Genetic variations of HvP5CS1 and their association with drought tolerance related traits in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)
Delta-1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase gene1 (P5CS1) is the key gene involved in the biosynthesis of
proline and is significantly induced by drought stress. The exploration of genetic variation in HvP5CS1
may facilitate ...
Molecular and phenotypic diversity of ICARDA spring barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) collection
Plant breeders are interested in using diverse genotypes in hybridization that can segregate for traits of importance with possibility of selection and genetic gain. Information on molecular and agro-morphological diversity ...
Relay Cropping of Cotton in Standing Wheat: An Innovative Approach for Enhancing the productivity and income of Small Farm
The increasing trend of sowing early Bt cotton as mono crop has reduced the area under wheat crop that leads to decrease of output of per unit area. The experiments were carried out in the same field for two consecutive ...
Fish Proper Nutrition and Feeds Preparation
Fishery is an ever growing industry in the word due to fish excellent ability to utilize feeds efficiently and also due to the fish products high nutritional value. Afghanistan is also facing ever growing demand to fishery ...
Impact of Land-use/cover Change on Tree Species Diversity in Dry Forestland in Southeastern Senegal
Given that land use/cover change is one of the major drivers of biodiversity loss, yet this
impact remains poorly quantified. This study aims to estimate the impact of land
use/cover change on tree diversity in the Missirah ...
Quantitative trait loci from identification to exploitation for crop improvement
Rapid advances in the fields of genetics and genomics after the discovery of Mendel’s laws of inheritance have led to map many genes/QTL controlling qualitative and quantitative traits in plant species. Mapping of genomic ...
Trait‐based approaches for guiding the restoration of degraded agricultural landscapes in East Africa
1. Functional ecology provides a framework that can link vegetation characteristics of various land uses with ecosystem function. However, this application has been mostly limited to [semi‐]natural systems and small spatial ...
Soil organic carbon changes after seven years of conservation agriculture in a rice–wheat system of the eastern Indo-Gangetic Plains
Sequestration of soil organic carbon (SOC) is an important strategy to improve soil quality and to mitigate climate change. To investigate changes in SOC under conservation agriculture (CA), we measured SOC concentrations ...
Adoption of multiple climate-smart agricultural practices in the Gangetic plains of Bihar, India
The adoption of climate-smart agricultural practices (CSAPs) is important for sustaining Indian agriculture in the face of climate change. Despite considerable effort by both national and international agricultural ...
Symmetrizing and Variance Stabilizing Transformations of Sample Coefficient of Variation from Inverse Gaussian Distribution
Coefficient of variation (CV) plays an important role in statistical practice; however, its sampling distribution may not be easy to compute. In this paper, the distributional properties of the sample CV from an inverse ...
