Groundnut is cultivated in more than 100 countries around the world, over a area of 25.4 m ha with total production of 45.22 m t (FAO, 2014). New groundnut varieties should meet the requirements of growers, processors and consumers. Hence, combining desirable traits into a single genotype is the main goal of breeding programs. Foliar fungal diseases especially late leaf spot and rust can cause yield losses of 50–70% in groundnut, along with adverse effects on the quality of the produce.

Weeds are unwanted plant species growing in ordinary environment. In nature there are a total of 8000 weed species out of which 250 are important for agriculture world. The present study was carried out on weed species composition and distribution pattern with special reference to edaphic factor and farming practices in maize crop of District Mardan during the months of August and September, 2014. Quadrates methods were used to assess weed species distribution in relation to edaphic factor and farming practices. Phytosociological attributes such as frequency, relative frequency, density, relative density and Importance Values were measured by placing 9 quadrates (1 × 1 m2) randomly in each field. Initial results showed that the study area has 29 diverse weed species belonging to 27 genera and 15 families distributed in 585 quadrats. Presence and absence data sheet of 29 weed species and 65 fields were analyzed through PC-ORD version 5. Cluster and Two Way Cluster Analyses initiated four different weed communities with significant indicator species and with respect to underlying environmental variables using data attribute plots. Canonical Correspondence Analyses (CCA) of CANOCO software version 4.5 was used to assess the environmental gradients of weed species. It is concluded that among all the edaphic factors the strongest variables were higher concentration of potassium, organic matter and sandy nature of soil. CCA plots of both weed species and sampled fields based on questionnaire data concluded the farming practices such as application of fertilizers, irrigation and chemical spray were the main factors in determination of weed communities.

A total of 64 test-crosses generated by crossing 32 elite maize inbred lines with two testers and two standard checks were evaluated for grain yield and yield related traits in 6×11 alpha lattice design replicated twice during 2017 cropping season at Bako National Maize Research Center of Ethiopia with the objective of estimating general and specific combining ability effects of the inbred lines for grain yield and yield related traits. Analysis of variance indicated highly significant mean squares due to genotypes for all the studied traits. Mean squares due to line general combining ability (GCA) were significant for all studied traits whereas, mean square due to tester GCA was significant for all traits, except number of kernels per row and grain yield. Mean squares due to specific combining ability (SCA) effects were significant (P<0.01 or P<0.05) for biomass yield, number of ears per plant and thousand kernel weight. Generally, mean squares due to both lines and testers GCA and SCA of line × tester interactions were significant for grain yield and most yield related traits indicating the importance of both additive and non-additive gene actions in controlling these traits.

Karnal bunt (KB) disease is one of the most important challenges posed on of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) industry of Pakistan because of itsinclusionin quarantine list around the globe. This disease is caused by the fungus Tilletia indica M. (Neovossia indica). It affects the grain quality of wheat and hampers its movement in international market resulting in economic losses. Presence of >3% infected grains in wheat lot makes it unsuitable for human consumption. Eradication of this disease is very difficult as no resistant cultivar has been found against KB in Pakistan so far. Genome wide association study (GWAS) was conducted on a set of 199 wheat germplasm collected from Pakistan. In this study 31,000 single nucleotide polymorphism markers were developed by 90K SNP array technology. A linear mixed model in GWAS, accounting for population structure, was fitted to identify significant genomic regions [-log(P) ≥ 4.0] on 6 different chromosomes i.e. 1A, 1D, 2D, 3B, 4A, 5A with novel loci. Candidate genes, through wheat genome assembly, were identified as putative genes related to KB resistance including kinase like protein family. The results of this study can be useful in wheat breeding through marker assisted selection for KB resistant varieties.

Principal Component Analysis for Evaluation of Guinea grass (Panicum maximum...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— The present study was conducted to study the variability among the genotypes by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) in order to select those that are most suitable for breeding programme. This study included ten quantitative traits. The result of principal component analysis showed that the first four principal components with Eigen value greater than 0.88 contributed about 76.10 per cent of total variation in the population. The variability of the genotypes was interpreted based on four principal components, the first principal component described the yield level, the second principal component described the productivity and quality and the last two principal components described the quality of the fodder which indicating that the identified traits within the axes exhibited great influence on the phenotype and this could be effectively used for selection among the tested entries for further development of Guinea grass varieties with improved fodder yield and quality.

