Molecular mapping of seed protein content in pigeonpea – a drought tolerant crop of the semi-arid tropics
(: InterDrought, 2017)Pigeonpea is a uniquely drought and heat tolerant crop that provides a major source of dietary protein to nearly a billion people in the tropical and semi-arid tropics of the world. Despite its importance as a source of ... -
Plant measurements on African tropical Maesopsis eminii seedlings contradict pioneering water use behaviour
(Environmental and Experimental Botany, 2017)With increased drought events affecting forests globally, little is known about their future impact on Africa’s forests. In particular, we need to gain a better understanding of how key African forest species will respond ... -
Pyramiding Fusarium root rot resistance genes and validation of SSR PVBR87 in common bean
(RUFORUM, 2010)This study determined effectiveness of pyramided Fusarium root rot (FRR) resistance genes and validated association of SSR PVBR87 marker with FRR resistance in common bean. A double cross (DC) involving four resistance ... -
QTL-seq for the identification of candidate genes for days to flowering and leaf shape in pigeonpea
(Heredity, 2022)To identify genomic segments associated with days to flowering (DF) and leaf shape in pigeonpea, QTL-seq approach has been used in the present study. Genome-wide SNP profiling of extreme phenotypic bulks was conducted for ... -
Seed protein content and its relationships with agronomic traits in pigeonpea is controlled by both main and epistatic efects QTLs
(Scientific Reports, 2020)The genetic architecture of seed protein content (SPC) and its relationships to agronomic traits in pigeonpea is poorly understood. Accordingly, fve F2 populations segregating for SPC and four agronomic traits (seed ... -
Study of inheritance and identification of molecular markers for seed protein content in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.)
(University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, Republic of South Africa, 2017)Pigeonpea is an important source of protein to the vegetarian and poor families around the globe, however, very little is known about the genetic control of seed protein content (SPC) and how it relates with other ...
