Problem soils in cool season food legumes- Current knowledge and future prospects
Problem soils impose various stresses on plants and reduce crop yield significantly. As a
sizeable area under food legume crops falls under the problem soils, development of tolerant
varieties and appropriate agronomic ...
Harnessing food legumes for climate-smart agriculture
Food legumes are particularly suited to sustainable agriculture. ICARDA is developing and disseminating improved varieties and production technologies so farmers can benefit from the increasing demand for these climate-smart ...
Variety release by NARIS partner institutions from germplasm under development originated from ICARDA in 2019
List of varieties released by NARIs partner institutions from germplasm under development originated from ICARDA in 2019
Effects of heat stress on physiology and reproductive biology of chickpea and lentil
Chickpea and lentil are two vital winter-season legumes; their production has been found to be seriously constrained by increase in temperature during reproductive stage. Considering this, we examined the effects of high ...
Temperature sensitivity of food legumes: a physiological insight
Of the various environmental stresses that a
plant can experience, temperature has the widest and most
far-reaching effects on legumes. Temperature extremes,
both high (heat stress) and low (cold stress), are injurious ...
Walking on the wild side - expanding genetic diversity for future lentil breeding
Systematic use of genetic variability through judicious use of diverse germplasm maximizes genetic gain
per generation, and therefore, maximizes economic value of the crop. Sometime, however, the required
genetic variation ...
The Lentil Genome – from the sequencer to the field
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris; genome size 4.3 Gb) plays a significant role in supporting
sustainable agriculture worldwide. Its nutrition value has also been recognized as part of the solution to
combat global ...
