Microgreens belong to a class of functional foods with valuable nutritional elements and diverse health benefits when consumed as food supplements. Its consumption has increased sharply due the abundance different health-promoting components than their mature plants. The present study investigated growth conditions profiles six crops (mungbean, lentil, red radish, pearl-millet, mustard, cabbage) microgreens grown under light 16 h light/8 dark cycle. Firstly, optimum temperature day...
Rust caused by Uromyces viciae-fabae is a major biotic constraint to field pea (Pisum sativum L.) cultivation worldwide. Deployment of host-pathogen interaction and resistant phenotype modest strategy for controlling this intricate disease. However, resistance against pathogen partial influenced environmental factors. Therefore, the magnitude genotype-by-environment was assessed understand dynamism identification durable genotypes, as well ideal testing locations rust screening through...
Agricultural scientists face the dual challenge of breeding input-responsive, widely adoptable and climate-resilient varieties crop plants developing such at a faster pace. Integrating gains genomics with modern-day phenomics will lead to increased efficiency which in turn offers great promise develop rapidly. Plant phenotyping techniques have impressively evolved during last two decades. The low-cost, automated semi-automated methods for data acquisition, storage analysis are now available...
Abstract Grain legumes, the important constituents of sustainability‐based cropping systems and energy‐limited vegetarian diets have long been subject scientific research. Tremendous technological strides were made in so‐called orphan crops, terms both varietal improvement generation basic information. Despite recalcitrancy high genotype dependency, vitro culture techniques such as organogenesis, mutagenesis, embryo rescue gene transfer deployed for several grain legumes these played an role...
Greengram is an important protein-rich food legume crop. During the reproductive stage, high temperatures cause flower drop, induce male sterility, impair anthesis, and shortens grain-filling period. Initially, 116 genotypes were evaluated for 3 years in two locations, based on flowering, biomass, yield attributes, they grouped into four major clusters. A panel of 17 contrasting was selected their heat tolerance high-temperature greenhouses. The seedlings exposed to shock range 37°C-52°C...
Abstract Cultivation of the same varieties mungbean and blackgram across different seasons locations is constrained by their photo‐ thermo‐sensitive behaviour. Developing insensitive genotypes, which can fit well all seasons, requires robust donors would provide genes imparting this trait. This study was undertaken to identify such in Vigna species. Forty‐eight accessions belonging 13 species eight released cultivars were evaluated under natural field conditions. Among these, two accessions,...
Abstract Yellow mosaic disease ( YMD ) is the major constraint of mungbean for realizing high productivity worldwide. Moreover, management using ‐resistant genotypes simplest approach. Therefore, based on a preliminary screening 220 during year 2010 and 2011 at 17 locations, set 25 was further selected to evaluate six locations over 2 years identification more stable resistant genotypes. The genotype × environment GGE analysis indicated that effects were significant (P < 0.001) incidence....
Abstract Susceptibility to root-knot nematodes ( Meloidogyne spp.) is one of the major factors limiting mungbean production in South and South-East Asia. Host-pest-environment interaction nematode M . incognita ) was investigated multi-location field evaluation using 38 promising genotypes extracted from initial 250 under sick plots considering second stage freshly hatched juvenile as inoculants. The extent environmental genotype-by-environment interactions (GGE) assessed comprehend dynamism...
Mungbean is an important food grain legume for human nutrition and nutritional due to its nutrient-dense seed, liked palatability, high digestibility. However, anti-nutritional factors pose a significant risk improving quality bio-fortification. In the present study, genetic architecture of micronutrients (grain iron zinc concentration) phytic acid tannin content) in association mapping panel 145 diverse mungbean were evaluated. Based on all four parameters genotypes PUSA 1333 IPM 02-19...
Lentil rust incited by the fungus Uromyces viciae-fabae is a major impedance to lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) production globally. Host-plant resistance most reliable, efficient and viable strategy among various approaches control this disease. In study, 26 genotypes comprising advanced breeding lines released varieties along with susceptible check were evaluated consecutively for under natural incidence two years at five test locations in India. A heritability-adjusted genotype main effect...
Abstract Cercospora leaf spot ( canescens ) is a major fungal disease which impedes mungbean production worldwide. Presence of wider host range with existence pathogenic variability creates intricacy towards host‐pathogen dynamics. Moreover, environmental factors having crucial role in augmenting severity this further complicate management. An attempt has been made for unfolding genotype x environment interactions identifying and validating durable resistant genotypes against cercospora...
Yellow mosaic disease (YMD) caused by several begomoviruses is one of the major constraints over a dozen leguminous crops worldwide, particularly in Asian and Southeast countries. The present study aimed to investigate distribution, diversity prevalence associated with YMD hosts five agro-climatic zones India, assess extent their geographical presence develop location crop-specific distribution maps. One hundred seventy-four plant samples were tested from 32 locations India detect...
Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the impact of diverse environments on agronomic traits small‐seeded lentils in India and identify strategic environment(s) for crop improvement using empirical approaches. Sixteen lentil genotypes were tested across 16 locations, covering North Hill Zone (NHZ), Western Plain (NWPZ), Eastern (NEPZ). Crop yield exhibited a quadratic response maximum temperature during flowering (TMAX F ) minimum reproductive period (TMIN RP ), indicating that both higher...
