Transcriptome analyses reveal genotype- and developmental stage-specific molecular responses to drought and salinity stresses in chickpea
Drought and salinity are the major factors that limit chickpea production worldwide. We performed
whole transcriptome analyses of chickpea genotypes to investigate the molecular basis of drought
and salinity stress ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci of Resistance to Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus and Leaf Spots in a Recombinant Inbred Line Population of Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) from SunOleic 97R and NC94022
Peanut is vulnerable to a range of diseases, such as Tomato spotted wilt virus (TSWV) and
leaf spots which will cause significant yield loss. The most sustainable, economical and
eco-friendly solution for managing peanut ...
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 ...
Hybrid pigeonpea: Accomplishments and challenges for the next decade
Release of the world’s first commercial pigeonpea hybrid is considered a milestone in the history of legume breeding. At present three commercial hybrids with yield advantages of 30 -50% are available. This has been possible ...
Whole genome re-sequencing reveals genome-wide variations among parental lines of 16 mapping populations in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
Background: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the second most important grain legume cultivated by resource poor farmers in South
Asia and SubSaharan
Africa. In order to harness the untapped genetic potential available for ...

Development of a High-Density Linkage Map and Tagging Leaf Spot Resistance in Pearl Millet Using Genotyping-by-Sequencing Markers
Pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br; also Cenchrus americanus
(L.) Morrone] is an important crop throughout the world but
better genomic resources for this species are needed to facilitate
crop improvement. Genome ...
Assessing the prospects of Streptomyces sp. RP1A-12 in managing groundnut stem rot disease caused by Sclerotium rolfsii Sacc
Stem rot of groundnut caused by the soilborne
pathogen Sclerotium rolfsii can cause significant yield
losses. Biological control of stem rot using actinomycetes
is a viable alternative to existing fungicidal management.
Though ...
Pigeonpea breeding in eastern and southern Africa: challenges and opportunities
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan [L.] Millspaugh) is an important multipurpose grain legume crop primarily grown in tropical and subtropical areas of Asia, Africa and Latin America. In Africa, the crop is grown for several purposes ...
Genotypic variation in soil water use and root distribution and their implications for drought tolerance in chickpea
Chickpeas are often grown under receding soil moisture and suffer ~50% yield losses due to drought stress.
The timing of soil water use is considered critical for the efficient use of water under drought and to reduce yield ...
