Seed size and shape are important traits determining yield quality in soybean. also desirable for specialty soy foods like tofu, natto, miso, edamame. In order to find stable quantitative trait loci (QTLs) candidate genes seed 100-seed weight, the current study used vegetable type soybean-derived F2 F2:3 mapping populations. A total of 42 QTLs were mapped, which dispersed across 13 chromosomes. Of these, seven determined be five them major QTLs, namely qSL-10-1, qSW-4-1, qSV-4-1, qSLW-10-1,...
Water permeability governed by seed coat is a major facet of crops, especially soybean, whose seeds lack physiological dormancy and experience rapid deterioration in viability under prolonged storage. Moreover, the chemical characteristics soybean are known to vary with color. Thus, underpin genes controlling water seeds, we carried out an in-depth characterization associated genomic variation. In present study, have analyzed variation between cultivated its wild progenitor implications on...
ABSTRACT Vegetable soybean, or edamame, renowned for its taste and nutritional benefits, faces a challenge in consumer preference due to beany flavour produced primarily by the gene Lox2 . The development of lipoxygenase‐2 free vegetable soybeans through conventional breeding approaches is time‐consuming. In this study, we attempted eliminate from soybean variety Swarna Vasundhara replacing allele with an alternative allele, that is, lox2 molecular approach under controlled environmental...
Global oilseed crop soybean [ Glycine max (L.) Merrill] contains 18%–20% oil, 40%–45% protein, and countless nutrients vital for human health. It is grown worldwide food, feed, pharmaceutical, industrial applications. However, inherent loss of seed viability during ambient storage poses serious bottleneck in the production maintenance quality seeds. Understanding inheritance mapping quantitative trait loci (QTLs) would help designing breeding program developing varieties with higher In this...
Presence of Kunitz trypsin inhibitor (KTI) in soybean seeds necessitates pre-heat treatment the soy-flour for its inactivation before using it food and feed products. The heat not only enhances processing costs soy-based foods feeds but also affects seed-protein quality solubility. Genetic elimination KTI is an important effective approach. Therefore, molecular marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB) approach was adopted genetic from two popular genotypes, DS9712 DS9814. PI542044, exotic...
Cucumber is an important vegetable crop grown worldwide and highly sensitive to prevailing temperature condition. The physiological, biochemical molecular basis of high stress tolerance poorly understood in this model crop. In the present study, a set genotypes with contrasting response under two different (35/30°C 40/35°C) were evaluated for physiological traits. Besides, expression heat shock proteins (HSPs), aquaporins (AQPs), photosynthesis related genes was conducted selected at...
Abstract Multi‐parent advanced generation inter‐cross (MAGIC) populations have been developed and utilized in crop improvement programs several economically important crops. In the current study, soybean ( Glycine max L.) MAGIC population was evaluated at four locations to identify stable high‐yielding RILs (recombinant inbred lines) understand genotype environmental interaction for grain yield attributing traits. For different traits under pooled analysis of variance indicated significant ×...
One of major problems sub-tropical papaya (Carica L.) cultivation is its susceptibility to low temperature. Here, we report the effect five temperature regimes on C. genotypes and one distant relative cold tolerant species Vasconcellea cundinamarcensis, under complete controlled conditions National Phytotron Facility. The level stress perceived by seedling plants (8-week-old) was quantified quantum efficiency photosystem II (PSII) measuring chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm). V....
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merill] genotype varies in storability period during ambient storage. In this study, 33 genotypes of soybean varying (good and poor) seed coat colour (black yellow) were characterized with 53 SSR 51 RAPD markers. Polymorphisms detected by markers 62.26 68.62%, respectively. Genotypes black showed better (89.85%) than the yellow coated (71.15%) indicating possible association good storability. Genetic similarity coefficients obtained through data analysis grouped...
Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] Seeds loose viability at a rapid pace under tropical and subtropical conditions. Poor seed longevity in cultivated soybean genotypes may associates with size, testa colour coat permeability. Present study aims to understand kinetics of imbibation evaluate the permeability Glycine tomentella, soja max. Out all 125 three species, 20 wild annual perennial species were small hard seeded. All black seeded including suggesting positive correlation size. There was...
Once, a staple food for civilizations and popular feed centuries, millets are treasure trove of micronutrients essential amino acids. Despite being side-lined during the Green Revolution, these small-seeded powerhouses perfectly adapted to harsh dryland conditions such as low rainfall, drought, high temperatures. The require minimal maintenance thrive under stress, showcasing their rich genetic diversity adaptability. However, boosting gain developing high-yielding varieties remains...
The present investigation was carried out by involving six generations of okra, i.e., P1, P2, F1, F2, B1 (F1 × Pusa Bhindi-5) and B2 Sawani) developed from two contrasting parents, one susceptible cultivar Sawani (P1) another newly Bhendi yellow vein mosaic virus (YVMV) resistant variety Bhindi-5 (P2). experimental data showed the maximum PDI (percent disease incidence) in parent (95.56%) followed (47.5%) F2 (29%) after 90 days sowing, whereas Bhindi-5, F1 were recorded highly to YVMV even...
