Pigeonpea improvement: An amalgam of breeding and genomic research
This paper emphasizes the ongoing genetic improvement in pigeonpea with an amalgam of conventional breeding as well as genomic research.
Toward the sequence-based breeding in legumes in the post-genome sequencing era
This this article, the authors propose a sequence-based breeding approach which includes use of independent or combination of parental selection, enhancing genetic diversity of breeding programs, forward breeding for early generation selection, and genomic selection using sequencing/genotyping technologies.
Genetic imprints of domestication for disease resistance, oil quality, and yield component traits in groundnut
This article analyses how the difference in ploidy between the wild groundnut species, Arachis, and cultivated genotypes hinder the transfer of useful alleles for agronomically important traits.
Genomics, genetics and breeding of tropical legumes for better livelihoods of smallholder farmers
A review of a decade of significant research and development work on important grain legumes through collaborative bilateral and multilateral projects as well as the CGIAR Research Program on Grain Legumes.
Genome-wide discovery and deployment of insertions and deletions markers provided greater insights on species, genomes, and sections relationships in the genus Arachis
This study provides significant insights into the phylogenetic relationship among accessions, genomes, sub species and sections. These InDel markers are a useful resource for the groundnut research community – for genetic analysis and breeding applications.
Genome-wide SNP genotyping resolves signatures of selection and tetrasomic recombination in peanut
To facilitate high-throughput genotyping of Arachis species, 20 genotypes were re-sequenced and genome-wide single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were selected to develop a large-scale SNP genotyping array.
Development and evaluation of a high density genotyping ‘Axiom_Arachis’ array with 58K SNPs for accelerating genetics and breeding in groundnut
The article discusses the development of a high-density SNP array ‘Axiom_Arachis’ with 58 K SNPs and deminstrates its utility in a groundnut genetic diversity study.
Breeding tropical legume crops for resilient cropping systems in Sub-Saharan Africa
This poster abstract summarizes the achievements of CGIAR centers and national research partners, who have with the support of the Tropical Legumes project enhanced legume crop production in Sub-Saharan Africa through the use of genetic technology.
Legume breeding and seed systems for improved livelihoods and impact
This abstract summarises the aims and achievements of the Tropical Legumes project with national breeding programs to develop improved groundnut varieties by identifying sources of resistance, developing populations, evaluating in target environments, and releasing improved farmer-preferred varieties for production.
Advances in groundnut breeding for drought prone West and Central Africa
This poster abstract summarizes ICRISAT’s work through the Tropical Legumes project with national breeding programs to develop improved groundnut varieties by identifying sources of resistance, developing populations, evaluating in target environments, and releasing improved farmer-preferred varieties for production.
