Abstract We report here the genome-wide changes resulting from low N (N-W+), water (N+W-)) and dual stresses (N-W-) in root shoot tissues of two rice genotypes, namely, IR 64 (IR64) Nagina 22 (N22), their association with QTLs for nitrogen use efficiency. For all parameters, except length under N-W+, N22 performed better than IR64. Chlorophyll a, b carotenoid content were higher IR64 N+W+ treatment N-W+ N+W- stresses; however, stress, had chlorophyll content. While nitrite reductase,...

<title>Abstract</title> Wheat is the staple food for 40% of world, providing 20% dietary energy and protein. However, along with nutrition, wheat contains several anti-nutritional macromolecules. Amylase/Trypsin inhibitors (ATIs) are one such macromolecular proteins which have been known to cause allergic reactions like baker's asthma, auto-immunogenic Non-Celiac Sensitivity, primary triggers Celiac Disease in some predisposed humans. Bread varieties without ATI molecules or reduced activity...

The contamination of surface waters with multidrug resistant (MDR) coliforms is a major public health concern in developing countries. This study was aimed to evaluate the occurrence antibiotic resistance and role integrons spread genes Escherichia coli isolated from urban river Yamuna. One hundred forty-one strains E. were assessed for wherein high observed Cefazolin. Integrons (class 1 class 2) detected 32% isolates. Variable region integron carried different gene cassettes, namely....

Wheat grain development after anthesis is an important biological process, in which major components of seeds are synthesised, and these further required for germination seed vigour. We have made a comparative RNA-Seq analysis between hexaploid wheat its individual diploid progenitors to know the differentially expressed genes (DEGs) involved during development. Two libraries from each species were generated with average 55.63, 55.23, 68.13, 103.81 million reads, resulting 79.3K, 113.7K,...

Understanding the beneficial plant-microbe interactions is becoming extremely critical for deploying microbes imparting plant fitness and achieving sustainability in agriculture. Diazotrophic bacteria have unique ability to survive without external sources of nitrogen simultaneously promote host growth, but mechanisms endophytic interaction cereals legumes not been studied extensively. We early two diazotrophic bacteria, Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus (GAB) Bradyrhizobium japonicum (BRH),...

Abstract Gluten (gliadin + glutenin) protein in wheat flour is affected by high temperature (day and/or night) resulting undesirable consequences on dough quality. A study was conducted with early and late‐maturing genotypes, to assess the spatial ( superior ‐ central inferior apical basal spikelets) variation composition of gluten subfractions developing ear under night (HNT). We hypothesised that content grains may show a differential quantitative qualitative response HNT. HNT resulted...

Wheat is a major food crop and an important component of human diet throughout the world. There are two types cultivated wheat; one tetraploid durum (pasta) wheat another hexaploid bread wheat. grain reservoir dietary components – carbohydrate protein, which get accumulated during seed maturation directly affects yield quality. Hexaploid, having 6 copies each chromosome differs to great extent from 4 chromosome. Studying gene expression pattern in developing would help understanding...

<title>Abstract</title> Developing a highly efficient and reproducible plant regeneration protocol holds paramount significance in advancing technology for the genetic transformation of rice genotypes, facilitating their further utilization crop improvement breeding programs. Nagina 22 (N22), an <italic>aus</italic> type genotype, has tolerance against multiple stresses, requires very protocol, developing improved lines. However, standardized this elite genotype not been reported so far,...
