Transcriptome analyses reveal genotype- and developmental stage-specific molecular responses to drought and salinity stresses in chickpea
Drought and salinity are the major factors that limit chickpea production worldwide. We performed
whole transcriptome analyses of chickpea genotypes to investigate the molecular basis of drought
and salinity stress ...
What role for legumes in sustainable intensification? – case studies in Western Kenya and Northern Ghana for PROIntensAfrica
N2Africa was selected as a case study within the PROIntensAfrica initiative. In this case study, N2Africa focused on the potential role of legumes in sustainable intensification. The case study was conducted in two of the ...
Effect of sowing date and seed treatment on food legume insects
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 ...
A Renaissance in Plant Growth- Promoting and Biocontrol Agents by Endophytes
Endophytes are the microorganisms which colonize the internal tissue of
host plants without causing any damage to the colonized plant. The benefi -
cial role of endophytic organisms has dramatically documented worldwide
in ...
A Bayesian analysis of data from on-farm trials in legumes in Afghanistan
On-farm demonstration (OFD) are conducted to provide a real-time comparison of the recommended technology and the farmer practice in farmer’s field, and are effective and easy way to convince the farmers on the potential ...
Formulation and Commercialization of Rhizobia: Asian Scenario
The symbiotic agreement of rhizobia with leguminous plants is making a valuable
contribution to agriculture primarily as nitrogen fi xers and secondarily as
plant growth promoters by their key role as phosphate solubilizers, ...
Adult Sitona crinitus H. (Coleoptera: Curculionidae) feeding preference on some legume species
We determined the feeding preference under artificial infestation in plastic house conditions
of Sitona crinitus Herbst on several legumes: Vicia sativa, V. ervilia, V. faba, Lens culinaris
(small Syrian local " ILL: 4401"), ...
From best fit technologies to best fit scaling: incorporating and evaluating factors affecting the adoption of grain legumes in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Sub-Saharan Africa is characterised by diverse and heterogeneous environments
(World Bank, 2009), languages, cultures, institutions and histories (Hopkins, 2009)
and farming systems (Giller et al., 2011b; Tittonell et al., ...

inputs in Northern Ghana. Poster: N2Africa Putting nitrogen fixation to work for ...
Multiple post-domestication origins of kabuli chickpea through allelic variation in a diversification-associated transcription factor
Crop domestication and subsequent diversification represent adaptations to humanbuilt
environments and offer insights into the
evolutionary forces that shape phenotypic diversity. Chickpea (Cicer arietinum), a widely ...
