Global Resources of Genetic Diversity in Peanut
Peanut or groundnut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an annual herb, with geocarpic fruits, and an indeterminate growth habit. It is classified
as a legume in the plant family Fabaceae. Carl Linneaus first described the cultivated ...
Formulation and Commercialization of Rhizobia: Asian Scenario
The symbiotic agreement of rhizobia with leguminous plants is making a valuable
contribution to agriculture primarily as nitrogen fi xers and secondarily as
plant growth promoters by their key role as phosphate solubilizers, ...
Application of Modern Tools of Biotechnology for Pest Management
Recombinant DNA technology has significantly enhanced our ability for crop improvement, to meet the increased demand for food and fiber. Considerable progress has been made over the past two decades in manipulating genes ...
Barley
Barley being the earliest domesticated cereal is one of the major world crops today. Wide adaptation of barley to ecogeographic conditions and higher response to low input and stressful environments make it globally ...
Wheat
Wheat is one of the most important staple crops of global food and nutritional security. The demand for wheat has been increasing substantially with the increasing human population pressure. Wheat genetic resources including ...
Genotype x Environment Interaction Implication: A Case Study of Durum Wheat Breeding in Iran
The genotype x environment (GE) interaction is a major challenge to plant breeders as it complicates testing and selection of superior genotypes and consequently reduces gains from selection. This chapter introduces and ...
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 ...
Socio-economic and Agricultural Vulnerability Across Districts of Karnataka
Vulnerability assessments can play a vital role in the design of appropriate adaptation and mitigation policies targeted towards climate
change and its impacts on ecosystems, and those who depend upon these resources for ...
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 ...
