Wheat, rice, maize, pearl millet, and sorghum provide over half of the world's food calories. To maintain global security, with added challenge climate change, there is an increasing need to exploit existing genetic variability develop cultivars superior yield potential stress adaptation. The opportunity share knowledge between crops identify priority traits for future research can be exploited increase breeding impacts assist in identifying loci that control A more internationally...
The predicted rise in global surface and air temperatures, resulting heat episodes, is a significant challenge for sustaining crop yield quality the coming decades. Exposure to stress during reproductive grain-filling stages of crops disrupts source-sink activities induces undesirable biochemical changes seeds. While adverse effects on production are well-known, compositional seeds due have not received equal attention. Research seed attributes crucial, as many traits that associated with...
Fall armyworm (FAW; Spodoptera frugiperda (J.E. Smith)) is emerging as the most destructive pest of maize in India since its report May 2018.Its rapid spread to more than 90% maize-growing areas diverse agro-ecologies within a span 16 months presents major challenge smallholder farmers, maize-based industry, well food and nutritional security.FAW has been reported from other crops like sorghum millets with varied proportion economic damage.In this review, transboundary movement FAW, role...
ABSTRACT Sorghum [ bicolor (L.) Moench] is a drought‐resilient crop, grown extensively in semiarid tropics of the world. To understand scenario sorghum cultivation across world, trends area and yield gain associated changes stability were analyzed top 10 sorghum‐producing countries from 1970 to 2009. Asian United States recorded large drop harvested area. Grain levels increased substantially all except Sudan. Relative level 1970, productivity annually at 0.96% yr −1 analyzed. China (100.9 kg...
Abstract Maize is a heavy consumer of fertilizer nitrogen (N) which not only results in the high cost cultivation but may also lead to environmental pollution. Therefore, there need develop N-use efficient genotypes, prerequisite for greater understanding N-deficiency stress adaptation. In this study, comparative transcriptome analysis was performed using leaf and root tissues from contrasting inbred lines, viz., DMI 56 (tolerant N stress) 81 (susceptible delineate differentially expressed...
The development of resistant maize cultivars is the most effective and sustainable approach to combat fungal diseases. Over last three decades, many quantitative trait loci (QTL) mapping studies reported numerous QTL for disease resistance (FDR) in maize. However, different genetic backgrounds germplasm differing analysis algorithms limit use identified comparative studies. meta-QTL (MQTL) meta-analysis multiple experiments, which entails broader allelic coverage helps combined diverse...
Abstract Fostering a culture of continuous improvement through regular monitoring genetic trends in breeding pipelines is essential to improve efficiency and increase accountability. This the first global study estimate across International Maize Wheat Improvement Center (CIMMYT) tropical maize eastern southern Africa (ESA), South Asia, Latin America over past decade. Data from total 4152 advanced trials 34,813 entries, conducted at 1331 locations 28 countries globally, were used for this...
In spring maize (Zea mays L.) prone to heat stress, especially at terminal stages, understanding the impact of sowing time on important genotypes for stress tolerance is crucial optimize yield. An experiment was conducted during 2020 and 2021 Research farm ICAR-Indian Institute Maize Research, Ludhiana, Punjab study effect genotype interactions yield in maize. The laid out a split-plot design (SPD) comprised 4 different dates, viz. 15th February; 25th 5th March; March, genotypes, PMH1;...
Maize is one of the most versatile and commercially produced crops used for food, feed, fodder, ethanol, oil, industrial raw materials. affected by various diseases, but among these, maydis leaf blight (MLB) serious diseases. The disease caused Cochliobolus heterostrophus responsible yield losses up to 40%. When developing cultivars a specific ecology, days flowering maturity are important breeding traits consider. Thus, understanding genetic basis MLB resistance, specifically “O” race...
