Regular updating of the crossing block with new barley varieties for conducting the crossing program of winter barley for different breeding objectives
The new sources of abiotic and biotic stresses have also been identified after evaluation through collaboration with NARS for phenotyping at diverse environments. Crossing blocks (CB) of barley 480 germplasm for spring ...
Monitor virulence spectrum of pearl millet downy mildew (DM) and blast pathogen populations through on-farm surveys and disease nurseries
DM and blast severity was assessed in the farmers’ fields in Maharashtra, India to monitor the performance of different hybrids. Pearl millet downy mildew virulence nursery (PMDMVN) consisting of 70 test entries including ...
Conduct of multi-location barley international trials in target regions
Multilocation barley international trials for spring barley under low and high input environments have been conducted in Morocco, Lebanon and India. Another set of winter barley trials were conducted at Ankara, in Turkey. ...
Study mechanism of blast resistance in pearl millet
For inheritance studies, a set of nine pearl millet genotypes; seven resistant (ICMB 93333, ICMB 97222, ICMB 02444, ICMR 06444, ICMR 06222, ICMR 11003 and IP 21187) and two susceptible (ICMB 95444 and ICMB 89111) were ...
Use of hotspots for screening of each disease / pest
A FIGS subset of yellow rust of 298 accessions was screened in the field in Durgapura, Jaipur (India) with artificial inoculation with an inoculum consisting of a mixture of 5-pathotypes. Based on the area under disease ...
Screening of advanced breeding materials and segregating populations for downy mildew and blast reaction
One hundred fifty four B-lines were screened against six pathotypes- Sg 139, Sg 150, Sg 200, Sg 212, Sg 298 and Sg 610 under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted in CRD with two replicates; one pot/replicate. ...
Genome wide association study (GWAS) of resistance to barley spot blotch in South Asia
Spot blotch, caused by Cochliobolus sativus (anamorph: Bipolaris Sorokiniana) is one of the important
foliar diseases of barley in South Asia. However, limited information on genetic resistance of spot blotch
resistance ...
Genome wide association studies of barley net blotch resistance in Morocco
Net blotch of barley caused by Pyrenophora teres f. teres (net form) and Pyrenophora teres f. maculata
(spot form) are important foliar diseases of barley crop worldwide. In Morocco, the yield losses can reach
up to 35% ...
Development of early generation mapping population for snapping trait in fingermillet
Total 200 F2 segregated lines ((Ex-Alupe-purple x KNE814) were planted for DNA extraction in polyhouse for DNA extraction at ICRAF, Nairobi, Kenya and later transferred to the Kiboko ICRISAT research station for characterization ...
Evaluation of local and introduced soybean varieties for response to soybean rust pathogen across soybean production ecologies of east and southern Africa
Soybean rust, caused by Phakopsora pachyrhizi has emerged as a major threat to
soybean production in Africa due to its rapid spread across the continent, as spores can
easily be dispersed by winds. Control has mainly been ...
