COVID-19 is a highly infectious disease caused by SARS-CoV-2, first identified in China and spread globally, resulting into pandemic. Transmission of virus takes place either directly through close contact with infected individual (symptomatic/asymptomatic) or indirectly touching contaminated surfaces. Virus survives on the surfaces from few hours to days. It enters human body nose, eyes mouth. Other sources contamination are faeces, blood, food, water, semen etc. Parameters such as...
Bread wheat (Triticum aestivum) is a globally dominant crop and major source of calories proteins for the human diet. Compared with its wild ancestors, modern bread shows lower genetic diversity, caused by polyploidisation, domestication breeding bottlenecks
Heat stress is a critical factor affecting global wheat production and productivity. In this study, out of 500 studied germplasm lines, diverse panel 126 genotypes grown under twelve distinct environmental conditions was analyzed. Using 35 K single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) genotyping assays trait data on five biochemical parameters, including grain protein content (GPC), amylose (GAC), total soluble sugars (TSS), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn) content, six multi-locus GWAS (ML-GWAS) models were...
Aegilops tauschii, the D-genome progenitor of Triticum aestivum, encompasses huge diversity for various traits potential economic importance such as yield, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, quality nutrition. In present study, variation grain size in Ae. tauschii germplasm was studied its genetic basis dissected using genome wide association study (GWAS). Grain length, width weight evaluated 177 accessions over three years showed near normal distribution with 1.74, 1.75 2.82-fold...
Aegilops umbellulata , a non‐progenitor diploid species, is an excellent source of resistance to various wheat diseases. Leaf rust and stripe genes from A. were transferred the susceptible cultivar WL 711 through induced homoeologous pairing. A doubly resistant introgression line IL 393‐4 was crossed with PBW 343 develop mapping population. Tests on BC 2 F 7 RIL s indicated monogenic inheritance seedling leaf in respective co‐segregating tentatively named LrUmb YrUmb . Bulked segregant...
Abstract Heat shock proteins (HSPs) have a significant role in protein folding and are considered as prominent candidates for development of heat-tolerant crops. Understanding wheat HSPs has great importance since is severely affected by heat stress, particularly during the grain filling stage. In present study, efforts were made to identify understand their plant under different stress conditions. genome first identified using Position-Specific Scoring Matrix (PSSMs) known HSP domains then...
Wheat variety PBW343, released in India 1995, became the most widely grown cultivar country by year 2000 owing to its wide adaptability and yield potential. It initially succumbed leaf rust, resistance genes Lr24 Lr28 were transferred PBW343. After an unbroken reign of about 10 years, virulence against gene Yr27 made PBW343 susceptible stripe rust. Owing potential, prime target for marker-assisted introgression rust genes. The rust-resistant versions formed base pyramiding Yr5, Yr10, Yr15,...
Present cytological investigations from the cold desert regions of Lahaul-Spiti and Kinnaur (India) record first ever tetraploid (2n=32) chromosome count cytomixis in Clematis orientalis L. var. acutifolia Hook. f. et Thoms. The phenomenon (9.33-29.80 %) involving chromatin transfer among 2-3 proximate pollen mother cells (PMCs) during male meiosis occurs through narrow broad cytoplasmic channels early prophase to tetrad stage. However, frequency its occurrence later meiotic stages is rather...
Genes transferred to crop plants from wild species are often associated with deleterious traits. Using molecular markers, we detected a cryptic introgression leaf rust resistance gene Aegilops triuncialis L. into common wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.). One agronomically desirable rust‐resistant line was selected and advanced BC 3 F 11 cross of hexaploid A. In situ hybridization using genomic DNA as probe failed detect the alien introgression. The translocation resistant most prevalent races in...
Abstract Nitrogen transport is one of the most important processes in plants mediated by specialized transmembrane proteins. Plants have two main systems for nitrogen uptake from soil and its within system—a low-affinity system a high-affinity system. Nitrate transporters are special interest cereal crops because large amount money spent on N fertilizers every year to enhance crop productivity. Till date four gene families nitrate transporter proteins; NPF (nitrate 1/peptide family), NRT2 2...
Aegilops tauchii is a D-genome donor of hexaploid wheat and potential source genes for various biotic abiotic stresses including heat drought. In the present study, we used multi-stage evaluation technique to understand effects drought on Ae. tauschii derived introgression lines (ILs). Preliminary (during stage-I) 369 ILs agronomic traits identified 59 agronomically superior ILs. second stage (stage-II), selected ( i.e. , ILs) were evaluated seedling (at 30 °C 35 °C) 20% poly-ethylene...
Abstract Chickpea is sensitive to low temperature (<10°C) during its reproductive stage. Low adversely affects the development of pods and seeds. This study was undertaken investigate role sucrose metabolizing enzymes in seed potential antioxidative protecting seeds podwalls from deleterious effects cold stress advanced tolerant chickpea breeding lines. Healthy pod set observed these lines end December where as susceptible PBG‐1 did not flower. Two ICCV 96029 96030 showed characters such...
