple ...
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 ...
