Integrated breeding approaches for improving drought and heat adaptation in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)
A review of integrated breeding approaches that can help to develop drought- and heat-tolerant varieties of chickpea.
InDel markers: An extended marker resource for molecular breeding in chickpea
Chickpea is one of the most important food legumes that holds the key to meet rising global food and nutritional demand. In order to deploy molecular breeding approaches in crop improvement programs, user friendly and cost effective marker resources remain prerequisite. This study aims to expand marker resources for genomics assisted breeding (GAB) in chickpea.
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.
Fine-mapping of angular leaf spot resistance gene Phg-2 in common bean and development of molecular breeding tools
This study used next-generation sequencing datasets to design new SNP-based molecular markers to identify angular leaf spot (ALS) resistance in common bean.
Role of fixing nitrogen in common bean growth under water deficit conditions
This article describes a study that measured adaptive traits in N‐fixing bean lines and non-nodulating lines to explore the association of nodulation and symbiotic nitrogen fixation with the expression of traits that confer better adaptation to drought conditions.
Analyses of African common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) germplasm using a SNP fingerprinting platform: diversity, quality control and molecular breeding
This article describes a new SNP genotyping platform that has been set up that allows breeders without their own genotyping infrastructure to outsource such services to improve the efficiency and quality of seed handling activities, breeding, and seed dissemination through molecular tools.
Diallel Analysis of Early Leaf Spot (Cercospora arachidicola Hori) Disease Resistance in Groundnut
This article describes a study conducted on diallel populations from six parents to assess the mode of inheritance of early leaf spot (ELS) resistance traits.
Mitigating Aflatoxin Contamination in Groundnut through a Combination of Genetic Resistance and Post-Harvest Management Practices
This article provides an overview on the complex molecular regulatory events associated with aflatoxin resistance mechanisms in groundnut.
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.
Molecular mapping of QTLs for heat tolerance in chickpea
The present study aimed to identify QTLs associated with heat tolerance in chickpea using 292 F8-9 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) developed from the cross ICC 4567 (heat sensitive) × ICC 15614 (heat tolerant).
