Bhut jolokia, commonly known as Ghost chili, a native Capsicum species found in North East India was recorded the naturally occurring hottest chili world by Guinness Book of World Records 2006. Although few studies have reported variation pungency content this particular species, no study till date has detailed expression analysis candidate genes involved capsaicinoids (pungency) biosynthesis pathway and other fruit metabolites. Therefore, present designed to evaluate diversity morphology,...
Soybean cyst nematode (SCN, Heterodera glycine Ichinohe) is a major threat to global soybean yield. Resistance genes at the rhg1 locus from PI 88788 are majorly utilized in 95% of U.S. breeding programs. Continuous use this resistance source leads shift virulence SCN populations and overcomes host resistance. Therefore, it necessary identify alternative sources combat ever-changing pest. Previously, we identified an exotic line, 567516C, which carries novel qSCN10 (O) for demonstrating...
Clubroot is one of the major diseases adversely affecting Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa) yield and quality. To precisely characterize Plasmodiophora brassicae infection on cabbage, we developed a dual fluorescent staining method for simultaneously examining pathogen, cell structures, starch grains. The number (amylopectin) grains increased in B. rapa roots infected by P. brassicae, especially from 14 to 21 days after inoculation. Therefore, expression levels 38 core metabolism genes were...
Reddish purple Chinese cabbage (RPCC) is a popular variety of Brassica rapa (AA = 20). It rich in anthocyanins, which have many health benefits. We detected novel anthocyanins including cyanidin 3-(feruloyl) diglucoside-5-(malonoyl) glucoside and pelargonidin 3-(caffeoyl) RPCC. Analyses transcriptome data revealed 32,395 genes 3345 differentially expressed (DEGs) between 3-week-old RPCC green (GCC). The DEGs included 218 transcription factor (TF) some functionally uncharacterized genes....
Abstract Background The nucleotide-binding site–leucine-rich repeat (NBS-LRR) genes are important for plant development and disease resistance. Although genome-wide studies of NBS-encoding have been performed in several species, the evolution, structure, expression, function these remain unknown radish ( Raphanus sativus L.). A recently released draft R. L. reference genome has facilitated identification characterization radish. Results total 225 were identified based on essential NB-ARC...
Abstract Identification and characterization of soybean germplasm gene(s)/allele(s) for salt tolerance is an effective way to develop improved varieties saline soils. Previous studies identified GmCHX1 (Glyma03g32900) as a major gene in soybean, two main functional variations were found the promoter region (148/150 bp insertion) third exon with retrotransposon insertion (3.78 kb). In current study, we four salt-tolerant lines, including PI 483460B (Glycine soja), carrying previously...
Apart from using traditionally in culinary preparations, chili peppers are also important constituents of herbal medicines. Although the bioactive components studied mostly fruits Capsicum annuum, no such study reports till date is available for Ghost (C. chinense) North East India. Therefore, aim this was to carry out an analysis naturally occurring hottest chinense), and evaluate its antioxidant, pro/anti-genotoxic, apoptotic effects vitro vivo models. Three different antioxidant assays...
Clubroot caused by Plasmodiophora brassicae is a severe disease of cruciferous crops that decreases crop quality and productivity. Several clubroot resistance-related quantitative trait loci candidate genes have been identified. However, the underlying regulatory mechanism, interrelationships among genes, how are regulated remain unexplored. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) attracting attention as regulators gene expression, including during biotic stress responses. The main objective this study was to...
The B-box zinc-finger transcription factors are important for plant growth, development, and various physiological processes such as photomorphogenesis, light signaling, flowering, well several biotic abiotic stress responses. However, there is relatively little information available regarding Brassica genes their expression. In this study, we identified 51, 52, 101 non-redundant encoding proteins in rapa (BrBBX genes), B. oleracea (BoBBX napus (BnBBX respectively. A whole-genome...
The indigenous communities across the globe especially in rural areas consume locally available plants known as Traditional Food Plants (TFPs) for their nutritional and health-related needs. Recent research shows that many of traditional food are highly nutritious they contain health beneficial metabolites, vitamins, mineral elements other nutrients. Excessive reliance on mainstream staple crops has its own disadvantages. TFPs nowadays considered important future can act supplementary foods...
Clubroot resistance is an economically important trait in Brassicaceae crops. Although many quantitative loci (QTLs) for clubroot have been identified Brassica, disease-related damage continues to occur owing differences host variety and constant pathogen variation. Here, we investigated the inheritance of a double haploid population developed by crossing resistant susceptible lines “09CR500” “09CR501”, respectively. The Plasmodiophora brassicae pathotype “Banglim” was controlled as single...
Radish flower color, bolting time, and flowering time are important traits for attracting certain pollinators affect fleshy root quality. In this study, an analysis of the anthocyanidins in radish flowers by high-performance liquid chromatography revealed that differences cyanidin content likely to be associated with variability colors (i.e., purple white petals). A quantitative trait loci (QTL) identified nine QTLs on three Raphanus sativus linkage groups. Three QTLs—qRFC1, qRBT1,...
Hybrid breeding is one of the efficacious methods crop improvement. Here, we report our work towards understanding molecular basis F1 hybrid heterosis from Capsicum chinense and C. frutescens cross. Bisulfite sequencing identified a total 70597 CG, 108797 CHG, 38418 CHH differentially methylated regions (DMRs) across parents, these, 4891 DMRs showed higher methylation in compared to mid-parental values (MPMV). Transcriptome analysis expression 46-55% expressed genes (DE-Gs) hybrid. The...
