With the development of molecular marker technology in 1980s, fate plant breeding has changed. Different types markers have been developed and advancement sequencing technologies geared crop improvement. To explore knowledge about markers, several reviews published last three decades; however, all these were meant for researchers with advanced genetics. This review is intended to be a synopsis recent developments their applications devoted early little or no markers. The progress made...

Cotton ( Gossypium hirsutum L.), a crucial global fibre and oil seed crop faces diverse biotic abiotic stresses. Among these, temperature stress strongly influences its growth, prompting adaptive physiological, biochemical, molecular changes. In this study, we explored the proteomic changes underscoring heat tolerance in leaves of two locally developed cotton genotypes, i.e., tolerant (GH-Hamaliya H tol ) susceptible (CIM-789 sus ), guided by morpho-physiological biochemical analysis. These...

Low nitrogen-use efficiency (NUE) is a serious issue for cotton production and environmental sustainability in arid climates. A pot study was conducted to evaluate the effect of K nutrition on NUE performance low- high-K-efficiency cultivars under two moisture regimes. Treatments included soil levels—i.e., normal irrigation, 100% available water content (AWC); reduced 50% AWC—three levels nitrogen (N)—i.e., 0, 375, 750 mg N pot−1—and levels, i.e., 0 208 pot−1. Results reveal that pot−1...

The heat shock response (HSR) induces the production of proteins (HSPs) through activation factors (HSF). HSF binding protein (HSBP) is reported to modulate function by their trimer and hence regulate HSR. This report describes role OsHSBP1 OsHSBP2 in regulation HSR seed development rice. Both genes expressed ubiquitously all tissues under normal growth conditions while expression levels were significantly increased during recovery after treatment. Subcellular localization revealed...

Auxin is an essential phytohormone that plays a crucial role in the growth and development of plants stressful environments. Here, we analysed auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/IAA) gene family, which produces auxin pepper, succeeded identifying 27 putative members containing four conserved domains (I. II.