This document summarizes a study investigating combining ability in forage sorghum across locations and years in Sudan. The study involved crossing 4 local tester stocks with 7 exotic line stocks to generate 28 hybrids. The hybrids and parents were evaluated over two years at two locations for forage yield, flowering time, plant height, stem diameter, and leaf-to-stem ratio. Significant general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) effects were detected for most traits. Both additive and non-additive gene actions were important for trait expression. GCA effects were more stable over years than SCA effects. The study identified parental lines and testers with desirable GCA effects for yield and flowering time.
Presentation on gca and sca
This document discusses general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) in plant breeding. GCA is due to additive genetic effects and refers to a genotype's average performance in crosses. SCA is due to non-additive genetic effects and refers to when certain crosses perform better or worse than expected. GCA is estimated using half-sib mating and helps identify best parents for hybridization. SCA is estimated using full-sib mating and helps identify best cross combinations. The document outlines procedures for estimating and utilizing GCA and SCA over multiple generations or seasons in plant breeding programs.
EFFECTIVENESS OF PRESCRIPTION FUNGICIDE PROGRAMS BASED ON THE 2008 PEANUT RX ...
Peanut growers must find acceptable means to optimize yields while minimizing costs associated with production. Disease management using fungicides is the single greatest expense associated with peanut production in Georgia. Prescription fungicide programs coupled with the disease risk index �Peanut Rx� can help growers to more precisely determine the optimal number of fungicide applications needed to control disease and maximize profits. Peanut research plots were established on the Riverbottom Farms in Lanier County, GA to assess the effectiveness of prescription programs and use of Headline (pyraclostrobin) to manage foliar and soilborne diseases of peanut. Using the 2008 Peanut Fungal Disease Risk Index, the field site was determined to be at low-to-moderate risk (non-irrigated, long rotation, twin-row minimum tillage, Georgia Green variety) for fungal diseases. Various fungicide programs included in the study were Folicur, Headline-Folicur, Artisan, Headline-Artisan, Abound, Provost, Evito and Chlorothalonil. Research plots were managed according to production practices recommended by the University of Georgia Cooperative Extension. Severity of leaf spot in this study was not statistically different among all treatments. There were numerical differences in white mold hits between treatments; however, none were statistically significant. There were statistical differences in yields between treatments. Abound and Headline-Folicur programs produced the highest yields. Chlorothalonil treatment which received no soilborne fungicides produced the lowest yields. There were no statistical differences in the other treatments.
Inheritance of soybean resistance to soybean rust in Uganda’s soybean germplasm
Understanding the genetic mechanisms of soybean rust resistance is important for effective selection and breeding procedures. This study was hence conducted to determine the combining ability and gene action controlling soybean rust using a 10×10 half diallel mating design. The F2 segregating populations along with their parents were evaluated for rust severity and sporulation level at two reproductive stages (R4 and R6) in screen house and field conditions during the second season of 2016 and first season of 2017 at MUARIK using an alpha lattice design replicated thrice. Significant differences were observed among the parents and F2 generations for both disease severity and sporulation level. General and specific combining abilities were highly significant. The GCA/SCA ratio (1.50-2.30) and the Baker’s ratio (0.75-0.82) showed the predominance of additive gene action in the inheritance of soybean rust resistance. The broad-sense (0.94-0.99) and narrow-sense (0.73-0.82) heritability estimates indicated the possibility of improving resistance to soybean rust through selection in the early generations. UG 5, Maksoy 3N, Maksoy 4N and Maksoy 5N had negative GCA effects. The F2 populations derived from these parents crossed with Wonder soya and Nam 2 had also negative SCA effects. The use of these parents and F2 populations can, therefore, increase the response to selection for improving resistance to soybean rust.

