The genetic and phenotypic characterization of crops allows us to elucidate their evolutionary domestication history, the basis important traits, use variation present in landraces wild relatives enhance resilience. In this context, we aim provide an overview main resources developed for lentil outcomes, suggest protocols continued work on crop. Lens culinaris is third-most-important cool-seaso...

The lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is an important cool-season crop and a valuable source of dietary protein and ranks seventh among grain legumes. Genotype by environment (GE) interaction is considered to be among the major factors limiting the efficiency of breeding programs. Eight improved lentil genotypes from the International Centre for Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA), one...

sion problems are increasingly severe (Küsmenoğlu and Muehlbauer, 1998). Domestication and subsequent genetic enhancement in lentil (Lens Individual lentil plants are typically short with slender culinaris Medik.) have involved changes in plant structure and DM stems and so crop stands produce small amounts of distribution. These changes were examined using a ‘‘genetic gradient’’ comprising thr...

Ascochyta blight of lentil is a prevalent disease in many lentil producing regions and can cause major yield and grain quality losses. The most environmentally acceptable and economically profitable method of control is to develop varieties with high levels of durable resistance. Genetic studies to date suggest that ascochyta blight resistance genes (R-gene) in lentil lines CDC Robin, ILL 7537,...

In present study a proline rich protein has been identified in lentil EST database using (soyabean) glycine max proline rich protein sequence as query sequence known to be down regulated in response to salinity and drought stress. Sequence similarity search has shown 90 % similarity with chickpea EST sequence Accesion no. GR 398344 and 85% similarity with Lens culinaris EST sequence Accession n...

This study surveyed a rapid, efficient and reproducible protocol for in vitro shoot regeneration and rooting by different explants and different concentration of BAP. Due to optimization of shoot regeneration, two media including of MS and modified MS (MS salts with double concentration of CaC21, and B5 vitamins), different explants such as decapitated embryo axes, epicotyls and cotyledonary no...
