Recent outbreak of Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic around the world is associated with 'severe acute respiratory syndrome' (SARS-CoV2) in humans. SARS-CoV2 an enveloped virus and E proteins present them are reported to form ion channels, which mainly pathogenesis. Thus, there always a quest inhibit these turn may help controlling diseases caused by Considering this, study, authors employed computational approaches for studying structure as well function human 'SARS-CoV2 E' protein...
The introgression of wild chromosomal segments into popular rice varieties is one the potential approaches for developing drought stress condition. Sixteen genotypes, including nine indica , two tropical japonica and five chromosome substitution lines (CSSLs) with different levels tolerance/susceptibility to stress, were selected diversity study. Sixty-three microsatellite markers utilized assessing genetic diversity. A total 95 alleles amplified, out them, 60 polymorphic. Six unique...
Cytokinin oxidase/dehydrogenase (CKX) is the only known enzyme associated with irreversible degradation of cytokinins in plants. CKX2 contains flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) domain. Earlier studies utilising antisense & hpRNAi suppression techniques mutant/transgenic rice plants revealed that when binds FAD, expression reduces, which turn causes cytokinin aggregation inflorescence meristem subsequently enhances both branches and grain number resulting increased yield. Owing to...
A panel of 60 genotypes comprising New Plant Types (NPTs) along with indica, tropical and temperate japonica was phenotypically evaluated for four seasons in irrigated situation grain yield per se component traits. Twenty NPT were found promising an average varying from 5.45 to 8.8 t/ha. total 85 SSR markers used the study identify QTLs associated related Sixty-six (77.65%) be polymorphic. The PIC values varied 0.516 0.92 0.704. moderate level genetic diversity (0.39) detected among...
Brown plant hopper (BPH) is one of the major destructive insect pests rice, causing severe yield loss. Thirty-two BPH resistance genes have been identified in cultivated and wild species rice Although, molecular mechanism against studied through map-based cloning, due to non-existence NMR/crystal structures Bph14 protein, recognition leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domain its interaction with different ligands are poorly understood. Thus, present study, silico approach was adopted predict...
A total of 17 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers linked to QTLs (qDTYs) governing grain yield under reproductive stage (RS) drought stress were used assess the genetic relationship and prospecting new donors for qDTYs among 32 popular upland rice genotypes. These SSR generated a 36 alleles with an average allele count 2.1 per locus. Polymorphic information content value ranged from 0.376 0.662 0.484. The expected heterozyogosity 0.381 0.632. STRUCTURE analysis divided genotypes into three...

The present study investigated eight rice lines (Rupsal, Nagalmutha, Polai, Ravana, Marishal, Talmugra, Kamini and Raspanjar) collected from coastal region of eastern India for salinity tolerance through phenotypic genotypic screening.Among these, three as highly tolerant (Talmugra, Marishal Kamini), Polai two moderately (Ravana Nagalmutha) to salt stress were identified in screening.Pokkali was categorized under condition (12 EC dS m -1 ).In PCR screening using microsatellite (SSR) markers...
Abstract The fast climate change affects yield in Vigna mungo via enhancing both biotic and abiotic stresses. Out of all factors, the yellow mosaic disease has most damaging effect. However, due to lack reference genome mungo, complete mechanism associated with MYMIV (Mungbean Yellow Mosaic Indian Virus) resistance remain elusive date. Considering this, authors made an attempt release new transcriptome its annotation by employing computational approaches. Quality assessment generated...

Abstract Drought and blast disease are the two major abiotic biotic factors that severely reduce grain-yield (GY) of rice in rainfed-upland. Reproductive stage drought stress (RSDS) along with account for > 80% yield loss rice. Identification molecular markers QTLs/genes (GY under RSDS resistance) has opened up new avenues developing varieties enhanced resistant/tolerant to these stresses. The current study focussed on introgression QTL GY ( qDTY12.1 ) resistance gene Pi9 into an upland...
Abstract Yam bean (Pachyrhizus erosus L.) is an underutilized tuber crop that has recently gained popularity because of its enormous advantages in terms nutrition and health. To date, there are no such potential molecular genomic tools available for the improvement yam could help studying genetic diversity or to identify selecting elite cultivars their conservation. The present study used 67 SSR markers from soybean crops checked transferability 140 accessions bean, which identified 15...
