Influence of plant growth retardants on growth, seed yield and quality in onion (Allium cepa) cv. Pusa Riddhi
A field experiment was conducted at New Delhi during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 to evaluate the effect of growth retardants on seed scape height, seed yield and quality attributes in onion (Allium cepa L.) cv. Pusa Riddhi.The ...
Chickpea genetic resources and its utilization in India: Current status and future prospects
Chickpea is recognized as most nutritious pulse crop and
with respect to acreage, it ranks at the top among pulses in
India. Realizing the significance of plant genetic resources,
special efforts were made by the National ...
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 ...
Long term effect of conservation agriculture in maize rotations on total organic carbon, physical and biological properties of a sandy loam soil in north-western Indo- Gangetic Plains
Maize-based crop rotations are advocated as alternate to rice-based systems in South Asia due to better suitability for diverse ecologies, higher yields with less water use and more palatable maize fodder compared to rice, ...
Mapping Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling High Iron and Zinc Content in Self and Open Pollinated Grains of Pearl Millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]
Pearl millet is a multipurpose grain/fodder crop of the semi-arid tropics, feeding many
of the world’s poorest and most undernourished people. Genetic variation among
adapted pearl millet inbreds and hybrids suggests it ...
Microsatellite marker-based genetic diversity analysis of elite lentil lines differing in grain iron and zinc concentration
Trial comprising fifty lentil genotypes was con- ducted at three locations in India during year 2013–2014 for estimation of grain Fe and Zn concentrations and to analyze G 9 E interactions by employing the additive main ...
Intra-population genetic variance for grain iron and zinc contents and agronomic traits in pearl millet
Crop biofortification is a sustainable approach for fighting micronutrient malnutrition in
the world. The estimation of variance components in genetically broad-based populations
provides information about their genetic ...
QTL mapping of pearl millet rust resistance using an integrated DArT- and SSR-based linkage map
Rust, caused by the fungus Puccinia
substriata var. indica, is one of the most important
production constraints of pearl millet worldwide,
leading to grain yield losses of up to 76 % as well as
major losses in fodder yield ...
Genome-wide development and deployment of informative intron-spanning and intron-length polymorphism markers for genomics-assisted breeding applications in chickpea
The discovery and large-scale genotyping of informative gene-based markers is essential for rapid delineation
of genes/QTLs governing stress tolerance and yield component traits in order to drive genetic
enhancement in ...
