Inheritance of Resistance to Sorghum Shoot Fly, Atherigona soccata in Sorghum, Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Host plant resistance is one of the major components to control sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata. To understand the nature of gene action for inheritance of shoot fly resistance, we evaluated 10 parents, 45 F1’s and their reciprocals in replicated ...

Genomics-assisted breeding for boosting crop improvement in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Pigeonpea is an important pulse crop grown predominantly in the tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. Although pigeonpea growing area has considerably increased, yield has remained stagnant for the last six decades mainly due to the exposure of

Root Anatomical Traits and Their Possible Contribution to Drought Tolerance in Grain Legumes

Plant Production Science, 2013
Legumes are mostly grown rainfed and are exposed to various types of drought ranging from terminal drought to intermittent drought. The objective of this study was to compare the root anatomy of six major legume crops in relation to their drought ...

Mapping quantitative trait loci controlling high Fe and Zn density in self and open pollinated grains of pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
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 will be possible to improve grain ...

High resolution mapping of restoration of fertility (Rf) by combining large population and high density genetic map in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp]

BMC Genomics, 2020
Background Restoration of fertility (Rf) is an important trait for pigeonpea hybrid breeding. Few coarse quantitative trait locus (QTL) studies conducted in the past identified QTLs with large confidence intervals on the genetic map and could not provide

Rapid generation advancement of RIL population and assessing the impact of Rhizobium nodulation on crop yields in Chickpea

Scientific Reports
Chickpea, a widely cultivated legume, actively fix atmospheric nitrogen in root nodules through a symbiotic relationship with rhizobia bacteria. A recombinant inbred line (RIL) population, progressing from F2 to F7 generations, was developed in a short ...

Gene expression and yeast two-hybrid studies of transcription factors mediating drought stress response in root tissues of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2015
Drought stress has been one of the serious constraints affecting chickpea productivity to a great extent. Genomic assisted breeding in chickpea has been effective in providing a yield advantage of up to 24 %, thus having a potential to accelerate ...