This study evaluated four male sterile sorghum lines and twelve testers in a line x tester crossing design along with their 48 crosses for days to flowering, maturity, and grain yield. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among lines, testers, and their interactions for all traits. For general combining ability, line RMS 2010-10A and tester RSV 1941 showed positive and significant effects for increasing grain yield while decreasing days to flowering and maturity. These parents are recommended for use in breeding programs to develop high yielding and early maturing rabi sorghum hybrids that can escape terminal drought stress.
Inheritance of Resistance to Sorghum ShootFly, Atherigona soccata in Sorghum,...
Sorghum production is affected by a wide array of biotic constraints, of which sorghum shootf ly, Atherigona soccata is the most important pest, which severely damages the sorghum crop during the seedlings stage. Host plant resistance is one of the major components to control sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata. To understand the nature of gene action for inheritance of shoot fly resistance, we evaluated 10parents, 45F1’s and their reciprocals in replicated trials during the rainy and post rainy seasons. The genotypes ICSV700, Phule Anuradha, ICSV25019, PS35805, IS2123, IS2146, and IS18551 exhibited resistance to shoot fly damage across seasons. Crosses between susceptible parents were preferred for egg laying by the shoot fly females, resulting in a susceptible reaction. ICSV700, ICSV25019, PS35805, IS2123, IS2146, and IS18551 exhibited significant and negative general combining ability (gca) effects for oviposition, deadheart incidence, and overall resistance score.

Evidence of natural hybridization and introgression between Medicago ciliaris...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract—The present study, investigated some reproductive and fertility parameters in some wild populations, originating from the North Tunisia (4 populations of Medicago ciliaris and 3 populations of Medicago intertexta). Previous finding revealed that these species are genetically distinct and easily recognized by the number of flowers per inflorescence and pod dimensions. However, biometrical traits and isozyme patterns intermediacy between these two species had detected the existence of a potential spontaneous interspecific hybrid originating from Sedjnane locality in Tunisia. Indeed, the present work has shown significant decrease of pollen fertility and seed production for this population when compared to the others (pollen viability 75%, pollen germinability 8% and pod production=9%). These results suggested a possible natural interspecific hybrid and confirming introgressive hybridization possibility between M. intertexta and M. ciliaris.MAS ( Marker Assisted Selection)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a plant breeding method that uses molecular markers linked to traits of interest to guide selection for desirable crop traits. It allows breeders to select plants earlier in the breeding cycle compared to phenotypic selection alone. MAS has advantages like being unaffected by environmental conditions and enabling selection for recessive traits. However, it also has drawbacks like being more expensive than conventional techniques and the possibility of recombination between markers and traits. Careful analysis of costs and benefits is needed to determine when MAS is advantageous compared to conventional breeding methods.

Richer agb poster nacaa 2015
This study evaluated the efficacy of three soil-applied insecticides - Lorsban or Empower, Capture LFR, and an untreated control - on controlling Asiatic Garden Beetle larvae and protecting corn yield over three farms in Fulton County, Ohio in 2014. Randomized block trials were established with four replicates of each treatment. While AGB larvae were found between and within rows on all farms, yields varied substantially between farms but showed no significant differences between insecticide treatments within each farm. The insecticides did not increase yield over the untreated control despite visible damage to corn plants from AGB larvae, possibly due to compensation from undamaged plants. Further studies over multiple years are needed.

In the substitution of chemical insecticides with potential biopesticides, the efficiency of Lippia multiflora, Plectranthus glandulosus and Callistemon rigidus were evaluated on the improvement of cowpea (Vinia unguiculata) in Dang (Ngaoundere, Cameroon). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with 5 treatments repeated 4 times each: the negative control, the positive control (Decis), L. multiflora, P. glandulosus and C. rigidus. These different insecticides were sprayed on cowpea plants with 14 days interval starting from the 14th day after sowing. The parameters collected were the diversity of insect pests, the number of pods, and the dry weight of the grains. All of the insecticides used improved cowpea yields. Although less efficient than Decis, most biopesticides significantly (p < 0.001) improved the yield of cowpeas compared to the negative control. This improvement was 260% for C. rigidus, and 120% for P. glandulosus. These results suggest that C. rigidus, P. glandulosus and L. multiflora could be considered as potential substitutes for chemical insecticides in improving cowpea yields.

MABC approach combines early maturity and foliar fungal disease resistance
The MABC approach was used to introgress a major QTL from donor parent GPBD 4 that confers resistance to rust (>80% phenotypic variance) and late leaf spot (65% phenotypic variance) diseases into three popular groundnut varieties - TAG 24, JL 24, and ICGV 91114. Over 200 introgression lines were evaluated for foliar disease resistance at ICRISAT between 2013-2014. The best 57 lines were further evaluated in multi-location yield trials between 2015-2016. The 12 top performing lines were included in national-level trials under AICRP-G between 2016-2017, making them the first ever Near Isogenic Lines for foliar disease resistance in groundnut.

