Association of nodule performance traits with shoot performance traits of Common Bean under drought stress
The findings presented in this journal article suggest that nodule characteristics and SNF ability should be included with above- and below-ground traits as phenotypic markers in germplasm evaluation and breeding programs aimed at improving drought tolerance in common bean.
Genetics of resistance to Groundnut Rosette Virus disease
This study was conducted to better understand the genetics of inheritance of resistance to Groundnut Rosette Virus disease.
Selection of intermittent drought tolerant lines across years and locations in the reference collection of groundnut
The results presented in this paper show a close interaction between environmental conditions and the genotypic response to intermittent drought, suggesting the need to carefully choose environments that truly represent target environments.
Tropical Grain Legumes in Africa and South Asia: Knowledge and Opportunities
A report that brings together the information required to develop an effective research and development strategy for tropical legumes, reviewing trends, research impacts, and constraints in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Identification and application of phenotypic and molecular markers for abiotic stress tolerance in soybean
This article identifies and applies phenotypic and molecular markers for abiotic stress tolerance in soybean.
Characterization of drought-tolerance traits in nodulated soya beans: the importance of maintaining photosynthesis and shoot biomass under drought-induced limitations on Nitrogen metabolism
This study identified phenotypic markers for enhanced drought tolerance in nodulated soya beans. Leaf and nodule parameters were compared in three genotypes: Prima 2000, glyphosate‐resistant A5409RG, and Jackson.

Chickpea Seed Production Manual
This manual provides comprehensive information on improved seed production technologies for growing a healthy seed crop of chickpea and storage of chickpea seed. The manual will be useful to all chickpea seed growers involved in formal and informal seed systems.
Breeding peanut for resistance to Aflatoxin contamination at ICRISAT
The research presented in this paper suggests that transgenic resistance against fungal infection and aflatoxin production in combination with conventional breeding efforts may lead to the development of agronomically superior peanuts that are free of aflatoxin contamination.
