Abstract In the absence of previous molecular characterization, we assessed genetic diversity 53 Moroccan lentil landraces including two local cultivars using simple sequence repeat ( SSR ) and amplified fragment length polymorphisms AFLP ). Nineteen s yielded 213 alleles, seven primer combinations gave 766 fragments which 422 were polymorphic. Moderate to high variation was observed. Several small groups differentiated. Interestingly, one smallest contained short‐cycle with early vegetative...
ABSTRACT Chickpea is generally grown on marginal soils around the world, where it depends mainly residual moisture. The recurrent scarcity of rainfall hampers production and reduces grain yields. In face this changing climate, genotypes with well‐developed root systems might contribute to stabilization yield under drought conditions. So fundamental aim our study combine performance attributes a prolific system in order identify drought‐tolerant genotypes. Thus, large collection chickpeas...
Biofortification is a promising and sustainable way to improve lentil nutritional value. No-till an eco-friendly agricultural practice for production under climate change conditions. The objective of this study was evaluate the genetic variation grain quality traits no-till conventional tillage systems, investigate significance genotype by interaction. A Mediterranean collection 120 accessions, including landraces, advanced breeding lines, local varieties, improved varieties assessed...
Transitioning to conservation agriculture is proving be a better alternative and could become the norm in future. Morocco, geographically located hot spot, much more vulnerable hazards of climate change advantages remain good compromise ensure sustainable agricultural production. However, lack sufficient knowledge about this technology hindrance thus create mistrust among farmers. Therefore, objective our study evaluate performance collection chickpeas each tillage system identify genotypes...
Lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important grain legume worldwide. It contributes to sustain farming through its ability fix N in soils and enhance human nutrition health thanks nutritionally rich grains. In Morocco, it consumed as staple food by a large proportion of the population. However, country depends on importation meet national demand at cost losing valuable currencies. One factors limiting lentil production Morocco availability use certified seeds improved varieties. this...
Abstract The use of high‐performing varieties could contribute to increase food legume production and meet the population demand. However, long process conventional breeding is a serious limitation that needs further acceleration genetic improvement. Speed based on extended photoperiod one techniques allows rapid generation turnover by accelerating plant life cycle. present study focused optimizing duration for lentil, chickpea faba bean in growth chamber with light‐emitting diode (LED)...
Abstract The Mediterranean region has a rich history of domestication and cultivation lentil ( Lens culinaris Medik.). Landraces have been grown repeatedly selected by local farmers under different agro-environments. Characterization molecular variation genetic differentiation helps to ensure enhanced valorization, conservation use these resources. Nineteen Simple Sequence Repeat DNA markers were used for variance analysis (AMOVA) population structure assessment underlying 74 landraces from...
Lentil ( Lens culinaris Medikus subsp. ) is one of the oldest food legumes and third most important in Morocco. It provides a valuable balanced protein source human diet plays an role cropping systems because its ability to fix nitrogen. The productivity crop suffers numerous biotic abiotic factors. High‐yielding cultivars with improved characteristics are needed increase lentil production profitability. ‘Chakkouf’ (Reg. No. CV‐34, PI 663991) was developed using both modified pedigree bulk...
Drought stress is one of the major factors limiting growth and development legumes. In order to improve water deficit tolerance this crop, several techniques have been put into practice such as seed priming or selection tolerant genotypes stress. 2020, field experiment was conducted assess drought thirty-six chickpea (<i>C. arietinum</i>) by analyzing behaviour certain physiological biochemical parameters plants harvested in a randomized experiment. The analysed presented diversity behavior...
