In context of climate change, yield potential chickpea is hampered by heat stress. Increasing area rice fallows, shifting in cropping system and global warming, needs to identify the genotypes tolerant high temperature. With this objective an experiment was conducted during winter (rabi) season 2020–21 at seed breeding farm Jawaharlal Nehru Krishi Vishwavidyalaya, Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh rando...

Abstract This study explores the potential of Spanish germplasm for development hybrids adapted to southern Europe, a new region hybrid barley ( Hordeum vulgare ). A set 140 locally adapted, advanced breeding lines, developed in public program, were evaluated their widen available development. subset 24 lines was introduced into three‐way combinations and tested field trial network four locatio...

For many breeding companies, performance testing in maternal lines is generally confined to traits such as average daily gain (ADG), back fat (BF) and perhaps loin muscle depth or area (LMD or LMA), along with litter size traits such as number born alive (NBA) or total born (TB). More sophisticated breeding programs will also accommodate traits associated with sow performance, longevity or pigl...

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important food legume in the diet of poor people in the tropics. Drought causes severe yield loss in this crop. Identification of traits associated with drought resistance contributes to improving the process of generating bean genotypes adapted to these conditions. Field studies were conducted at the International Center for Tropical Agriculture ...
