In the present study, drought tolerance potential of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) seeds under different boron (B) levels were assessed. One (Azkan) one cultivar (Sahan) selected for genetic material. To provide condition, level polyethylene glycol solution (PEG 6000) was applied to seeds. Germination experiments performed PEG-induced stress create water poten...

Using phosphate fertilizers and wastewater as a source of irrigation residuals from industries have considerably increased the level cadmium (Cd) in soil which severely reduced growth yield crop. L-glutamic acid (L-Glu), an amino acid, plays key roles plant stress tolerance. Hence, current study was conducted to determine potential role L-Glu pre-treatment alleviating Cd-induced toxicity lentil...

Induced mutagenesis was employed to create genetic variation in the lentil cultivars for yield improvement. The assessments were made on genetic variability, character association, and genetic divergence among the twelve mutagenized populations and one parent population of each of the two lentil cultivars, developed by single and combination treatments with gamma rays and hydrazine hydrates. An...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important source of protein, starch, and mineral nutrients in many parts the world. However, impact environment cultivar on enrichment these not well understood. Four lentil cultivars (‘Avondale’, ‘CDC Richlea’, Maxim’, Imvincible’) varying color, seed size, maturity were evaluated at five Montana locations with diverse climatic soil conditions over 3 yr. Si...

Among abiotic stresses, drought is undoubtedly one of the most severe environmental factors for a wide range major crops, leading to considerable yield and economic losses. The adverse effects in crop reflect result series morphological physiological changes but also signaling pathways, transcriptional post-transcriptional regulation stress-responsive genes, metabolic adaptations. Despite exhau...
