ABSTRACT The sorghum [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] germplasm collection at the ICRISAT gene bank exceeds 37,000 accessions. A core of 2247 accessions was developed in 2001 to enable researchers have access a smaller set germplasm. However, this found be too large. To overcome this, mini (10% or 1% entire collection) from existing collection. evaluated for 11 qualitative and 10 quantitative traits an augmented design using three control cultivars 2004–2005 post‐rainy season. hierarchical...
Foxtail millet ( Setaria italica (L.) Beauv.) is one of the ten small millets and cultivated in 23 countries. The foxtail valued as a crop short duration, which good food, feed fodder. In general, grain yield levels are low comparison with other staple cereals. greater use diverse germplasm breeding suggested means to improve productivity this crop. International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics genebank presently holding 1474 accessions from To utilize diversity research, core...
The response to selection in any crop improvement program depends on the degree of variance and heritability. objective current study was explain heritability components Indian mustard Brassica juncea (L). Czern & Coss recognize promising genotypes for effective breeding. Two hundred eighty-nine diverse accessions belonging four continents were analyzed yield yield-related traits (20 traits) over two seasons (2017–2018 2018–2019) using an alpha lattice design. genetic found be...
Chickpea is one of the most important grain legume crops in world. Large collections genetic resources are maintained International Crops Research Institute for Semi-Arid Tropics (ICRISAT) and Center Agricultural Dry Areas (ICARDA) genebanks. Association mapping using neutral markers has been suggested as a means to identify useful alleles vast reservoirs diversity existing germplasm that could be associated with phenotypes among population individuals. ICRISAT collaboration ICARDA developed...
Abstract Damask rose ( Rosa damascena Mill.) is a high-value aromatic plant species belonging to the family Rosaceae. It being cultivated throughout world for essential oil production. Besides its higher demand in and cosmetic industry, obtained has many pharmacological cytotoxic activities. The primary concern of growers with available varieties damask short flowering duration, low content unstable yield. Thus, there requirement developing new stable flower yield content. present study...
Abstract One of the major challenges in medicinal plant cultivation is seed dormancy which occurs more frequently wild plants than crop plants. Seed enables seeds to endure periods that are unfavorable for seedling establishment. It may arise due many factors like impermeable coat water and oxygen, rudimentary dormant embryo germination inhibitors. Multiple mechanisms known be involved induction transition from germination. Scarifications, stratification, chilling some important ways...
Downy mildew, caused by the pathogen Sclerospora graminicola (Sacc.) J. Schröt, can cause devastating yield losses in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.]. Breeding for resistance to downy mildew is facilitated an artificial glasshouse screening method that be used worldwide. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) mapping was determine whether QTLs identified under field conditions India were also detected screens carried out and UK. mapped using 114 individual progeny derived from a...
ABSTRACT Peanut ( Arachis hypogaea L.) is extensively grown by resource‐poor farmers in the semiarid tropics where many abiotic and biotic stresses limit crop's productivity seed quality. cultivars with enhanced host‐plant resistance, adaptation to stress, input‐use efficiency, yield potential will maximize gains minimize inputs sustain production. The peanut mini core collection was evaluated for agronomic traits multienvironment trials at Patancheru, India. published information on 184...
Abstract Billions of people around the world suffer from malnutrition, leading to severe adverse health effects. Pearl millet ( Pennisetum glaucum ) is a multifaceted versatile crop with excellent nutritional profile which can help combat disorders and climate change. In this study, we evaluated global pearl germplasm panel known as PMiGAP for natural variation genetic maker trait associations important minerals, that is, iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, potassium sodium along phytate. The...
Tolerance to low temperature is an important prerequisite for optimal performance of peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) in a number temperate peanut-growing environments. One hundred fifty-eight accessions belonging five botanical types, known be tolerant (12°C) at germination, were evaluated phenotypic diversity 15 morphological traits the 2001 rainy season and agronomic two seed quality 2001/2002 post-rainy seasons. Analysis data, using residual maximum-likelihood approach indicated that...
The present investigation was made to generate information on the heterotic pools amongst pearl millet hybrid parents. A set of 17 representative parents selected from a diverse 147 using SSR based genetic distance (GD) and clustering pattern; 136 hybrids were developed in diallel fashion evaluated at two locations India. Moderate positive significant correlation (r = 0.37, p<0.01) 0.33, found between GD mid-parent heterosis (MPH) better-parent (BPH), respectively, for grain yield all...
Sorghum downy mildew (SDM), caused by Peronosclerospora sorghi Weston and Uppal (Shaw), is a serious disease of sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] maize (Zea mays L.). The wild relatives sorghum, both cross compatible incompatible with S. bicolor, could provide alternate sources resistance genes for the long-term control SDM. objective this study was to assess reaction several taxa weedy sorghums. One hundred three sorghums, six cultivated types belonging five sections, representing 17...
SUMMARY Three formulations of the systemic fungicide metalaxyl were tested in various seed treatments for control pearl millet downy mildew three field experiments with mildew‐susceptible hybrid NHB‐3. Uniform, high levels sporangial inoculum causal fungus, Sclerospora graminicola , provided throughout growth test crops from inoculated infector rows NHB‐3, planted earlier between plots. Significant reductions obtained all treatments. Best was when soaked a 0.5% aqueous solution liquid...
The present investigation was performed to assess genetic divergence and heterosis prediction in hybrid parents of pearl millet [ Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R Br.] using simple sequence repeat (SSR) single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers. Using 56 SSR loci, 412 alleles were detected 147 lines with an average 7.36 per locus, 75,007 SNP loci 117 lines. Both SSR‐ SNP‐based clustering structure analysis partitioned all maintainer (B) restorer (R) into two clear‐cut separate groups, indicating...
Abstract German chamomile is an important medicinal and aromatic herb known for its blue essential oil. It lacks studies on anthesis, breeding systems floral development with their impact the Therefore, study investigated divided it into six reproductive stages (RS-1 to RS-6). The first four (5–6 days long) were identified as enlargement differentiation, followed by fifth stage (10 of three anthesis flushes, i.e., anther dehiscence, ray disc florets' style branches flush. Anther dehiscence...
