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 ...
Strategies for pigeonpea improvement
In order to feed an ever-increasing population, it is essential to deal yieldreducing factors. Climate smart crop varieties that yield more with fewer inputs will be required to achieve the success. In this scenario pigeonpea ...
Varietal improvement for seed and maturity traits by broadening the genetic base
77 F3 progenies were studied in 2016 season and superior single plant selections with good seed traits were selected for further study in 2017 season. In super early group (which mature in less than 100 days) stabilized ...
Physiological traits associated with drought resistance in Andean and Mesoamerican genotypes of common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.)
Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human consumption, and drought stress affects over 60% of dry bean production worldwide. Field and rainout shelter studies were conducted at the ...
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 ...
Enhancing Capacity in Scaling Community-Based Breeding Programs for Development Partners and Communities in Different Regions of Ethiopia
Since 2009, Community-based Breeding Programs (CBBPs) have been successfully implemented in Ethiopia, resulting in significant genetic advancements for the selected traits within the program.
Modelling activities in peanut/chickpea (paper writing)
The SSM-legume model of Soltani and Sinclair (2011) was used in this study. It was used here to test the validity of Marksim-generated weather data, to assess the extent of yield reductions caused by water deficit, and ...
Mapping forests in monsoon Asia with ALOS PALSAR 50-m mosaic images and MODIS imagery in 2010
Extensive forest changes have occurred in monsoon Asia, substantially affecting climate, carbon cycle
and biodiversity. Accurate forest cover maps at fine spatial resolutions are required to qualify and
quantify these ...
Repeat assessment of CSSL of peanut (introgression of AixAd into cultivated Fleur11) in Lysimeters and LeasyScan, and analysis of the multiyear data
Transpiration efficiency (TE) measurements were carried out in a lysimetric system, which has been described in many papers by the group (see Vadez et al., 2014). In short, groundnut plants were grown in 1.2-m length and ...
