Genetic variability for mineral nutrients in lentil
The present study was conducted to analyze the concentration of 8 important mineral nutrients namely calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), and cadmium (Cd) ...
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 ...
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 ...
Origin of early maturing pigeonpea germplasm and its impact on adaptation and cropping systems
Pigeonpea breeding activities started about a century ago and for decades only late maturing cultivars dominated the global cultivation. Historically, no early maturing cultivar was available for a very long time and ...
Integrating genomics for chickpea improvement: achievements and opportunities
The implementation of novel breeding technologies is expected to contribute substantial improvements in crop productivity. While conventional breeding methods have led to development of more than 200 improved chickpea ...
Genetic diversity in Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. culinaris)
Lentil (Lens culinaris ssp. culinaris) important grain legume grown in rainfed areas of Central and Eastern India. The productivity of lentil in India is low in comparison to the global average. The main reason for low ...
