Abstract The aim of the study was to determine source variation in Jatropha curcas seeds collected from ten locations Central India. A significant seed observed morphology (colour, size and weight), germination (viability, percent, energy, value) seedling growth parameters (survival percentage, height, collar diameter, leave/plant, biomass). Chhindwara (M.P.) found as best comparison others. phenotypic genotypic variance, their coefficient variability broad sense heritability also showed a...
Abstract Results of a seed source evaluation trial Jatropha curcas Linn. laid out in 1996 at Jabalpur (M.P), semi arid region India are reported and discussed. Seeds collected from ten sources central representing the states Madhya Pradesh Maharashtra viz. Gondia, Bichia, Balaghat, Niwas, Khandwa, Burhanpur, Nasik, Chindwara, Kundam were evaluated for their growth performance nursery stage (3 months) to field (two years). Variation oil content different also studied reported. Significant...
Abstract This article documents the addition of 229 microsatellite marker loci to Molecular Ecology Resources Database. Loci were developed for following species: Acacia auriculiformis × mangium hybrid , Alabama argillacea, Anoplopoma fimbria, Aplochiton zebra, Brevicoryne brassicae, Bruguiera gymnorhiza, Bucorvus leadbeateri, Delphacodes detecta, Tumidagena minuta, Dictyostelium giganteum, Echinogammarus berilloni, Epimedium sagittatum, Fraxinus excelsior, Labeo chrysophekadion,...
Abstract Rising atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) and temperature alter gene-expression arrays commensurate with physio-morphological changes, resulting in issues of adaptation, growth patterns, productivity terrestrial vegetation. An experiment was conducted to investigate the adaptive response Populus deltoides clone G48 combined effect elevated CO2 inside open-top chambers. The acted as environmental cues help express upregulated/downregulated genes involved important metabolic pathways....
Accumulation of CO 2 in the atmosphere considerably affect plants and trees terrestrial ecosystem. Under elevated , may alter growth physiology for adaptation to survive. The aim this study was investigate physiological response Populus deltoides grown under 600 μmol mol-1 concentration open top chamber (OTC). One-month-old homogenous were transferred OTC 180 days exposure treatment observed that as compared control (∼400 mol-1), stem diameter, photosynthetic rate, transpiration stomatal...
Abstract The introduction of exotics is common in forestry, and majorly important species, like eucalypts, poplar, Casuarina sp., occupy vast areas the Indian subcontinent. Importantly, with latest cost-effective sequencing techniques, genetic diversity research through molecular marker approaches on major provides novel information for improvement economic traits climatic adaptation. study was carried out Grevillea robusta to assess relatedness among 228 genotypes belonging five...
Abstract A set of 19 SSR (Simple Sequence Repeats), 9 ISSR (Inter-Simple Repeats) and 5 AFLP (Amplified Fragment Length Polymorphism) primer combinations were used to evaluate the variability among 53 genotypes Pinus roxburghii selected based on resin yield from natural zone occurrence this species in Uttarakhand, India. The trees pine varied 0.25 8 kg/year/tree. Based comparative assessment SSR, markers, markers found most polymorphic with an average PIC value 0.327 2.42 alleles per marker,...
Abstract Pinus kesiya (Khasi pine) is the principal pine species in northeast India having high commercial value. Chloroplast microsatellites (cpSSR) were used to study genetic diversity and population structure of 10 populations P. covering entire natural range distribution India. A total 33 primer pairs (cpSSRs) thunberghii sylvestris tested for their transferability, out which 18 chloroplast primers showed positive amplification found polymorphic. 250 individuals from different genotyped...
