Reaping Cash from Improved Groundnut Farming
This video shows how the Tropical Legumes projects in Uganda helped develop and disseminate improved legume crop varieties.
How to make grain legumes great again: the 3 R4D pillars for impact
This infographic describes the three R4D pillars for improvement and dissemination of legume crop varieties.
Translational genomics for achieving higher genetic gains in groundnut
This article describes advances in translational genomics in the groundnut to facilitate faster trait dissection, gene discovery and accelerated genetic improvement for developing climate-smart varieties.
Assessment of genetic variability among groundnut accessions under natural rosette disease infestation in Malawi
Groundnut production in East and South Africa is low due to several constraints. Success in the development of resilient varieties rides on genetic diversity in available germplasm for key traits in question. This study was undertaken to dissect the magnitude of variability among groundnut accessions.
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.
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).
High-density genetic map using whole-genome resequencing for fine mapping and candidate gene discovery for disease resistance in peanut
This paper evaluates efforts to generate whole-genome resequencing data on a recombinant inbred line population, develop a SNP‐based high‐density genetic map, and conduct fine mapping, candidate gene discovery and marker validation for early leaf spot, late leaf spot, and Tomato spotted wilt virus in peanut.
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.
QTL analyses for tolerance to abiotic stresses in a common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) population
This study seeks to understand the genetics of stress tolerance, and to improve adaptation of common bean to adverse environments, by evaluating 95 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) under different abiotic stress conditions in 15 trials across four locations in Colombia.
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.
