Drought is one of the major impediments in wheat productivity. Traditional breeding and marker assisted QTL introgression had limited success. Available genomic RNA-seq data can decipher novel drought tolerance mechanisms with putative candidate gene discovery. first sensed by root tissue but information available about how roots respond to stress. In this view, two contrasting genotypes, namely, NI5439 41 (drought tolerant) WL711 susceptible) were used generate ~78.2 GB for responses...
Pearl millet, (Pennisetum glaucum L.), an efficient (C4) crop of arid/semi-arid regions is known for hardiness. Crop valuable bio-fortification combating malnutrition and diabetes, higher caloric value wider climatic resilience. Limited studies are done in pot-based experiments drought response at gene-expression level, but field-based experiment mimicking by withdrawal irrigation still warranted. We report de novo assembly-based transcriptomic signature induced pearl millet. found 19983...
Wheat genetic improvement by integration of advanced genomic technologies is one way improving productivity. To facilitate the breeding economically important traits in wheat, SNP loci and underlying candidate genes associated with 36 agro-morphological were studied a diverse panel 404 genotypes. By using Breeders' 35K Axiom array comprehensive genome-wide association study covering 4364.79 cM wheat genome applying compressed mixed linear model, total 146 SNPs (-log10P ≥ 4) found 23 out...
Among several important wheat foliar diseases, Stripe rust (YR), Leaf (LR), and Stem (SR) have always been an issue of concern to the farmers breeders. Evolution virulent pathotypes these rusts has posed frequent threats epidemic. Pyramiding rust-resistant genes are most economical environment-friendly approach in postponing this inevitable threat. To achieve durable long term resistance against three rusts, attempt study was made searching for novel sources resistant alleles a panel 483...
Sesame (Sesamum indicum) is an important indigenous oilseed crop but its growth and productivity are severely affected by abiotic stresses. Class III peroxidases key stress related enzymes that exclusively occur in plant kingdom, however, their specific involvement sesame remains largely unexplored. The present study aimed to identify the PRX gene family elucidate role conferring drought tolerance contrasting accessions. Through genome-wide analysis of family, 45 non-redundant members...
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has now spread across the nations with high mortality rates and multifaceted impact on human life. proper treatment methods to overcome this contagious disease are still limited. main protease enzyme (Mpro, also called 3CLpro) is essential for viral replication been considered as one of potent drug targets treating COVID-19. In study, virtual screening was performed find out molecular interactions between 36 natural compounds derived from...
The impact of climate change has been alarming for the crop growth. extreme weather conditions can stress crops and reduce yield major belonging to Poaceae family too, that sustains 50% world’s food calorie 20% protein intake. Computational approaches, such as artificial intelligence-based techniques have become forefront prediction-based data interpretation plant responses. In this study, we proposed a novel activation function, namely, Gaussian Error Linear Unit with Sigmoid (SIELU) which...

Abstract Amidst the global challenge of extreme poverty, livestock sector can significantly contribute to sustainable development goals by enhancing resilience, smallholder productivity, and market participation. The Indian is one largest in world with a total population 535.82 million, ∼10.7% world’s population. Buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) holds significant importance India other Asian countries, notably contributing their economies surpassing cattle milk production providing various valuable...
Heat stress is one of the significant constraints affecting wheat production worldwide. To ensure food security for ever-increasing world population, improving heat tolerance needed in presently drifting climatic conditions. At molecular level, governed by a complex interplay various stress-associated genes. We used comparative transcriptome sequencing approach to study effect (5°C above ambient threshold temperature 20°C) during grain filling stages genotype K7903 (Halna). 7 DPA (days...
Sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) is an ancient oilseed crop belonging to the family Pedaliaceae and a globally cultivated for its use as oil food. In this study, 2496 sesame accessions, being conserved at National Genebank of ICAR-National Bureau Plant Genetic Resources (NBPGR), were genotyped using genomics-assisted double-digest restriction-associated DNA sequencing (ddRAD-seq) approach. A total 64,910 filtered single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) utilized assess genome-scale diversity....
Wheat fulfills 20% of global caloric requirement. World needs 60% more wheat for 9 billion population by 2050 but climate change with increasing temperature is projected to affect productivity adversely. Trait improvement and management germplasm requires genomic resource. Simple Sequence Repeats (SSRs) being highly polymorphic ubiquitously distributed in the genome, can be a marker choice there no structured database options generate primer pairs genotyping on desired chromosome/physical...
Mango is one of the most important fruits tropical ecological region world, well known for its nutritive value, aroma and taste. Its world production >45MT worth >200 billion US dollars. Genomic resources are required improvement in productivity management mango germplasm. There no web-based genomic available mango. Hence rapid cost-effective high throughput putative marker discovery to develop such resources. RAD-based can cater this urgent need till whole genome sequence becomes available....
Spike fertility and associated traits are key factors in deciding the grain yield potential of wheat. Genome-wide association study (GWAS) interwoven with advanced post-GWAS analysis such as a genotype-phenotype network (geno-pheno network) for spike fertility, yield, allow to identify novel genomic regions represents attractive targets future marker-assisted wheat improvement programs. In this study, GWAS was performed on 200 diverse genotypes using Breeders' 35K Axiom array that led...
To reduce the genome sequence representation, restriction site-associated DNA sequencing (RAD-seq) protocols is being widely used either with single-digest or double-digest methods. In this study, we genotyped sesame population (48 sample size) in a pilot scale to compare single and RAD-seq (sd ddRAD-seq) We analysed resulting short-read data generated from both assessed their performance impacting downstream analysis using various parameters.
