TL;DR: The use of integrated genomics and breeding approach in these legume crops to enhance crop productivity in marginal environments ensuring food security in developing countries is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drought tolerance in rice: morphological and molecular genetic consideration
Alagu Manickavelu,Alagu Manickavelu,N. Nadarajan,S. K. Ganesh,R. P. Gnanamalar,R. Chandra Babu +5 more
TL;DR: Correlation and path analysis indicated that, to harness high yielding combined with drought tolerance breeders should give selection pressure on relative water content, panicle length, grains per panicle, harvest index, biomass yield, root/shoot ratio and root length in positive direction, and low scores of leaf rolling, leaf drying and drought recovery rate.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomics‑assisted breeding in four major pulse crops of developing countries: present status and prospects
Abhishek Bohra,Manish K. Pandey,Uday C. Jha,Balwant Singh,I. P. Singh,Dibendu Datta,Sushil K. Chaturvedi,N. Nadarajan,Rajeev K. Varshney,Rajeev K. Varshney +9 more
TL;DR: Genomics-assisted breeding (GAB) is anticipated to speed up the progress of genetic improvement of pulses, leading to the rapid development of cultivars with higher yield, enhanced stress tolerance and wider adaptability.