Severity of leaf spot in this study was not statistically different among all treatments. There were numerical differences in white mold hits between treatments; however, none were statistically significant. There were statistical differences in yields between treatments. Abound and Headline-Folicur programs produced the highest yields. Chlorothalonil treatment which received no soilborne fungicides produced the lowest yields. There were no statistical differences in the other treatments.
Inheritance of soybean resistance to soybean rust in Uganda’s soybean germplasm
Understanding the genetic mechanisms of soybean rust resistance is important for effective selection and breeding procedures. This study was hence conducted to determine the combining ability and gene action controlling soybean rust using a 10×10 half diallel mating design. The F2 segregating populations along with their parents were evaluated for rust severity and sporulation level at two reproductive stages (R4 and R6) in screen house and field conditions during the second season of 2016 and first season of 2017 at MUARIK using an alpha lattice design replicated thrice. Significant differences were observed among the parents and F2 generations for both disease severity and sporulation level. General and specific combining abilities were highly significant. The GCA/SCA ratio (1.50-2.30) and the Baker’s ratio (0.75-0.82) showed the predominance of additive gene action in the inheritance of soybean rust resistance. The broad-sense (0.94-0.99) and narrow-sense (0.73-0.82) heritability estimates indicated the possibility of improving resistance to soybean rust through selection in the early generations. UG 5, Maksoy 3N, Maksoy 4N and Maksoy 5N had negative GCA effects. The F2 populations derived from these parents crossed with Wonder soya and Nam 2 had also negative SCA effects. The use of these parents and F2 populations can, therefore, increase the response to selection for improving resistance to soybean rust.

Promising parents for grain yield and early maturity in rabi sorghum (sorghum...
This study evaluated four male sterile sorghum lines and twelve testers in a line x tester crossing design along with their 48 crosses for days to flowering, maturity, and grain yield. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among lines, testers, and their interactions for all traits. For general combining ability, line RMS 2010-10A and tester RSV 1941 showed positive and significant effects for increasing grain yield while decreasing days to flowering and maturity. These parents are recommended for use in breeding programs to develop high yielding and early maturing rabi sorghum hybrids that can escape terminal drought stress.
Inheritance of Resistance to Sorghum ShootFly, Atherigona soccata in Sorghum,...
Sorghum production is affected by a wide array of biotic constraints, of which sorghum shootf ly, Atherigona soccata is the most important pest, which severely damages the sorghum crop during the seedlings stage. Host plant resistance is one of the major components to control sorghum shoot fly, Atherigona soccata. To understand the nature of gene action for inheritance of shoot fly resistance, we evaluated 10parents, 45F1’s and their reciprocals in replicated trials during the rainy and post rainy seasons. The genotypes ICSV700, Phule Anuradha, ICSV25019, PS35805, IS2123, IS2146, and IS18551 exhibited resistance to shoot fly damage across seasons. Crosses between susceptible parents were preferred for egg laying by the shoot fly females, resulting in a susceptible reaction. ICSV700, ICSV25019, PS35805, IS2123, IS2146, and IS18551 exhibited significant and negative general combining ability (gca) effects for oviposition, deadheart incidence, and overall resistance score.

Evidence of natural hybridization and introgression between Medicago ciliaris...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract—The present study, investigated some reproductive and fertility parameters in some wild populations, originating from the North Tunisia (4 populations of Medicago ciliaris and 3 populations of Medicago intertexta). Previous finding revealed that these species are genetically distinct and easily recognized by the number of flowers per inflorescence and pod dimensions. However, biometrical traits and isozyme patterns intermediacy between these two species had detected the existence of a potential spontaneous interspecific hybrid originating from Sedjnane locality in Tunisia. Indeed, the present work has shown significant decrease of pollen fertility and seed production for this population when compared to the others (pollen viability 75%, pollen germinability 8% and pod production=9%). These results suggested a possible natural interspecific hybrid and confirming introgressive hybridization possibility between M. intertexta and M. ciliaris.MAS ( Marker Assisted Selection)
Marker-assisted selection (MAS) is a plant breeding method that uses molecular markers linked to traits of interest to guide selection for desirable crop traits. It allows breeders to select plants earlier in the breeding cycle compared to phenotypic selection alone. MAS has advantages like being unaffected by environmental conditions and enabling selection for recessive traits. However, it also has drawbacks like being more expensive than conventional techniques and the possibility of recombination between markers and traits. Careful analysis of costs and benefits is needed to determine when MAS is advantageous compared to conventional breeding methods.

