Genomic Tools in Groundnut Breeding Program: Status and Perspectives
Groundnut, a nutrient-rich food legume, is cultivated world over. It is valued for its
good quality cooking oil, energy and protein rich food, and nutrient-rich fodder. Globally,
groundnut improvement programs have developed ...
Pre-breeding to expand primary genepool through introgression of genes from wild Cajanus species for pigeonpea improvement
Narrow genetic base coupled with
low levels of resistance against important
biotic/abiotic stresses in cultivated
pigeonpea is the major constraint affecting
its production and productivity globally.
Wild Cajanus species ...
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 ...
15N evaluated in elite breeding lines
A total of 100 bean genotypes including 67 ENF lines, 13 CGA lines, MAC lines, MBC lines and 5 checks were evaluated for SNF ability and seed yield. Field trials were conducted at two locations (Darien and Popayan) in ...
Developing improved varieties of lentil
Lentil is a popular pulse consumed primarily in Asia. It has a protein content of approx. 28% and also contains high amounts of macro- and micro-nutrients. Lentils are cropped under rainfed conditions and on residual/conserved ...
Genetic diversity in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris)
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) important grain legume grown in rainfed areas of Central and Eastern India. The productivity of lentil in India is low in comparison to the global average. The main reason for low ...
