اظهر المزيد [+] اقل [-]The mandate grain legumes of ICRISAT include chickpea, pigeonpea and groundnutwhich are important crops of Asia and Africa. The grain legumes improvementprogram of ICRISAT has access to the largest collection of germplasm of these crops(20,602 accessions of chickpea, 13,771 accessions of pigeonpea, and 15,446accessions of groundnut) available in ICRISAT genebank, state-of-the art genomicslab, Platform for Translational Research on Transgenic Crops (PTTC), precisionphenotyping facilities for abiotic and biotic stresses, controlled environmentfacilities and a global network of research partners. The major objectives of grainlegumes improvement include high yield, early maturity, resistance/tolerance to keyabiotic and biotic stresses, and market preferred grain traits (size, shape and color).The crop-specific breeding objectives include suitability to machine harvesting andherbicide tolerance in chickpea, development of hybrids in pigeonpea, and enhancedoil yield and quality (high oleic content) and tolerance to aflatoxin contamination ingroundnut. The crop breeding programs have been making extensive use of thegermplasm, including wild species. The advances in genomics include availability ofdraft genome sequences, large number of molecular markers, high density geneticmaps, transcriptomic resources, physical maps and molecular markers linked togenes/quantitative trait loci for key traits. There are successful examples ofintrogression of traits through marker-assisted backcrossing in chickpea andgroundnut. Transgenics events are available for pod borer resistance in chickpeaand pigeonpea and drought tolerance in groundnut. Advances have also been madein use of secondary metabolites for promotion of plant growth, control of insect pestsand plant pathogens, and biofortification. The breeding materials and germplasmsupplied by ICRISAT have led to release of 160 varieties of chickpea in 26 countries,91 varieties/hybrids of pigeonpea in 19 countries and 190 varieties of groundnut in38 countries. Many of these varieties have been adopted widely by farmers andbenefitted them in sustainably improving their livilihoods
