Root hair length evaluated
A field trial was conducted during the dry season (May to July 2016) at Darien, Valle del Cauca-Colombia, The BASE (Bean Abiotic Stress Evaluation). The BASE trial included 80 bean genotypes: 58 belong to Mesoamerican gene ...
Overview of hybrid pigeonpea seed production technology and its on-farm validation
Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] is known for its high protein grains and it occupies an important place in subsistence agriculture of tropics and sub-tropics. The major constraint of the crop has been its low ...
Leverage Government programmes, farmer communities
Develop and promote decentralized seed models to organize production and supply of quality groundnut seed of improved varieties, and conduct training programs to farmers and extension staff.
Identification of hyper nodulation mutant lines in chickpea using TiLLING population
For genotyping the following steps were performed for 1300 TILLING lines:
Fresh leaf tissue was collected from 1300 mutant lines
DNA was extracted.
DNA quality and quantity was measured by using NanoDrop, ...
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 ...
Effect of phosphorus (P) application on nutrient uptake, biomass, pod and seed formation in cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp])
Phosphorous (P) deficiency is a serious problem which limits the
productivity of cowpea in sub-Saharan Africa.
• P deficiency affects negatively the formation of nodule (1, 2) and the
symbiotic fixation of N2 by limiting ...
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 ...
Understanding variability in soybean yield and response to P-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants on farmers' fields in northern Nigeria
Soybean yields could benefit from the use of improved varieties, phosphate-fertilizer and rhizobium inoculants. In this study, we evaluated the results of widespread testing of promiscuous soybean varieties with four ...
