Abstract Microbial lipases occupy a vital position with respect to their industrial applications and they are studied extensively. Thermophilic microorganisms potential sources of thermostable alkaline lipases, which have been isolated from various natural origins. Most can act in wide range pH temperature, though bacterial more common. Thermostable commercial value find biotechnological sectors such as additives detergents, food industries, environmental bioremediations molecular biology....
Abstract With progressive climate change and the associated increase in mean temperature, heat stress tolerance has emerged as one of key traits product profile maize breeding pipeline for lowland tropics. The present study aims to identify genomic regions with tropical maize. An association mapping panel, called tolerant (HTAM) was constituted by involving a total 543 inbred lines from diverse genetic backgrounds, test-crossed phenotyped across nine locations South Asia under natural...
Abstract Rapid cycle genomic selection (RC‐GS) helps to shorten the breeding and reduce costs of phenotyping, thereby increasing genetic gains in terms both cost time. We implemented RC‐GS on two multi‐parent yellow synthetic (MYS) populations constituted by intermating ten elite lines involved each population, including four drought waterlogging tolerant donors commercial lines, with proven value. Cycle 1 (C ) was based phenotypic top 5% 500 S 2 families derived from MYS test‐crossed...
Spring maize area has emerged as a niche market in South Asia. Production of during this post-rainy season is often challenged due to heat stress. Therefore, incorporating stress resilience an important trait for incorporation hybrids selected deployment season. However, the significant genotype × environment interaction (GEI) effects under stress, major challenge lies identifying genotypes with improved stable performance across locations and years. In present study, we attempted identify...
Erratic rainfall often results in intermittent drought and/or waterlogging and limits maize (Zea mays L.) productivity many parts of the Asian tropics. Developing climate-resilient germplasm possessing tolerance to these key abiotic stresses without a yield penalty under optimal growing conditions is challenge for breeders working stress-vulnerable agro-ecologies region. Breeding stress-resilient rainfed stress-prone ecologies identified as one priority areas CIMMYT-Asia program. We applied...
Abstract In the present investigation, we have defined a novel biopolymer from Bacillus megaterium strain with melt stability, high tensile strength, and elongation to break properties higher polypropylene similar polyethylene polymers available commercially. The polymer was characterized FTIR XRD. percent crystalinity found 44.09% strength 42 (Mpa) (%) 142 than polypropylene. polymeric were confirmed by differential scanning calorimeter universal testing.
Most parts of the Asian tropics are hotspots climate change effects and associated weather variabilities. One major challenges with is uncertainty inter-annual variability in conditions as crops frequently exposed to different extremes within same season. Therefore, agricultural research must strive develop new crop varieties inbuilt resilience towards variable rather than merely tolerance individual stresses a specific situation and/or at stage. C4 known for their wider adaptation range...
This study aims at comparative diffusion/ dispersal capacities, seasonal and diurnal pollution potential (i.e., to explain the ability of atmosphere stagnate or dilute pollutants) some industrial areas Chhattisgarh in India. For this purpose, meteorological data two stations viz. Raipur Korba have been analyzed for period five years (1998 -2002) which included four representative months: winter (January), pre-monsoon (April), monsoon (July) post-monsoon (October). The analysis shows absence...

 Place Duration Study: Sample: Farmer’s field Dhankhuloi village Jorhat district,Assam Department Horticulture,Assam Agricultural University,Jorhat,India, during November-April two consecutive years 2019-20 2020-21.
 Methodology: We included twenty treatments which were...
The present investigation was conducted with nine genotypes in randomized block design (RBD) during Rabi, 2019-20 across the spacings viz., 60 cm x 20 and 50 at ICR farm, AAU, Jorhat. In pooled analysis of variance, genotype mean square spacing significant to highly for all traits except ears per plant. due days 50% silk, plant, leaf area index DAS (days after sowing), 90 DAS, harvest grain moisture. Each hybrids responded similarly from pollen shed, 100% dry husk, anthesis-silking interval,...
The present investigation was conducted comprising of the parental lines and F1 progenies derived from a 6 x diallel cross among cowpea varieties, excluding reciprocals. Analysis variance revealed presence sufficient variation genotypes for all characters studied. For seed yield both GCA SCA variances were significant, while significant pods per cluster plant height, number primary branches pod length. Variety JCC-4 followed by UPC-622 good general combiner attributing characters. Maximum...
