Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1978/79
This report summarises the data received from scientists who cooperate with the food legume improvement (FLIP) at ICARDA, for the 1978/79 crop season on replicated yield trials,non-replicated screening, and disease nurseries ...
Molecular and morphological diversity in Phytophthora cajani isolates in India
Morphological and cultural variability of 14 isolates of Phytophthora cajani collected from major pigeonpea growing areas in India was studied on different media namely potato dextrose agar (PDA), V8 juice agar (V8JA), ...
Effect of phosphorus (P) application on nutrient uptake, biomass, pod and seed formation in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp])
Phosphorous (P) deficiency is a serious problem which limits the
productivity of cowpea in sub-Saharan Africa.
• P deficiency affects negatively the formation of nodule (1, 2) and the
symbiotic fixation of N2 by limiting ...
Advances, challenges and opportunities in cool-season food legumes in dry area
Cool-season food legumes (chickpea, lentil, faba bean, field pea, and grass pea) are an integral part of subsistence farming in dry areas because these crops are a great source of nutritious food, feed, and income to small ...
Anticlastogenic potential of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) in white mice (Mus musculus L.)
This study investigated the anticlastogenic potential of International Crop Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) bred pigeonpea utilizing the micronucleus test using white mice models to determine the number ...
Next-generation sequencing for identification of candidate genes for Fusarium wilt and sterility mosaic disease in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)
Pigeonpea is a resilient crop, which is relatively more drought tolerant than many other
legume crops. To understand the molecular mechanisms of this unique feature of
pigeonpea, 51 genes were selected using the Hidden ...
Evidence for genotypic differences among elite lines of common bean in the ability to remobilize photosynthate to increase yield under drought
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume for human consumption. Drought stress is the major abiotic stress limitation of bean yields in smallholder farming systems worldwide. The current work ...
Evaluation early and extra-early chickpea lines for grain yield and other adaptive traits in Ethiopia
Fifteen early and extra early maturing chickpea lines including the standard checks (‘Ejere’ and ‘Minjar’) were evaluated for earliness at Debre Zeit during 2014 off season, 2014 main season, 2015 main season and 2016 ...
Establishing a Goat Community-Based Breeding Program in Mali
Throughout history, the practices of livestock husbandry have been evolving with the aim of improving animal production to meet the changing needs and preferences of consumers. Among these practices, breeding has played a ...
A Training on Multi-Trait Selection Index and Random Genetic Analysis in Wolayta Sodo, Ethiopia
A two-day advanced training session on Multi-Trait Selection Index, and Random Genetic Analysis was conducted in Wolaita Sodo city, in Ethiopia. The training specifically targeted researchers involved in implementing sheep ...
