Rising temperatures and drought stress limit the growth production potential of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus), particularly during reproductive seed filling. The present study aimed to (i) investigate individual combined effects heat filling, (ii) determine response genotypes with contrasting sensitivity, (iii) assess any cross tolerance in genotypes. For this purpose, eight (two drought-tolerant, two drought-sensitive, heat-tolerant, heat-sensitive) were either sown at normal time (second...
Abstract Zero hunger and good health could be realized by 2030 through effective conservation, characterization utilization of germplasm resources 1 . So far, few chickpea ( Cicer arietinum ) accessions have been characterized at the genome sequence level 2 Here we present a detailed map variation in 3,171 cultivated 195 wild to provide publicly available for genomics research breeding. We constructed pan-genome describe genomic diversity across its progenitor accessions. A divergence tree...
Rising temperatures are proving detrimental for various agricultural crops. Cool-season legumes such as lentil (Lens culunaris Medik.) sensitive to even small increases in temperature during the reproductive stage, hence need explore available germplasm heat tolerance well its underlying mechanisms. In present study, a set of 38 core accessions were screened stress by sowing 2 months later (first week January; max/min >32/20°C stage) than recommended date November; <32/20°C stage). Screening...
Abstract Legumes represent the second most important family of crop plants after grasses, accounting for approximately 27% world's production. Past domestication processes resulted in a high degree relatedness between modern varieties crops, leading to narrower genetic base cultivated germplasm prone pests and diseases. Crop wild relatives (CWRs) harbor diversity tested by natural selection range environments. To fully understand exploit local adaptation CWR, studies geographical centers...
Terminal droughts, along with high temperatures, are becoming more frequent to strongly influence the seed development in cool-season pulses like lentil. In present study, lentil plants growing outdoors under natural environment were subjected following treatments at time of filling till maturity: (a) 28/23 °C day/night temperature as controls; (b) drought stressed, maintained 50% field capacity, same growth conditions a; (c) heat 33/28 temperature, and (d) + (a). Both resulted marked...
Lentil ( Lens culinaris Medikus) is a protein-rich cool-season food legume with an excellent source of protein, prebiotic carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. With climate change, heat, drought stresses have become more frequent intense in lentil growing areas strong influence on phenology, grain yield, nutritional quality. This study aimed to assess the impact heat quality lentil. For this purpose, 100 genotypes from global collection were evaluated under normal, combined heat-drought...
Abstract Grass pea ( Lathyrus sativus L.) is a rich source of protein cultivated as an insurance crop in Ethiopia, Eritrea, India, Bangladesh, and Nepal. Its resilience to both drought flooding makes it promising for ensuring food security changing climate. The lack genetic resources the crop’s association with disease neurolathyrism have limited cultivation grass pea. Here, we present annotated, long read-based assembly 6.5 Gbp L. genome. Using this genome sequence, elucidated biosynthetic...
Abstract Faba bean is an important legume crop because of its high‐yield potential and nutrition‐dense grains. There have been significant achievements in faba improvement the last four decades, which led to doubling global yield average. This study reviews genetic diversity, breeding methodologies, major achievement on biotic abiotic traits, recent molecular approaches. The high diversity among accessions has useful for increasing crop. Substantial increase can be gained through development...
Lentil, a cool-season food legume, is highly sensitive to high temperatures, which drastically reduce biomass and seed yield. The effects of heat stress on qualitative quantitative aspects seeds are not yet known.In this study, we assessed the temperatures in heat-tolerant (HT; FLIP2009) heat-sensitive (HS; IG4242) genotypes controlled environment. Initially, plants were raised natural, outdoor environment (22/10 °C mean day/night temperature, 1350 µmol m-2 s-1 light intensity, 60-65%...
High temperature and water deficit are among the major limitations reducing lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) yield in many growing regions. In addition, increasing atmospheric vapor pressure (VPD) due to global warming causes a severe challenge by influencing balance of plants, thus also affecting growth yield. present study, we evaluated 20 genotypes under field conditions controlled environments with following objectives: (i) investigate impact stress combined temperature-drought on traits...
Mungbeans and lentils are relatively easily grown cheaper sources of microgreens, but their phytonutrient diversity is not yet deeply explored. In this study, 20 diverse genotypes each mungbean lentil were as microgreens under plain-altitude (Delhi) high-altitude (Leh) conditions, which showed significant genotypic variations for ascorbic acid, tocopherol, carotenoids, flavonoid, total phenolics, DPPH (1, 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl), FRAP (ferric-reducing antioxidant power), peroxide...
High temperature during the reproductive stage limits growth and development of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus). The seed filling periods are most sensitive to heat stress, resulting in limited yield nutritional quality. Climate change causes frequent incidents stress for global food crop production. This study aimed assess impact high on grain yield, value, cooking Thirty-six genotypes were evaluated under controlled conditions their response. Genotypic variation was significant (p < 0.001)...
Declining rainfall with increasing variability, temperature extremes, and declining soil fertility are threatening crop production ultimately food security in the rainfed Mediterranean environment Morocco. Conservation agriculture (CA) practices such as reduced tillage, cover, appropriate rotation recognized a set of adaptive agricultural systems climate-sensitive regions. Systematic evaluation agronomic, economic, indicators medium-and long-term adoption CA different rotations variable...
