Effect of High Temperature Stress During the Reproductive Stage on Grain Yield and Nutritional Quality of Lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus)
Hasna Choukri,Noureddine El Haddad,Khawla Aloui,Kamal Hejjaoui,Adil Elbaouchi,Abdelaziz Smouni,Dil Thavarajah,Fouad Maalouf,Shiv Kumar +8 more
TL;DR: In this article , the impact of high temperature during the reproductive stage of a lentil on grain yield, nutritional value, and cooking quality was evaluated under controlled conditions for their high temperature response.

Dil Thavarajah,Pushparajah Thavarajah,Alex Abare,Suranga Basnagala,Craig Lacher,Powell Smith,Gerald F Combs +6 more
TL;DR: The results of this study show a single 100 g serving of fresh kale can provide a significant percentage of the recommended daily intake of mineral micronutrients identified by the 2015 Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee as being underconsumed by Americans.
Enhancing selenium concentration in lentil (Lens culinaris subsp. culinaris) through foliar application
M. M. Rahman,William Erskine,M. A. Materne,L. M. Mcmurray,Pushparajah Thavarajah,Dil Thavarajah,Kadambot H. M. Siddique +6 more
TL;DR: Foliar application of Se as K2SeO4 is an efficient agronomic approach to improve seed Se concentration for lentil consumers and there is also scope for genetic biofortification in lentil.