Richer agb poster nacaa 2015
This study evaluated the efficacy of three soil-applied insecticides - Lorsban or Empower, Capture LFR, and an untreated control - on controlling Asiatic Garden Beetle larvae and protecting corn yield over three farms in Fulton County, Ohio in 2014. Randomized block trials were established with four replicates of each treatment. While AGB larvae were found between and within rows on all farms, yields varied substantially between farms but showed no significant differences between insecticide treatments within each farm. The insecticides did not increase yield over the untreated control despite visible damage to corn plants from AGB larvae, possibly due to compensation from undamaged plants. Further studies over multiple years are needed.

In the substitution of chemical insecticides with potential biopesticides, the efficiency of Lippia multiflora, Plectranthus glandulosus and Callistemon rigidus were evaluated on the improvement of cowpea (Vinia unguiculata) in Dang (Ngaoundere, Cameroon). The experiment was conducted in a completely randomized block design with 5 treatments repeated 4 times each: the negative control, the positive control (Decis), L. multiflora, P. glandulosus and C. rigidus. These different insecticides were sprayed on cowpea plants with 14 days interval starting from the 14th day after sowing. The parameters collected were the diversity of insect pests, the number of pods, and the dry weight of the grains. All of the insecticides used improved cowpea yields. Although less efficient than Decis, most biopesticides significantly (p < 0.001) improved the yield of cowpeas compared to the negative control. This improvement was 260% for C. rigidus, and 120% for P. glandulosus. These results suggest that C. rigidus, P. glandulosus and L. multiflora could be considered as potential substitutes for chemical insecticides in improving cowpea yields.

One well-watered and three different water stress patterns were designed based on the mean seasonal rain fall variations (460, 305, and 139 mm in 1988) observed during cropping season, in dry environments of Rajasthan, to identify the genomic regions associated with the traits related to stover and grain yield under these varied water stress patterns.
High-oleic groundnut varieties-Enhances profitability to groundnut farmers
Groundnuts with high oleic acid content are in great demand by consumers and the food industry alike as they offer remarkable health benefits to consumers as well as enable extended shelf life of groundnut products. ICRISAT’s groundnut breeding program, in collaboration with ICAR-DGR and other national partners, has initiated a program to transfer mutant alleles ahFAD2A and ahFAD2B from SunOleic 95R, and also the new high-oleic lines developed at ICRISAT, into the genetic background of eliteparents, with high pod yield potential, adaptability, drought tolerance and other desirable features.
Multi-location testing identifies high oil yielding groundnut lines
Over 60% of global groundnut produce is used for extraction of oil. Groundnut oil is the preferred cooking medium in several countries including China, India, Nigeria, Myanmar, Senegal, Niger and Indonesia. Cultivated groundnut varieties contain about 48% oil in the kernel; increasing kernel oil content can enhance milling efficiency and ensure profitability of groundnut cultivation.

Sorghum is grown as a dual purpose crop yielding food (grain) and fodder (stover) in marginal environments of Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Application of genomics and trait discovery tools in breeding program can expedite genetic improvement of fodder quality. Earlier reports suggested that a difference of one percentage unit in stover digestibility increases livestock output of 6 to 8%. To characterize fodder quality traits in sorghum and to identify genomic regions related to t[hose traits, a set of mapping population parents (24) were evaluated under two water regimes (control and stress) over 3 years at ICRISAT-Patancheru.

