Assessing genetic variability induced in chickpeas by gamma rays
Mutation breeding is a useful technique for discovering desirable traits in chickpea genomes. Therefore, the overall objective of this study was to bring out genetic variability in the genotype of chickpeas by treating the seeds with six doses (0.0, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 and 800 rad) of gamma irradiation to generate genetic variations in morphological traits and yield components to bring out information about the...

Molecular characterisation for resistance to leaf spot disease in some local groundnut ecotypes of Burkina-Faso
Leaf spot disease is the major constraints causing yield losses in groundnut. Numerous breeding programmes have been set up to select disease-resistant varieties, but the selection pressure exerted by resistant varieties encourages the development of new biotypes. It is therefore necessary to use biotechnology to identify traits of interest. The general objective of this study is to identify SSR markers associated...
