A decade of Tropical Legumes projects: Development and adoption of improved varieties, creation of market‐demand to benefit smallholder farmers and empowerment of national programmes in sub‐Saharan Africa and South Asia
This article highlights 12 years (2007–2019) of research, achievements, lessons learned, challenges and gaps in discovery‐to‐delivery research in legumes emanating from three projects, collectively called Tropical Legumes (TL) with a total investment of about US$ 67 million funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Genetics, genomics and breeding of groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.)
This review paper highlights advances in genetics, genomics, and breeding to improve the productivity of groundnut in Asia and Africa.
Groundnut entered post-genome sequencing era: opportunities and challenges in translating genomic information from genome to field
A review of the optimum genetic and genomic resources that are key for accelerating the process of trait mapping and gene discovery and deploying diagnostic markers in genomics-assisted breeding.
Capturing genetic variability and selection of traits for heat tolerance in a chickpea recombinant inbred line (RIL) population under field conditions
To assess the genetic variability and identify heat responsive traits in chickpea, a set of 296 F8–9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) of the cross ICC 4567 (heat sensitive) × ICC 15614 (heat tolerant) was evaluated under field conditions at ICRISAT, Patancheru, India.
Accelerating genetic gains in legumes for the development of prosperous smallholder agriculture: integrating genomics, phenotyping, systems modelling and agronomy
To achieve faster genetic gains in legumes in rainfed conditions, this review proposes the integration of modern genomics approaches, high throughput phenomics, and simulation modelling to support crop improvement that leads to improved varieties that perform with the appropriate agronomy.
