Annotation of Trait Loci on Integrated Genetic Maps of Arachis Species
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is second, behind soybean, in the world’s legume oilseed market. In 2012, global
production was 41.2metric tons from an area of 24.7million hectares (FAOSTAT, 2014). Yield of peanut ...
Cultivation of sweet sorghum on heavy metal contaminated soils by phytoremediation approach for production of bioethanol
The term heavy metal (HM) has a wide range of meanings, and there has been no consistent definition by any authoritative body such
as International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) over the past 60 years. But ...
Role of Heat Shock Proteins in Improving Heat Stress Tolerance in Crop Plants
High temperature response (HTR) or heat stress response (HSR) is a highly conserved phenomenon, which involves complex networks
among different crop species. Heat stress usually results in protein dysfunction by improper ...
Sorghum: A Multipurpose Bioenergy Crop
Bioethanol and biodiesel produced from renewable energy sources are gaining
importance in light of volatile fossil fuel prices, depleting oil reserves, and increasing
greenhouse effects associated with the use of fossil ...
Impact of Climate Change on Agriculture and Food Security
Evidences over the past few decades show that significant changes in climate are taking place all over the world as a result of
enhanced human activities in deforestation, emission of various greenhouse gases, and ...
Role of public-private partnerships in biopesticides and biofertilizers research and development for sustaining agriculture production
PublicPrivatePartnerships
(PPPs) are important in involving private sectors for harnessing their efficient and enhanced mass
production and delivery of consumer products and services. In agriculture, the rationale for these ...
Formulations of Plant Growth- Promoting Microbes for Field Applications
Development of a plant growth-promoting (PGP) microbe needs several
steps starting with isolation of a pure culture, screening of its PGP or
antagonistic traits by means of different effi cacy bioassays performed
in vitro, ...
