Estimation of phenotypic variability in symbiotic nitrogen fixation ability of common bean under drought stress using 15N natural abundance in grain
tCommon bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume, cultivated by small farmers andis usually exposed to unfavorable conditions with minimum use of inputs. Drought and low soil fertility,especially ...
The Impact of International and National Investment in Barley Germplasm Improvement in the Developing Countries
Barley grain is used for animal feed, malt and food for human consumption. Archaeological evidence shows that barley was used in human food several thousand years ago (Bhatty, 1992). Although replaced by wheat and rice in ...
Evaluation of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) genotypes for drought stress adaptation in Ethiopia
Drought stress linked with climate changeisoneofthemajorconstraintsfacedby
common bean farmers in Africa and elsewhere. Mitigating this constraint requires the
selection of resilient varieties that withstand drought threats ...
Genome-Wide Association Mapping for Seedling and Adult Plant Resistance to Stripe Rust in Synthetic Hexaploid Wheat
Use of genetic diversity from related wild and domesticated species has made a significant contribution to improving wheat productivity. Synthetic hexaploid wheats (SHWs) exhibit natural genetic variation for resistance ...
Food Legume Nurseries: International Nursery Report 1983/84
The main objective of the program is to provide a mechanism for the multi-location testing of the genetic material of chickpea, faba beans, and lentils originating from national and International programs.
The testing aims ...
Identifying genes and QTL associated with heat tolerance. Genomic regions for heat tolerance identified in interspecific progeny
Initial results with GBS suggested that introgression had occurred across a wide part of the genome when a large number of lines were considered (Figure 1). GBS also suggested that heat tolerant line INB 841 had very ...
Policy-oriented Research in the CGIAR: Assessing the Impact
Building on an earlier exploratory study, in 2007–2008 the CGIAR’s Standing Panel on Impact Assessment (SPIA) undertook an initiative in collaboration with seven CGIAR centers to augment the evidence of policy-oriented ...
Breeding lines with improved performance under P and water limitation. Improved lines for combined stress of drought and low P identified
Simple, 3-way and double (4 parent) crosses are created among stress tolerant parents, and including parents for high grain iron. F2 populations are screened under drought stress and promising families are harvested in ...
Identification of candidate genes and natural allelic variants for QTLs governing plant height in chickpea
In the present study, molecular mapping of high-resolution plant height QTLs was performed by integrating 3625 desi genome-derived GBS (genotyping-by-sequencing)-SNPs on an ultra-high resolution intra-specific chickpea ...
