Satellite evidence on the trade-offs of the food-water–air quality nexus over the breadbasket of India
Access to food, water, and good air quality is indispensable for human life, as reflected in various United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs); however, pursuing food security may pose threats to water security ...
Genotype by Environment Interaction Effect on Grain Iron and Zinc Concentration of Indian and Mediterranean Lentil Genotypes
Lentil grains with high nutritional value qualify as a promising candidate for alleviation
of micronutrient malnutrition in South Asia and North Africa. Genetic variation for micronutrient
concentration in germplasm is ...
Diversity in Phytochemical Composition, Antioxidant Capacities, and Nutrient Contents Among Mungbean and Lentil Microgreens When Grown at Plain-Altitude Region (Delhi) and High-Altitude Region (Leh-Ladakh), India
Mungbeans and lentils are relatively easily grown and cheaper sources of microgreens, but their phytonutrient diversity is not yet deeply explored. In this study, 20 diverse genotypes each of mungbean and lentil were grown ...
Genome-wide association studies revealed novel stripe rust resistance QTL in barley at seedling and adult-plant stages
Barley stripe rust, Puccinia striiformis f. sp. hordei, (PSH) occurs worldwide and is one of the major barley diseases of South Asia and North Africa. The aim of this study was to identify and map rust resistance loci at ...
Evaluation of disease resistant and high yielding faba bean germplasm in India
Faba bean (Vicia faba L.) is one of the earliest domesticated food legumes after chickpea and pea in the world. It is been produced in many countries including China, Ethiopia, Egypt, northern Europe, the Mediterranean ...
Genome-wide association analysis of Mexican bread wheat landraces for resistance to yellow and stem rust
Deploying under-utilized landraces in wheat breeding has been advocated to accelerate
genetic gains in current era of genomics assisted breeding. Mexican bread wheat landraces
(Creole wheats) represent an important resource ...
What determines migration of sheep flocks? Evidences from Thar desert of Rajasthan
Based on primary data collected from 250 households rearing sheep, the socio-economic determinants of sheep migration and major constraints faced by them in arid region of Rajasthan was investigated in the year 2013-14. ...
Variation in P-acquisition ability and acid phosphatase activity at the early vegetative stage of lentil and their validation on P-deficiency field
Plant available phosphorus (P) is limited in the vast rice-fallow areas where the soil is mainly acidic. Screening of fifty lentil genotypes in soil cylinder filled with solid-phase P-buffer identified genotypes with high ...
Identification and morphological characterization of promising kabuli chickpea genotypes for short-season environment in central India
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is an important food legume crop grown in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. In India, kabuli chickpea is grown in central India in ~0.5 million ha, predominantly under short winter (< ...
Cactus Pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) Productivity, Proximal Composition and Soil Parameters as Affected by Planting Time and Agronomic Management in a Semi-Arid Region of India
Study of appropriate planting time and response to agronomic management practices is imperative for the newly introduced cactus pear (Opuntia ficus-indica (L.) Mill.) into a semi-arid region of India. Responses of cactus ...