This document summarizes a study on genetic variability, heritability, and traits related to late leaf spot tolerance and productivity in a recombinant inbred line population of groundnut. The study evaluated 106 recombinant inbred lines plus parental lines. High genetic variation was observed for traits related to late leaf spot score, yield, and other components. High heritability and genetic advance were found for traits like late leaf spot score, 100-seed weight, and haulm weight per plant, indicating these are controlled by additive genes and good for selection. Several lines were identified with improved late leaf spot tolerance, early maturity, yield, and other traits.
Groundnut improvement: Use of genetic and genomic tools
This document summarizes groundnut (peanut) improvement research at ICRISAT. Conventional breeding using genetic variability, trait analysis, and phenotyping tools has contributed to the release of improved varieties with higher yield, disease resistance, and drought tolerance. However, plugging yield gaps requires adoption of improved agronomic practices, effective seed systems, partnerships along the value chain, supportive policies, and mechanization. New genomic tools now complement conventional breeding to more efficiently develop varieties with multiple traits like high oil content and disease resistance. Addressing nutrition and aflatoxin contamination also remains a challenge.
Mutation Breeding as a tool for aphid resistance in Indian mustard
Rapeseed-mustard is the second most important edible oilseed crop in India after groundnut in terms of area and production. Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) is the most commonly cultivated of the oilseed Brassica in India. Globally, India ranks 4th in the production of rapeseed mustard oil. In India, Rajasthan ranks 1st followed by Madhya Pradesh in terms of area and production of rapeseed-mustard. Mustard aphid (Lipaphis erysimi) is the main pest of mustard growing areas, leading to a reduction in yield by 35.4-96.0% and oil content by 5-15%. Aphids can be controlled effectively, economically, and environmentally through the development of an aphid-resistant genotype. The absence of aphid resistance genes in Brassica juncea as well as limited knowledge of trait genetics have hampered aphid resistance breeding in Brassica. Mutation breeding refers to the method of using artificial mutagenesis to obtain new biological cultivars, mainly through chemical or radiation mutagenesis. Induced mutagenesis is a reliable method of introducing aphid resistance within Indian mustard because it has demonstrated its ability to introduce aphid resistance in some crops. Reasons for the delayed development in generating mutant aphid resistant variants of Brassica juncea are the random nature of induced mutagenesis and the lack of particular procedures for screening large numbers of genotypes required in breeding for the selection of tolerant cultivars in mustard. For prospective genotype selection and cultivar development in Brassica juncea, mutant lines having varied aphid resistance along with susceptible and tolerant mustard varieties can be subjected to Genome Wide Association Studies to identify QTLs imparting aphid resistance in mutant mustard.
Genetic Diversity Studies in Rice for Bacterial Leaf Blight Resistance

Anticipatory plant breeding-1.pptx
The world population Data sheet indicates that world population is projected to increase from 7.8 billion in 2020 to 10 billion by 2050. Hence as population increases the food demand also increases, and due to urbanization process the per capita availability of land for agriculture also reduces. So we will reach to the situation where we have to increase the yield of crops per unit land availability. Among all the discipline, we the plant breeders mainly plays important role in increasing the yield of crops, so we need to be ready to feed uncertain future. And it will achieved by a approach called „„ANTICIPATORY PLANT BREEDING‟‟. Breeding for future needs using both conventional and contemporary approaches

Dearth of well-articulated information on genetic parameter estimates and diversity of upland rice limits the genetic improvement of rice. This study assessed the genetic parameter estimates and genetic diversity among 40 rice accessions using 26 agro-morphological traits. The trial was conducted in 2020 at the Njala University experimental site using 5 × 8 triple lattice design. The agro-morphological traits were analyzed using various multivariate and genetic parameter estimate techniques. Classification based on qualitative and quantitative traits grouped the germplasm into ten and five distinct clusters, respectively. Genotypes Buttercup-ABC, Buttercup-RARC, Jewulay, NERICA L4, Ndomawai, Sewulie and Painipainie produced earliest days to heading (81.8–97.2 days) and maturity (111.2 – 120.7 days). Genotypes Jasmine (3.036 t.ha-1), Rok 34 (3.238 t.ha-1) and Parmoi (2.663 t.ha-1) exhibited the highest grain yields. Principal component analysis (PCA) of qualitative traits exhibited four principal components (PCs) with eigenvalues > 1.0 and cumulative variation of 68.04%, whilst the PCA of quantitative traits had five PCs accounting for 81.73% of the total genetic variation. The findings indicate the presence of enough variability that could be exploited for the genetic improvement of rice varieties and the studied traits can be used for selection. Leaf blade length and width, culm diameter at basal internode, culm length, days to 50% heading, flag leaf girth, panicle number per plant, grain yield, and 100 grain weight had high heritability and genetic advance indicating the presence of additive gene action. Findings are relevant for conservation, management, short term recommendation for release and genetic improvement of rice.

