establishment of an efficient and reproducible regeneration protocol is one of the basic prerequisites for genetic transformation of any crop plant. in vitro culture of lentil has proven to be difficult. in spite of a number of reports on the regeneration of this plant, very few satisfying and reproducible protocol has yet been reported. this study carried out for investigation of different hor...

lentil (lens culinaris. medik) is one of the major cool season pulse crops which could suffer damage under severe cold. some physiological parameters such as electrolyte leakage (el) have been used to assess the response of crops to cold conditions. in order to evaluate the possibility of using the el index for assessing the freezing tolerance of lentil genotypes, a factorial experiment carried...

Lectin microarray technology was applied to compare the glycosylation pattern of the monoclonal antibody MB311 expressed in SP2.0 cells to an antibody-dependent cellular cytotoxic effector function (ADCC)-optimized variant (MB314). MB314 was generated by a plant expression system that uses genetically modified moss protoplasts (Physcomitrella patens) to generate a de-fucosylated version of MB31...

Due to low Fe bioavailability and low consumption per meal, lentil must be fortified to contribute significant bioavailable Fe in the Bangladeshi diet. Moreover, since red lentil is dehulled prior to consumption, an opportunity exists at this point to fortify lentil with Fe. Thus, in the present study, lentil was Fe-fortified (using a fortificant Fe concentration of 2800 µg g-1) and used in 30 ...

The pea aphid (PA), Acyrthosiphon pisum (Harris) (Hemiptera: Aphididae), can cause complete yield loss in lentil, Lens culinaris Medik. (Fabaceae, Leguminosae), if not managed properly. Determining lentil genetic resources with resistance to PA is important for integrated pest management (IPM) production areas worldwide. objectives of this study were identify and genes associated 188 lines the ...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus) is an important grain legume crop. Among all the biotic factors, weed infestation being adverse impact on growth, yield, nutrient uptake and economics due to lentil short stature, low branching, lack of protective canopy it’s unable smother weeds. Although, applying pre emergence herbicides, in many situation early control herbicides are not that much efficient f...

Lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) is a self-pollinating, diploid, annual, cool-season, food legume crop that is cultivated throughout the world. Ascochyta blight (AB), caused by Ascochyta lentis Vassilievsky, is an economically important and widespread disease of lentil. Development of cultivars with high levels of durable resistance provides an environmentally acceptable and economically feasible...
