Multi environment evaluation of chickpea disease nurseries (wilt, Aschochyta blight and Botrytis grey mold) to identify stable and new sources of resistance
Under the ICRISAT- ICAR collaboration, disease nurseries of wilt (ICWN), AB (IABN) and BGM (IBGMN) consisting of 30 entries (28 resistant cultivars and 2 susceptible checks) were evaluated at different locations (hot spots) ...
ICARDA Strategic Plan 2017-2026 Summary
To help break the cycle of poverty, improve food and nutritional security, halt or reverse the alarming process of resource degradation in the dry areas, and help communities adapt to the impacts of climate variability and ...
Problem soils in cool season food legumes- Current knowledge and future prospects
Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
Sources of resistance in the existing breeding germplasm will be identified for incorporation in the elite cultivar/variety
In order to identify new sources of resistance to net blotch, a FIGS subset consisting of 96 barley accessions was screened with a mixture of 20-isolates of net blotch collected from different agro-climatic regions of ...
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 ...
Develop MAGIC and biparental populations following SSD (2) Phenotyping of populations for target traits
Seed increase is in progress of 3000 F6 generation MAGIC lines derived from the crosses involving the parents, ICGV 91114, ICGV 06040, 55-437, ICGV 00440, ICGV 00308, GPBD 4, ICGV 05155 and ICGV 88145. RIL population derived ...
Barley research in India: challenges and opportunities
Barley in India is grown in marginal, problematic and resource poor soils as a rainfed crop except some malt barley under contract farming. India's annual production of barley is around 1.6-1.8 m tons and area under ...
ICARDA’s New Strategic Plan 2017-2026 Highlights
Non-tropical dry areas cover over 40% of the world’s land surface with a growing population of more than 2.5 billion people. These people grow 44% of the world’s food and keep half of the world’s livestock, yet one in six ...
Quantification of Foc colonization through qPCR in resistant and susceptible cultivars grown under elevated CO2
The chickpea seedlings of susceptible cv. JG 62 and resistant cv. WR 315 were grown in open top chambers at different CO2 concentrations [ambient (~380 ppm) and elevated ( 550 ppm and 700 ppm). Seven day old seedlings were ...
Genotypic and location effect on grain protein content of barley under sub-tropical climates
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is a very ancient grain and is considered as a sacred grain the Indian culture.
However, over the years the area and production of barley decreased in India mainly because of availability
of ...
