Agricultural productivity is constantly being forced to maintain yield stability feed the enormously growing world population. However, shrinking arable and nutrient-deprived soil abiotic biotic stressor (s) in different magnitudes put additional challenges achieving global food security. Though well-defined, concept of macro, micronutrients, beneficial elements from a plant nutritional perspective. Among various selenium (Se) essential small amounts for life cycle organisms, including...
Climate change has become the major concern for world today.Focusing on agriculture, climate is already beginning to have a negative impact world's crop production levels.Global warming/climate causing significant harm cultivation of crops including chillies around world.Chilli one important spice crops.Many studies been done/conducted look possible damage chilli growth and development due in global warming also find out solution these problems.This review article highlights about some...
Introduction The yield of chickpea is severely hampered by infection wilt caused several races Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceris (Foc). Methods To understand the underlying molecular mechanisms resistance against Foc4 wilt, RNA sequencing-based shoot transcriptome data two contrasting genotypes, namely KWR 108 (resistant) and GL 13001 (susceptible), were generated analyzed. Results Discussion showed 1,103 1,221 significant DEGs in genotypes 13001, respectively. Among these, 495 608 genes...
An efficient micro propagation protocol was developed for Dalle Khursani, an important chilli cultivar of Sikkim. Aseptic cotyledon, shoot tip and hypocotyl explants Khursani (Capsicum annuum) were cultured on Murashige Skoog medium containing 16 different combinations plant growth regulators in vitro regeneration. Regeneration observed only 8 among which 4 mg/l Thidiazuron (TDZ) showed the best result with average 2.95 shoots per explant response 73.95%. This followed by MS TDZ + 0.5...
Rice (Oryza sativa) plays a significant role in global food security. Various biotic and abiotic stresses limit rice production. Among the various stress, blast caused by Magnaporthe oryza is one of most ruinous disease all growing regions world. Use resistant genes quantitative resistance conferred trait loci (QTLs) best option for management blast. More than 100 large number QTLs (more 350) were identified mapped different genotypes, but only 22 have been cloned characterized at molecular...
Two markers on Chromosome 2 of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) are reportedly associated with resistance to race 4 Fusarium wilt, and frequently used in breeding. However, the genes this region that actually confer wilt unknown. We aimed characterise them using both silico approaches marker trait association (MTA) analysis. Of 225 protein-encoding region, 51 showed significant differential expression two contrasting genotypes under potential involvement stress response. From a diverse set 244...
Rice blast is one of the most devastating biotic stresses that limits rice productivity. The North Eastern Hill (NEH) region India considered to be primary centres diversity for both and pathotypes Magnaporthe grisea. Therefore, present study was carried out elucidate genetic basis leaf neck resistance under Meghalaya conditions. A set 80 diverse genotypes (natural population) 2 F2 populations involving resistant parent, a wildtype landrace, LR 5 (Lal Jangali) susceptible Sambha Mahsuri SUB...
Crop improvement is a complex process, which not only involves selection or breeding for desired trait, but also includes different types of agronomic practices crop production. In most cases processes, there an inclusion, exclusion, modification one few genes that underlie the trait targeted in plants. Advancement genetic engineering techniques provides researchers great advantage controlling expression plant gene/genes manner. From random mutations genome using mutagens like EMS (Ethyl...
Purpose Objectives of the present investigation were to investigate performance mutant lines (mutant generation 3 (M3) generation) sunflower obtained through gamma irradiations for yield and attributing traits including oil content (%), quality in terms antioxidant activity expression genes encoding enzymes control irradiated M3 lines.Materials methods Mutant (M3 variety TNAUSUF-7 from 100 130 Gray (Gy) doses irradiation evaluated several such as days 50% flowering, maturity, head diameter,...
With the hypothesis that iron (Fe) deficiency responsive genes may play a role in Fe toxicity conditions, we studied five such OsNAS1, OsNAS3, OsIRO2, OsIRO3 and OsYSL16 across six contrasting rice genotypes for expression under high low phosphorus (P) sequence polymorphism. Genotypes Sahbhagi Dhan, Chakhao Poirieton Shasharang were yielders with no bronzing symptom visible toxic field BAM350 BAM811 but did not show symptoms. Hydroponic screening revealed number of crown roots root length...
