High yielding and drought tolerant genotypes developed through marker-assisted back crossing (MBAC) in chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second largest grown food legume crop in the
world after common bean. This crop is largely grown under rainfed conditions in Asia
and sub-Saharan Africa where terminal drought is the ...
Annual Report 2014: Pathways to Lasting Impact for rural drylands communities in the developing world
Summary of 2014 Dryland Systems research activities and achievements targeting a general non-scientific audience
A genome-wide SNP scan accelerates trait-regulatory genomic loci identification in chickpea
We identified 44844 high-quality SNPs by sequencing 92 diverse chickpea accessions belonging to a seed and pod trait-specific association panel using reference genome- and de novo-based GBS (genotyping-by-sequencing) assays. ...
Development of Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP) assay for rapid detection of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris - wilt pathogen of chickpea
Background
Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc), the causal agent of Fusarium wilt is a devastating pathogen of chickpea. In chickpea, various soil borne pathogens produce (s) similar symptoms, therefore cannot be ...
Plant growth-promoting traits of Pseudomonas geniculata isolated from chickpea nodules
A bacterium, isolated from nodules of chickpea grown in alluvial soils of Haryana state of India, designated as IC-76 was characterized for in vitro plant growth-promoting (PGP) properties and further evaluated under ...
Biological control of Botrytis cinerea and plant growth promotion potential by Penicillium citrinum in chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.)
A total of 48 fungi were characterised for their antagonistic potential againstBotrytis cinereacausing Botrytis Gray Mold (BGM) disease in chickpea by dualculture and metabolite production assays. The culture filtrate of ...
Plant growth promoting rhizobia: challenges and opportunities
Modern agriculture faces challenges, such as loss of soil fertility, fluctuating climatic factors and increasing pathogen and pest attacks. Sustainability and environmental safety of agricultural production relies on ...
