Development of Lentil Cultivar with High Concentration of Iron and Zinc Final Technical Report
Fe and Zn analysis of new genetic materials will be carried out (approx. 200 accessions)
New crosses will be commissioned between High and High content parents for both Fe and Zn. Primary, intermediate products will be ...
Microsatellite marker-based genetic diversity analysis of elite lentil lines differing in grain iron and zinc concentration
Trial comprising fifty lentil genotypes was con- ducted at three locations in India during year 2013–2014 for estimation of grain Fe and Zn concentrations and to analyze G 9 E interactions by employing the additive main ...

India-Morocco Initiative celebrates Pulse Feast Day in Rabat
The India-Morocco South-South Initiative kicked off celebrations for the 2016 International Year of Pulses (IYP) with a highspirited
meticulously organized feast in Rabat on Pulse Feast Day on January 6, 2016. The event ...
Analysis of genetic structure and interrelationships in lentil species using morphological and SSR markers
Genetic structure and relationships of 130 lentil accessions belonging to six taxa were analysed. For this purpose, seven morphological traits and 31 polymorphic simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers were used for this ...
Heat Tolerance in Lentil under Field Conditions
In the present study, 334 lentil accessions were screened for heat tolerance under field conditions in 2011-12 and 160 accessions encounter high temperature (>35 oC) during the reproductive stage were again screened in ...
Tapping Rice Fallows to Boost Pulses Production in India
India is globally the largest consumer of pulses with millions, particularly the poor, dependent on them for food and nutrition. It is also the largest importer of pulses and faces increasing dependence on imports as pulses ...
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 ...
Harnessing food legumes for climate-smart agriculture
Food legumes are particularly suited to sustainable agriculture. ICARDA is developing and disseminating improved varieties and production technologies so farmers can benefit from the increasing demand for these climate-smart ...
Analysis of genetic variability and genotype 3 environment interactions for iron and zinc content among diverse genotypes of lentil
Deficiencies of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) are major problems in developing countries especially for woman and preschool children. Biofortification of staple food crops is a sustainable approach to improve human mineral intake ...
