Yield stability of legume crops is constrained by a number of pest and diseases. Major
diseases are rusts, powdery and downy mildews, ascochyta blights, botrytis gray molds …

Omics and bioinformatics are essential to understanding the molecular systems that underlie
various plant functions. Recent game-changing sequencing technologies have revitalized …

Proteomics, the large-scale study of the total complement of proteins in a given sample, has
been applied to all aspects of seed biology mainly using model species such as Arabidopsis …

The crop legumes such as chickpea, common bean, cowpea, peanut, pigeonpea, soybean,
etc. are important sources of nutrition and contribute to a significant amount of biological …

Photosynthesis in fruits is well documented, but its contribution to seed development and
yield remains largely unquantified. In oilseeds, the pods are green and elevated with direct …

Lotus japonicus is a model species for legume genomics. To accelerate legume functional
genomics, we developed a L otus japonicus G ene E xpression A tlas (L j GEA), which …

The cultivation of most legumes, aims to the production of either dry seeds consumed by
humans, also known as pulses, or animal fodder. However, some legumes are cultivated for …

Angiosperms are the most diverse and numerous group of plants, and it is generally
accepted that this evolutionary success owes in part to the diversity found in fruits, key for …

Legumes are the major sources of food and fodder with strong commercial relevance, and
are essential components of agricultural ecosystems owing to their ability to carry out …

We have studied the role (s) of maturation drying in the acquisition of germinability, seedling
vigor and pathogen resistance by comparing the proteome changes in maize embryo and …
