Evaluation of ICARDA barley germplasm for resistance to spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) in India
Cultivation of resistant varieties is considered to be the cheapest way to combat plant diseases
particularly in developing countries where most of the barley farmers are marginal and unable to
afford costly fungicides. ...
Relevance of limited-transpiration trait for lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) in South Asia
Drought is one of the most important environmental factors that limit crop production. It has been hypothesized that a limited-transpiration trait under high vapor pressure deficit (VPD) is a mechanism for water conservation ...
Genotypic and growing location effect on grain β-glucan content of barley under sub-tropical climates
Effect of genotype and growing location on barley grain beta glucan content was studied in 25 barley genotypes grown over six different locations in India. Based upon the two years results, the genotypes BCU 554, BH 963, ...
Opportunities to improve the seasonal dynamics of water use in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) to enhance yield increase in water‑limited environments
Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is one of the most important annual food legumes that plays an important role in the food and nutritional security of millions in the world. Lentil is mainly grown under rainfed environments, ...
Food Legumes and Rising Temperatures: Effects, Adaptive Functional Mechanisms Specific to Reproductive Growth Stage and Strategies to Improve Heat Tolerance
Ambient temperatures are predicted to rise in the future owing to several reasons associated with global climate changes. These temperature increases can result in heat stress- a severe threat to crop production in most ...
Genome wide association analysis for stripe rust resistance in barley seedlings and adult plant stage in India
Barley stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, PSH) occurs worldwide and is a major fungal
disease in barley in Southern Asia. In order to identify and the estimate effects of loci underlying
quantitative resistance ...
Identification of barley genotypes with higher protein content coupled with bold grains for food and malt barley improvement under sub-tropical climates
Grain protein content is very important trait with respect to barley grains meant for food, feed and malt purposes. Barley grain protein content was evaluated in several genotypes for two years at different locations under ...
Evaluation of exotic barley germplasm against yellow rust in India
Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) is an important cereal crop in India currently being cultivated in 0.67
m ha with production of 1.6 m tonnes. The crop suffers from many foliar diseases with yellow rust
(Puccinia striiformis ...
Identification of High-Temperature Tolerant Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Genotypes through Leaf and Pollen Traits
Rising temperatures are proving detrimental for various agricultural crops. Cool-season legumes such as lentil (Lens culunaris Medik.) are sensitive to even small increases in temperature during the reproductive stage, ...
GGE biplot model for environmental delineation and identification of resistant sources for stripe rust and spot blotch in India
Stripe rust (Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei) and spot blotch (Bipolaris sorokiniana) are major
biotic constraints in yield maximization in barley in India. Stripe rust is wide spread in different
agro-ecologies of India ...
