The impact of gamma irradiation on Terminalia arjuna (T. arjuna), one the potent medicinal plants for cardiac disease is described in this article. seeds T. were irradiated with different doses radiation ranging from 0 to 200 Gy using 60 Co source. effect growth and biochemical constituents compared control plants. Germination speed at 25 was found be 0.65, which double un-irradiated seeds. An increase germination percentage, vigor index, relative rate, terms dry weight noticed lower...
Black gram [V. mungo (L.) Hepper] is an important legume crop extensively grown in south and south-east Asia, where it a major source of dietary protein for its predominantly vegetarian population. However, lack genomic information markers has become limitation genetic improvement this crop. Here, we report the transcriptome sequencing immature seeds black cv. TU94-2, by Illumina paired end technology to generate sequences gene discovery genic-SSR marker development. A total 17.2 million...
Abstract Blackgram [ Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper] (2n = 2x 22), an important Asiatic legume crop, is a major source of dietary protein for the predominantly vegetarian population. Here we construct draft genome sequence blackgram, first time, by employing hybrid assembly with Illumina reads and third generation Oxford Nanopore sequencing technology. The final de novo whole blackgram ~ 475 Mb (82% genome) has maximum scaffold length 6.3 N50 1.42 Mb. Genome analysis identified 42,115 genes mean...
Abstract A recombinant inbred line (RIL) mapping population (F 8 ) was generated by crossing Vigna mungo (cv. TU 94‐2) with var. silvestris and screened for mungbean yellow mosaic virus (MYMV) resistance. The inter simple sequence repeat (ISSR) marker technique employed to identify markers linked the MYMV resistance gene. Of 100 primers screened, 54 showed amplification of which 36 exhibited polymorphism between parents 94‐2 (resistant) V. (susceptible). Individual plants from 53 RIL...
A genetic linkage map of black gram, Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper, was constructed with 428 molecular markers using an F9 recombinant inbred population 104 individuals. The derived from inter-subspecific cross between a gram cultivar, TU94-2, and wild genotype, V. var. silvestris. analysis at LOD score 5.0 distributed all (254 AFLP, 47 SSR, 86 RAPD, 41 ISSR) into 11 groups. spanned total distance 865.1 cM average marker density 2 cM. largest group 115 the smallest 44.9 number per ranged to varied...
Blackgram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper], is an important legume crop of Asia with limited genomic resources. We report a comprehensive set genic simple sequence repeat (SSR) and single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) markers using Illumina MiSeq sequencing transcriptome its application in genetic variation analysis mapping.Transcriptome immature seeds wild blackgram, V. var. silvestris by technology generated 1.9 × 107 reads, which were assembled into 40,178 transcripts (TCS) average length 446...
Horse gram (Macrotyloma uniflorum (Lam.) Verdc.) is an under-utilized legume grown in India. It a good source of protein, carbohydrates, dietary fiber, minerals, and vitamins. We screened 252 horse germplasm accessions for yellow mosaic virus resistance using the percent disease index scaling techniques. The percentage values highly resistant, moderately susceptible, susceptible were 0.34, 13.89, 38.89, 46.43, respectively. Repetitive trials confirmed host-plant levels, yield loss was...
Purpose The 'Improved White Ponni' (IWP) rice variety, which is susceptible to lodging, leading yield losses. Our primary goal develop new lines with non-lodging traits, enhancing stem strength and resistance adverse conditions. Additionally, we aim improve yield-contributing agronomic benefiting farmers, food security, the environment. work contributes scientific knowledge addresses a significant issue in Southern Indian cultivation.
Purpose Gamma rays are the most widely exploited physical mutagen in plant mutation breeding. They known to be involved development of more than 60% global cowpea (Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) mutant varieties. Nevertheless, nature and type genome-wide mutations induced by gamma have not been studied therefore, present investigation was undertaken.
The present study was carried out to compare effect of gamma rays and electron beam on two rice varieties viz., ADT-37 ADT(R) 45. Dried seeds both the were treated with different doses viz ., 100Gy, 200Gy, 300Gy, 400Gy, 500Gy for 500Gy, 600Gy along control. lethal dose determined by probit analysis. LD 50 45 300.03Gy 300.00Gy 286.45Gy 275.05Gy respectively. Results showed that germination, shoot length, root seedling height 20 th day, pollen fertility spikelet in M 1 generation reduced...
Rice is a prime staple crop for more than half of the world population. Improved White Ponni (IWP) premium quality grain rice variety that fetching good price and increasingly popular among consumers Tamil Nadu. Tall plant stature IWP makes them susceptible to lodging medium duration are two undesirable traits in increases yield losses field also productivity. In this context, we aimed generate large mutant population irradiated with various doses gamma irradiation recover putative mutants...
