Sequencing chickpea genomes: genotyping and high-quality reference genomes for association studies and breeding
Natural populations of species closely related to cultivated chickpea (Cicer arietinum) were
identified and collected systematically using ecological principles from their native range in
southeastern Turkey. Collection ...
Groundnut lines that combine several desirable traits into single genotype to meet the needs of the farmer, consumer and industry.
Single-seed descent, pedigree, and backcross methods of breeding are used to improve the target traits. Selection in segregating populations are enabled by (a) markers for three traits, resistance to rust and late leaf ...
Diversification of male sterility sources in hybrid breeding programme
Wild relatives accessions are crossed with the cultivated types and the derived populations are searched for the expression of male sterility traits. The identified male sterile are tested for the stability of the sterility ...
Biodiversity and varietal development of pulses in South Asia
South Asia (Afghanistan, Bhutan, Bangladesh, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka) is the largest producer, consumer and importer of pulses with 28% and 38% share in global production and acreage. The present ...
Herbicide tolerance Faba bean, chickpea and lentils
The research aimed to screen faba bean, Chickpea and lentils to diverse herbicides. 50 lentil genotypes were screened to Imizathapyr and Metribuzin; 226 Chickpea lines screened to Imizathapyr and Metribuzin, among them 100 ...
Use of expressed sequence tag microsatellite markers for exploring genetic diversity in lentil and related wild species
Expressed sequence tag-simple sequence repeat (EST-SSR) markers were used to analyse genetic diversity among three Lens species. The SSR loci amplified successfully in wild species, with 94·82% transferability in Lens ...
High transpiration efficiency increases pod yield under intermittent drought in dry and hot atmospheric conditions but less so underwetter and cooler conditions in groundnut (Arachis hypogaea (L.))
Water limitation is a major yield limiting factor in groundnut and transpiration efficiency (TE) is con-sidered the main target for improvement, but TE being difficult to measure it has mostly been screenedwith surrogates. ...
Analysis of genetic diversity and population structure of peanut cultivars and breeding lines from China, India and the US using simple sequence repeat markers
Cultivated peanut is grown worldwide as richsource
of oil and protein. A broad genetic base is needed for
cultivar improvement. The objectives of this study were to
develop highly informative simple sequence repeat ...
Designing effective groundnut breeding strategies through farmers-breeder interactions in Northern Nigeria
Nigeria is the largest groundnut producing
country in West and Central Africa and the crop is grown
largely under small-holder system and rain-fed
conditions. Demand for improved groundnut varieties has
been increasing ...
Molecular Breeding for introgression of fatty acid desaturase mutant alleles (ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B) enhances oil quality in high and low oil containing peanut genotypes
High oleate peanuts have two marketable benefits, health benefits to consumers and extended shelf life
of peanut products. Two mutant alleles present on linkage group a09 (ahFAD2A) and b09 (ahFAD2B) control
composition of ...
