Abstract Potato is a modified stem, which rich in starch. Very often, potato categorized as high glycemic index (GI) food. Consuming GI foods should be done with moderation to prevent insulinemic spikes, can preventive measure against diabetes and related disorders. A modified, inexpensive, precise vitro method developed for estimation of tubers. Among the six varieties, Kufri Chipsona‐3 exhibits highest (83.08) whereas Jyoti has lowest value (72.87); resistant starch (RS) content being...

Drought is a shortfall of water availability sufficient to cause loss in yield. Agricultural drought situation where the moisture supply inadequate meet requirement crop. To cope with drought, resistant/tolerant plants initiate defense strategies against deficit, which are categorized as morphological and physiochemical/biochemical mechanisms. Plant tolerance involves changes at whole-plant, tissue, physiological molecular levels. Manifestation single or combination inherent determines...

The growing global demand and shift from synthetic to natural fibers highlight the need overcome yield plateau in jute production. Despite being a sustainable alternative plastic, faces declining cultivation, making improvement crucial meet increasing demand. In this direction, study was designed explore hybridization combining ability improve genetic potential of jute. Using diallel mating design, 90 hybrid combinations were evaluated along with 10 parental lines, focusing on traits such as...

The potato apical leaf curl disease is caused by tomato New Delhi virus-potato (ToLCNDV-potato), which severely alters a plant's starch metabolism, hydrolysing enzymes, and antioxidant mechanism. In this study, the result suggested that ToLCNDV-potato significantly (p < 0.01) affected morphological parameters photosynthetic pigment system in both cultivars of potato, viz., Kufri Pukhraj (susceptible) Bahar (tolerant). However, impact was lower Bahar. Moreover, viral infection showed...

Sugar Efflux transporters (SWEET) are involved in diverse biological processes of plants. Pathogens have exploited them for nutritional gain and subsequently promote disease progression. Recent studies implied the involvement potato SWEET genes most devastating late blight caused by Phytophthora infestans. Here, we identified designated 37 putative as StSWEET potato. We performed detailed silico analysis, including gene structure, conserved domains, phylogenetic relationship. Publicly...

Present investigation was undertaken at ICAR-CRIJAF, Barrackpore, West Bengal, India during summer season (Apr–July) of 2020 to identify the jute breeding lines resistant stem rot which is one major problems in production. The identified and susceptible accessions (RS-6 OIJ-272, respectively) were crossed develop a mapping population for disease. resultant F2 comprising 125 plants screened resistance disease caused by Macrophomina phaseolina following artificial inoculation. progress...

Background: Vascular wilt caused by Fusarium oxysporum f.sp. lentis Vasu. and Srini. is a serious disease of lentil (Lens culinaris Medikus), causes severe yield losses worldwide. For effective resistance breeding the inheritance mapping gene (s) necessary. Therefore, present investigation was focused on study mode tag/map for fusarium in lentil. Methods: Bulked segregant analysis (BSA) approach used to identify markers that were tightly linked gene. The wilt-resistance investigated F2 F2:3...
