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 ...
Screening of advanced breeding materials and segregating populations for downy mildew and blast reaction
One hundred fifty four B-lines were screened against six pathotypes- Sg 139, Sg 150, Sg 200, Sg 212, Sg 298 and Sg 610 under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was conducted in CRD with two replicates; one pot/replicate. ...
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 ...
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 ...
15N evaluated in elite breeding lines
A total of 100 bean genotypes including 67 ENF lines, 13 CGA lines, MAC lines, MBC lines and 5 checks were evaluated for SNF ability and seed yield. Field trials were conducted at two locations (Darien and Popayan) in ...
