Biotechnology approaches to overcome biotic and abiotic stress constraints in legumes (2006, background): “Abiotic stresses generally involve perturbation of various cellular functions and activation of complex metabolic pathways, and are conferred by polygenic traits (Kassem et al., 2004; Lee et al., 2004; Popelka et al., 2004).”
Breeding food legumes for resistance to storage insect pests: potential and limitations. (2011, background): “Current developments in the use of biotechnological tools against storage insect pests in food legumes include: identification of sources of resistance [10,15-17,24,39,57,58], locating the resistance genes in cultivated and wild species, developing and mapping genetic markers [10,15,17,58] and cloni”
Legumes in the reclamation of marginal soils, from cultivar and inoculant selection to transgenic approaches (2011, background): “The distinct protocols for genetic transformation of the main legumes are in constant development to ensure food and environmental safety (Popelka et al. 2004 and references therein; Eapen 2008 and references therein).”
Pyramiding of modified cry1Ab and cry1Ac genes of Bacillus thuringiensis in transgenic chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) for improved resistance to pod borer insect Helicoverpa armigera (2011, background): “of chickpea and some other large seeded grain legumes is stagnating for last two decades primarily due to large number of biotic and abiotic stresses and slow progress of genetic improvements for yield parameters (Popelka et al. 2004; Dita et al. 2006).”
Achievements and Challenges in Legume Breeding for Pest and Disease Resistance (2015, background): “The high potential of this approach in breeding has driven the development of TILLING platforms for pea (Dalmais et al., 2008), common bean (Porch et al., 2009) and peanut (Knoll et al., 2011).”
