Improving Drought-Avoidance Root Traits in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) -Current Status of Research at ICRISAT

Plant Production Science, 2008
Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), an important food legume grown in the semi-arid tropical and Mediterranean regions, suffers substantial yield loss due to drought at the end of the growing season (terminal drought), as the crop is largely grown rainfed in ...

Genome-wide association study and expression of candidate genes for Fe and Zn concentration in sorghum grains

Scientific Reports
Sorghum germplasm showed grain Fe and Zn genetic variability, but a few varieties were biofortified with these minerals. This work contributes to narrowing this gap.

Validation of sorghum quality control (QC) markers across African breeding lines

The Plant Genome
Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is a cereal crop of critical importance in the semi‐arid tropics, particularly in Africa where it is second only to maize (Zea mays L.) by area of cultivation.
