Seed size (determined by 100-seed weight) is an
important component of trade and yield in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). The present investigation was undertaken to
study the possibility of maternal inheritance for seed size and to estimate relative...
An experiment was carried out at the Pulse Research Sub-Station (PRSS), Madaripur, Bangladesh during three subsequent years of 2008-2009, 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 to screen out the suitable high yielding chickpea varieties that performed best against...
Seedling assessment of 13 stem rust samples collected from southwest of Iran revealed that three collections were virulent for Sr31 and Sr38. Physiological races of RTRTC, HRCTC, RRTTF, TTPTC, TTTQF, JTHTC and TTKSK were identified for nine...
Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction analysis with two primer sets of luteoviruses was used to characterize an isolate of Chickpea chlorotic stunt virus (CpCSv, genus Polerovirus, family Luteoviridae) (SC402-08) collected from Lattakia...
‘FIGS’: A more precise approach to mining agricultural gene banks.
This report presents the possibilities of ‘FIGS’, a new technique for searching agricultural genebanks, that helps crop breeders and their managers achieve faster and better targeted...
Information on the variation available for different plant attributes has enabled germplasm collections to be effectively utilised in crop improvement. This study evaluated 380 durum wheat landraces, representing a worldwide durum wheat collection...
Efficient methods to explore plant agro-biodiversity for climate change adaptive traits are urgently required. The focused
identification of germplasm strategy (FIGS) is one such approach. FIGS works on the premise that germplasm is likely to
reflect...
