Rice blast resistant gene, Pi54 cloned from rice line, Tetep, is effective against diverse isolates of Magnaporthe oryzae. In this study, we prospected the allelic variants dominant resistance gene a set 92 lines to determine nucleotide diversity, pattern its molecular evolution, phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary dynamics, develop allele specific markers. High quality sequences were generated for homologs gene. Using comparative sequence analysis, InDels variable sizes in all...
Domain swapping and generation of chimeric insecticidal crystal protein is an emerging area insect pest management. The lepidopteran pest, gram pod borer (Helicoverpa armigera H.) wreaks havoc to chickpea crop affecting production. Lepidopteran insects were reported be controlled by Bt (cryI) genes. We designed a plant codon optimized gene (cry1Aabc) using three domains from different cry1A genes (domains I, II, III cry1Aa, cry1Ab, cry1Ac, respectively) expressed it under the control...
Abstract Background Chickpea ( Cicer arietinum L.) is the second most widely grown pulse and drought (limiting water) one of major constraints leading to about 40–50% yield losses annually. Dehydration responsive element binding proteins (DREBs) are important plant transcription factors that regulate expression many stress-inducible genes play a critical role in improving abiotic stress tolerance. Transgenic chickpea lines harbouring factor, Responsive Element-Binding protein 1A from...
The gram pod borer is a major pest of chickpea, accounting for average annual yield losses to the tune 40-50%. VIP3Aa, class insecticidal protein with different receptor binding site in insect's midgut compared Bt-crystal protein, offers an alternative protection strategy against Lepidopteran insects. Here, we report evaluation genetically engineered chickpea lines harboring codon modified Vip3Aa (cmVip3Aa) insect pest, borer. synthetic modified, cmVip3Aa gene 2,370 bp was sub-cloned plant...
Phytophthora capsici incites foliar blight, root, fruit, and crown rot in squash (Cucurbita spp.) limits production worldwide. Resistance to C. moschata breeding line #394-1-27-12 is conferred by three dominant genes, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance are poorly understood. In current study, RNA sequencing was used investigate transcriptional changes (resistant) Butterbush (susceptible) following infection P. at 12, 24, 48, 72, 120 h post inoculation (hpi). Overall,...
Mungbean ( Vigna radiata L.) (family Fabaceae) is a diploid (2n = 2x 22) pulse crop, cultivated predominantly in South East Asia. The genus also contains several major agriculturally important legumes like black gram V. mungo ), rice bean umbellata moth aconitifolia ) and adzuki angularis ). grains are rich protein minerals hence form component of human diet. Mung reported to be domesticated India approx. 4,000-6,000 years ago.
Abstract Cucurbita crops, which include market types of pumpkin and squash, have unparalleled fruit variation equally important economic value worldwide. Pumpkin squash versatile uses but are most popular in culinary, ornamental, snacking, seed oil industries. The production crops is hindered by diseases caused fungal, oomycetes, viral pathogens. Host resistance an component integrated disease management for a major goal plant breeders. This review addresses the , including powdery mildew,...
The asymmetric bipolar pulsed DC sputtering system has been tuned for obtaining selective crystallographic phase namely anatase and rultile structure of TiO2. This achieved by varying oxygen partial pressure total during deposition. deposited films were characterized grazing incident x-ray diffraction Raman scattering. Our investigations inferred a very systematic evolution over rutile as function pressure. results are explained on the basis energy consideration sputtered species its...
Currently, India utilizes an enormous amount of fossil fuels and a major quantity are imported from other countries. It’s giant load on the Indian Economy. The burning causes global warming. Carbon neutral, renewable essential for environmental protection it’s economically sustainable India. Biofuels attention day by due to rise in energy demands concerns. Biodiesel produced algal oil possible carbon-neutral substitute fuels. feasibility algal-based biodiesel industry depends selection...