- Two case studies describe the development of MAGIC populations in rice with 8 founders each, and tomato with 8 founders. Traits like yield, disease resistance, and abiotic stress tolerance were evaluated.
- Advantages include exploiting more genetic variation, developing varieties with favorable trait combinations, and more accurate gene mapping. Limitations include requiring more time, resources for phenotyping and breeding.
21. a new carboxynilide group fungicide against paddy sheath blight
This document summarizes research on the efficacy of the fungicide Thifluzamide against rice sheath blight caused by Rhizoctonia solani. Field trials from 2005-2009 found that two applications of Thifluzamide at 90-110g ai/ha effectively reduced disease severity and increased yield compared to the untreated control. Residue analysis also found Thifluzamide and its metabolites below quantifiable limits at the tested doses, indicating it breaks down safely. Thifluzamide is proposed as an effective new fungicide that can be integrated into sheath blight resistance management programs.

New climate-resilient, disease-resistant chickpea varieties coming farmers’ way
Three new chickpea varieties have been developed with enhanced drought tolerance, disease resistance, and increased yield. These varieties were created using genomics-assisted breeding by ICRISAT and ICAR. The new varieties are awaiting approval for cultivation by Indian farmers. Genomics-assisted breeding has delivered six high-yielding chickpea varieties to India in the last three years. Improved chickpea varieties are needed due to drought threats in chickpea growing regions, as drought can cause up to 60% yield losses annually. ICRISAT is leading efforts in genetic analysis of drought tolerance and disease resistance in chickpea using advanced sequencing technologies.

Border towns and spaces of (in)visibility.pdf
This report explores the significance of border towns and spaces for strengthening responses to young people on the move. In particular it explores the linkages of young people to local service centres with the aim of further developing service, protection, and support strategies for migrant children in border areas across the region. The report is based on a small-scale fieldwork study in the border towns of Chipata and Katete in Zambia conducted in July 2023. Border towns and spaces provide a rich source of information about issues related to the informal or irregular movement of young people across borders, including smuggling and trafficking. They can help build a picture of the nature and scope of the type of movement young migrants undertake and also the forms of protection available to them. Border towns and spaces also provide a lens through which we can better understand the vulnerabilities of young people on the move and, critically, the strategies they use to navigate challenges and access support.
The findings in this report highlight some of the key factors shaping the experiences and vulnerabilities of young people on the move – particularly their proximity to border spaces and how this affects the risks that they face. The report describes strategies that young people on the move employ to remain below the radar of visibility to state and non-state actors due to fear of arrest, detention, and deportation while also trying to keep themselves safe and access support in border towns. These strategies of (in)visibility provide a way to protect themselves yet at the same time also heighten some of the risks young people face as their vulnerabilities are not always recognised by those who could offer support.
In this report we show that the realities and challenges of life and migration in this region and in Zambia need to be better understood for support to be strengthened and tuned to meet the specific needs of young people on the move. This includes understanding the role of state and non-state stakeholders, the impact of laws and policies and, critically, the experiences of the young people themselves. We provide recommendations for immediate action, recommendations for programming to support young people on the move in the two towns that would reduce risk for young people in this area, and recommendations for longer term policy advocacy.

MABC approach combines early maturity and foliar fungal disease resistance
- 1. Feb 2017 MABC approach combines early maturity and foliar fungal disease resistance Background Groundnut is cultivated in more than 100 countries around the world, over a area of 25.4 m ha with total production of 45.22 m t (FAO, 2014). New groundnut varieties should meet the requirements of growers, processors and consumers. Hence, combining desirable traits into a single genotype is the main goal of breeding programs. Foliar fungal diseases especially late leaf spot and rust can cause yield losses of 50–70% in groundnut, along with adverse effects on the quality of the produce. A major QTL on AO3 chromosome governing resistance to rust disease (>80% phenotypic variance) and also contributing to resistance to late leaf spot disease (65% phenotypic variance) was introgressed from donor parent GPBD 4 (an interspecific derivative from wild diploid species A. cardenasii) using marker- assisted backcrossing (MABC) approach. Three mega varieties – TAG 24, JL 24 and ICGV 91114 – were targeted for improvement.
