Five cytoplasmic male sterile (CMS) were crossed four restorer (R) using twenty line × tester designation combinations. results revealed that all controlled by additive non-additive actions. However, variance...

Soybean is an important oilseed crop worldwide; however, it has a high sensitivity to temperature variation, particularly at the vegetative stage pod-filling stage. Temperature change affects physiochemical and genetic traits regulating soybean agronomic yield. In this regard, current study aimed comparatively evaluate effects of varying regimes day night temperatures (T1 = 20°C/12°C, T2 25°C/17°C, T3 30°C/22°C, T4 35°C/27°C, T5 40°C/32°C) on physiological (chlorophyll, photosynthesis,...

A long history of cultivation in desert regions the Middle East has led to evolution diverse ecotypes very nonwinterdormant alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.). However, relatively little is known about variation among from different East. Relationships between extant Eastern and elite nondormant alfalfas are also not well understood. Both these factors confound use conservation this germplasm resource. The objective study was develop practical numerical analysis procedures describe representative...

The expression of AlSAP, in rice cv. Nipponbare, enhances plant tolerance to cold, drought and salt stresses. AlSAP lines showed 100% survival rate set seeds while control plants did not recover from the cold treatment. Under a severe stress treatment (fraction transpirable soil water down 0.1), exhibited enhanced Transpiration Efficiency (TE) maintained high A (Assimilation rate) value (22 µmol·m(-2) s(-1) ) these values dramatically decreased (A = 4 which were subsequently unable stress....

Hybrid performance during wheat breeding can be improved by analyzing genetic distance (GD) among genotypes and determining its correlation with heterosis. This study evaluated the GD between 16 using 60 simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers to classify them according their relationships select those greater diversity, evaluate of SSR marker heterotic specific combining ability (SCA) for heat stress tolerance, identify traits that most influence grain yield (GY).

Abstract Aeluropus littoralis , a halophyte grass, is widely distributed from the Mediterranean to Indian subcontinent through Mongolian Gobi. This model has garnered increasing attention owing its use as forage and high tolerance environmental stressors. The chloroplast genomes of many plants have been extensively examined for molecular, phylogenetic transplastomic applications. However, no published research on A. (cp) genome was discovered. Here, entire assembled implementing accurate...
