Identification of Quantitative Trait Loci Controlling Root and Shoot Traits Associated with Drought Tolerance in a Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) Recombinant Inbred Line Population
Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting lentil productivity in rainfed production systems. Specific rooting patterns can be associated with drought avoidance mechanisms that can be used in lentil breeding ...
Innovation platforms: A novel tool for improving food legume productivity and farmer’s livelihood, and enhancing food security in Morocco
Food legumes (Faba bean, lentils, chickpea and pea) are important crops that come in rotation with
cereals in the rainfed regions of Morocco where the cereal/food legume cropping system predominates.
While these crops were ...
Phenotypic and genotypic diversity for tolerance to environmental stresses in rhizobia nodulating lentil and chickpea in Morocco
Growth and productivity of lentil and chickpea in most of the growing areas is usually affected by different environmental stresses such as drought, extreme temperatures, soil pH, salinity and heavy metals in soils. These ...
Functional genetic diversity analysis and identification of associated SSRs and AFLPs markers to drought tolerance in Lentils landraces
Genetic diversity of 70 Mediterranean lentil landraces was assessed using simple sequence repeat (SSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms (AFLP). Their variation for root and shoot traits and drought tolerance was ...
Virulence and molecular diversity within Ascochyta rabiei in Moroccan population and evaluation of genotypic stability on chickpea
Ascochyta blight (Ascochyta rabiei Lab.) is an economically important fungal disease on chickpea in Morocco, and in other parts of the world. Significant progress has been made in breeding chickpea for Ascochyta blight ...
