Characterization of the main chickpea cropping systems in India using a yield gap analysis approach
Chickpea is an important livelihood option and nutritious food source for many subsistence farming communities in the developing world. Although India is the biggest chickpea producing nation, the demands of its growing ...
Molecular Mapping of QTLs for Heat Tolerance in Chickpea
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), a cool-season legume, is increasingly affected by heat-stress at reproductive stage due to changes in global climatic conditions and cropping systems. Identifying quantitative trait loci ...
Achieving sustainable cultivation of grain legumes –Vol II. Improving cultivation of particular grain legumes
The lentil (Lens culinaris Medik. ssp. culinaris) is a short, slender annual leguminous plant
that produces a popular pulse that is widely consumed, especially in Asia. Its grain is a
vital source of protein, with a mean ...
Identification of QTLs for resistance to Fusarium wilt and Ascochyta blight in a recombinant inbred population of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Fusarium wilt (FW; caused by Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris) and Ascochyta blight (AB; caused by Ascochyta rabiei) are two major biotic stresses that cause significant yield losses in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). In ...
A Decade of Research Progress in Chickpea and Lentil Breeding and Genetics
This paper summarizes achievements of chickpea and lentil breeding during the last decade /2005-2015/ in Ethiopia. Gentic yield gains from decadal breeding efforts were 80 kg/ha/year for chickpea and 52 kg/ha/yr for lentil. ...
Impact Assessment of the Village Seed Bank (VSB) program for chickpea, groundnut and pigeonpea in the Central Dry Zone of Myanmar, focusing on the production, distribution, productivity and profitability of seed of improved cultivars
A major objective of the Australian Centre for International Agricultural Research (ACIAR)-funded MyPulses project in Myanmar was the development of improved, high-yielding varieties of pigeonpea, groundnut and chickpea ...
Integrated breeding approaches for improving drought andheat adaptation in chickpea (Cicer arietinumL.)
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is a dry season food legume largely grown on residual
soil moisture after the rainy season. The crop often experiences moisture stress
towards end of the crop season (terminal drought). The ...
Achieving sustainable cultivation of grain legumes –Vol I. Advances in breeding and cultivation technique
“This reference will greatly improve the visibility of,
and access to knowledge about crops that play such a
critical role in sustainable cropping systems, nutrition
and income, yet which often remain under the radar ...
