ABSTRACT Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop of family Pedaliaceae, known for its quality oil, supplemented with dietary advantages due to the presence of bioactive compounds like sesamin and sesamolin. Phyllody and dry root rot (DRR) are the two major biotic stress factors that cause significant yield reduction and economic loss in ...

Global gene expression analysis of pigeonpea with male sterility conditioned by A2 cytoplasm
Cytoplasmic male sterility(CMS), a maternally inherited trait, provides a promising means to harness yield gains associated with hybrid vigor. In pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Huth], nine types of sterility‐inducing cytoplasm have been reported, of which

Inheritance of Growth Habit in Pigeonpea [PDF]
Determinate (DT) pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] has a production advantage but the genetics of this trait and indeterminate (IDT)and semideterminate (SDT) growth habits are not well defined. Inheritance of DT, SDT, and IDT growth habits in short duration pigeonpea was studied in F1, F2, and BC1F1 generations of 15 crosses involving six parents (

Oviposition and larval establishment of three ‘generalist’ noctuids on Capsicum annuum
Abstract Understanding the oviposition and foraging behaviour of pestiferous lepidopterans on their economically important food plants guides the development of effective pest management tactics. Here, we examined the oviposition behaviour and larval establishment of three noctuid species on a single crop—capsicum (Capsicum annuum).

Linking the ICRISAT Genebank to Poverty Reduction and Welfare in Malawi
ABSTRACT Genebanks contribute to the development of improved crop varieties through the conservation and supply of diverse germplasm for use in agricultural research by scientists, such as plant breeders. Tracing their contribution to the welfare and poverty impacts of improved varieties on smallholder farmers presents multiple challenges, as the ...

The Brine-Grading of Pigeonpeas
The possibility of using brine-grading to improve the quality of canned pigeonpeas by separating the overmature yellow from the more tender green pigeonpeas was investigated. The results obtained show that brine-grading separated pigeonpeas into two groups, floaters and sinkers, the floaters being less developed than the sinkers, which were the more ...

Evaluation of pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) genotypes against pigeonpea sterility mosaic disease
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is a drought-resistant pulse crop cultivated in the semi-arid regions of the world. Sterility mosaic disease (SMD) also known as “green plague of pigeonpea” is one of the severe threats in pigeonpea production causing severe yield loss.

Tissue Culture of Cowpea and Pigeonpea [PDF]
Tissue culture of four cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) and two pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) genotypes was tested on Blaydes' medium supplemented with different hormone concentrations. Explants of cotyledonary nodes, cotyledons and leaves of the cowpea genotype IT82E-16, IT64E-124, Pinkeye Purple Hull and MN13 produced callus after 4 weeks in Blaydes' medium ...
