Cowpea ( Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) is a multi‐use crop highly valued as a food crop, high‐protein fodder, and sustainable cover crop. Yet, it remains underused, and yields in most growing regions are below the crop's potential due to multiple biotic and abiotic stresses. Recent advances in genomics and pheno...
Pulses have a vital and diverse role in agricultural systems and the food habits of people around the world. Among them, cowpea is a traditional and important pulse crop. It is a potential source of vegetable protein for the majority of Kerala's population. Crop improvement programmes aim to breed crops for diverse obj...
Cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) is a tropical crop of major socioeconomic importance, whose productivity can be limited by sensitivity to herbicides used for weed management. This study aimed to perform a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 194 cassava genotypes to identify genomic regions associated with tolera...
A field experiment was conducted during the rabi season of 2024–25 at the All India Coordinated Research Project on Vegetable Crops, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology, Bhubaneswar to evaluate advanced breeding lines of brinjal for round fruit shape, yield potential and tolerance to bacterial wilt. The stu...
The results demonstrate that NFNB resistance is polygenic and developmentally stage-dependent, with partly distinct mechanisms underlying adult plant and seedling resistance, with partly distinct mechanisms underlying adult plant and seedling resistance.
Background: Pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.] being an often cross- pollinated crop offers a wide range of genetic diversity which gives a tremendous scope for genetic improvement of economic traits. Improvement in yield and quality traits in pigeonpea is normally achieved by selecting the genotypes with desirable...
