With the rapid development of genetic analysis techniques and crop population size,
phenotyping has become the bottleneck restricting crop breeding. Breaking through this …

Improper use of water resources in irrigation that contain a significant amount of salts, faulty
agronomic practices such as improper fertilization, climate change etc. are gradually …

Salinity is a key factor limiting agricultural production worldwide. Recent advances in field
phenotyping have enabled the recording of the environmental history and dynamic …

Lentil plays an important role for food and nutritional security. It is a sustainable source of
protein, zinc, iron, prebiotic carbohydrates, and diverse health-promoting nutrients. This crop …

Crop wild relatives (CWRs), landraces and exotic germplasm are important sources of
genetic variability, alien alleles, and useful crop traits that can help mitigate a plethora of …

Among seed attributes, weight is one of the main factors determining the soybean harvest
index. Recently, the focus of soybean breeding has shifted to improving seed size and …

Background Rust is a damaging disease affecting vital crops, including pea, and identifying
highly resistant genotypes remains a challenge. Accurate measurement of infection levels in …

Genomic selection (GS) uses associations between markers and phenotypes to predict the
breeding values of individuals. It can be applied early in the breeding cycle to reduce the …

Conventional breeding techniques for crop improvement have reached their full potential,
and hence, alternative routes are required to ensure a sustained genetic gain in lentils …

A number of consequences of climate change, notably salinity, put global food security at
risk by impacting the development and production of lentils. Salinity-induced stress alters …
