Genome-wide association and genomic prediction study of elite spring bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) genotypes under drought conditions across different locations
Abiotic stress, notably drought, impacts wheat production globally, but more so in central and South Asia, North Africa (CWANA), and sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). The current study attempts to identify significant markers linked to drought and heat...
Genome wide association study of seedling and adult plant leaf rust resistance in two subsets of barley genetic resources
Leaf rust (LR) caused by Puccinia hordei is a serious disease of barley worldwide, causing significant yield losses and reduced grain quality. Discovery and incorporation of new sources of resistance from gene bank accessions into barley...
CGIAR is dedicated to creating a world where sustainable and resilient agrifood systems provide safe, healthy, and affordable diets, improve livelihoods, and ensure greater social equality while keeping within environmentally sustainable...
Prediction of pulse suitability in rice fallow areas using fuzzy AHP-based machine learning methods in Eastern India
In Eastern India, a widespread practice known as “rice fallow pulse” (RFP) involves using the soil’s remaining moisture to grow a short-duration pulse crop. For rainfed systems, it is an excellent practice of climate adaptation. To help farmers...
Anthropogenic events and responses to environmental stress are shaping the genomes of Ethiopian indigenous goats
Anthropological and biophysical processes have shaped livestock genomes over Millenia and can explain their current geographic distribution and genetic divergence. We analyzed 57 Ethiopian indigenous domestic goat genomes alongside 67...
Assessing limitations in published camel feeding studies: implications for smart feeding practices in meat and milk production
Rearing camels in intensive production systems started in the last 20 years. This led to a considerable change in camel feeding and nutrition including the use of new feeds (i.e. gains, agricultural by-products, supplements). Therefore, research...
Morphological evaluation and yield performance of lentil genotypes against stemphylium blight
Experiment was designed to screen out lentil genotypes against Stemphylium blight (SB). Thirty-five test genotypes along with one moderately susceptible popular local control ‘Moitree’ were grown under natural epiphytotic condition in the farm...
Advances in analytical techniques for assessing volatile organic compounds in pulse crops: a comprehensive review
Pulse crops, including beans, peas, chickpeas, and lentils, are vital sources of protein, fiber, and essential nutrients worldwide. They serve not only as staple foods but also as key components of sustainable agricultural practices...
