The effectiveness of using seed treatment with imidacloprid (Gaucho®) to reduce the incidence of Bean leaf roll virus (BLRV, family Luteoviridae), Faba bean necrotic yellows virus (FBNYV, genus Nanovirus) and Soybean dwarf ...
Screening techniques and sources of resistance to abiotic stresses in cool-season food legumes
The adaptability and productivity of cool-season food legumes (chickpea, faba bean, lentil, pea) are limited by major abiotic stresses including drought, heat, frost, chilling, waterlogging, salinity and mineral toxicities. ...
Influence of pretreatment on cooking quality parameters of dry food legumes
The effects of some pretreatment procedures on end-use quality of food legumes commonly consumed in the Middle East were examined. Soaking reduced both the cooking time and its variation for all pulses tested. Soaking with ...
Screening techniques and sources of resistance against parasitic weeds in grain legumes
A number of parasitic plants have become weeds, posing severe constraints to major crops including grain legumes. Breeding for resistance is acknowledged as the major component of an integrated control strategy. However, ...
