Application of Modern Tools of Biotechnology for Pest Management
Recombinant DNA technology has significantly enhanced our ability for crop improvement, to meet the increased demand for food and fiber. Considerable progress has been made over the past two decades in manipulating genes ...
Expression profiling from different tissues and developmental stages to define gene atlas
Thirty seven different samples representing 19 aerial, seven underground, two germinal and nine seed development related tissues from five different developmental stages have been targeted. The five developmental stages ...
Length of Growing Period over Africa: Variability and Trends from 30 Years of NDVI Time Series
The spatial distribution of crops and farming systems in Africa is determined by the duration of the period during which crop and livestock water requirements are met. The length of growing period (LGP) is normally assessed ...
Identification and Validation of Reference Genes and Their Impact on Normalized Gene Expression Studies across Cultivated and Wild Cicer Species
Quantitative Real-Time PCR (qPCR) is a preferred and reliable method for accurate quantification
of gene expression to understand precise gene functions. A total of 25 candidate
reference genes including traditional and ...
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"), ...
Development of segregating populations for heat stress tolerance in chickpea
Breeding materials for heat tolerance were at different stages of development. A total of 4 F1s, 5 F2 populations, 3 F4 populations, and 16 F5 populations were advanced to next generation in normal season 2015-16 at ...
HOPE II Progress Report
HOPE II is a visionary project that seeks to improve the lives of smallholder farmers in the semi-arid tropics of Africa through enhanced
dryland cereals productivity and production. It operates under five objectives: (1) ...
Estimating soil erosion in sub-Saharan Africa based on landscape similarity mapping
Soil erosion is one of the major forms of land degradation in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) with serious impact on agricultural productivity. Due to the absence of reliable data at appropriate resolution and differences in the ...
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), ...
