Utilization of actinomycetes having broad-spectrum of plant growth promoting and biocontrol traits in chickpea, sorghum and rice
Plant pathogens such as Sclerotium rolfsii (causes collar rot), Fusarium oxysporum (causes wilt) and Macrophomina phaseolina (causes charcoal rot/dry root rot) have a broad host range, affecting several agriculturally ...
Identification of molecular markers associated with rust resistance genes in lentil (Lens culinaris sub sp. culinaris)
Lentil rust caused by Uromyces vicia- fabae (Pers.) J. Schroet is the most widespread and economically
important disease in Ethiopia, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, and Morocco. The objective of this study was
to determine the ...
Overview of hybrid pigeonpea seed production technology and its on-farm validation
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is known for its high protein grains and it occupies an important place in subsistence agriculture of tropics and sub-tropics. The major constraint of the crop has been its low ...
An update on the host plant resistance to pigeonpea diseases
The production and productivity
of pigeonpea is severely constrained by
diseases such as Fusarium wilt, sterility
mosaic disease and Phytophthora blight.
These diseases can be serious alone or as
component of complex. ...
Identification of SNP and SSR Markers in Finger Millet Using Next Generation Sequencing Technologies
Finger millet is an important cereal crop in eastern Africa and southern India with excellent
grain storage quality and unique ability to thrive in extreme environmental conditions. Since
negligible attention has been paid ...
Genome-Enabled Prediction Models for Yield Related Traits in Chickpea
Genomic selection (GS) unlike marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC) predicts breeding
values of lines using genome-wide marker profiling and allows selection of lines prior
to field-phenotyping, thereby shortening the breeding ...
Genomic resources for pigeonpea
Pigeonpea is increasingly playing a
critical role in the lives of many farmers in
the semi-arid tropics, where it is grown for
both subsistence and commercial use. The
recent availability of genomic resources
opened a new ...
Use of Genomic Approaches in Understanding the Role of Actinomycetes as PGP in Grain Legumes
The advancement in molecular technologies has given a breakthrough to
explore the untapped and novel microbial isolates for characterization in
every aspect as we can consider microbes as an important primary natural
...
Host plant resistance to insect pests in pigeonpea: Potential and limitations
Host plant resistance to insects is one of the components of pest management in pigeonpea. Considerable progress has been made in developing techniques to screen for resistance to Helicoverpa armigera. However, some of ...
