A transgenic approach to control hemipteran insects by expressing insecticidal genes under phloem-specific promoters
The first generation transgenic crops used strong constitutive promoters for transgene expression.
However, tissue-specific expression is desirable for more precise targeting of transgenes. Moreover,
piercing/sucking ...
Genetic Variability of Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) for Water Logging and Salinity Tolerance under in vitro and in vivo Conditions
Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.) genotypes acquired from diverse sources, were screened for water logging and salinity tolerance under laboratory and field conditions. Analysis of variance revealed significant ...
Monitoring biosafety of pharmaceutical drugs, insecticides, and other bioactive molecules to mitochondria
Mitochondria are large cell organelles in plant and animal cells. They convert chemical energy from food in the cell to usable energy
using oxygen. This process is called oxidative phosphorylation, which takes place inside ...
Effect of integrated agronomic practices on hybrids and pure-line varieties under different environmental conditions in pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millspaugh]
The field experiment was conducted at two locations during kharif 2011 and 2012 at Vasantrao Naik Marathwada Krishi
Vidyapeeth (VNMKV), Parbhani, Maharashtra and International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid ...
Discrimination of maize crop with hybrid polarimetric RISAT1 data
Microwave remote sensing provides an attractive approach to
determine the spatial variability of crop characteristics. Synthetic
aperture radar (SAR) image data provide unique possibility of
acquiring data in all weather ...
RNA Interference based Approach to Down Regulate Osmoregulators of Whitefly (Bemisia tabaci): Potential Technology for the Control of Whitefly
Over the past decade RNA interference (RNAi) technology has emerged as a successful tool not only for functional genomics, but in planta expression of short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that could offer great potential for ...
Influence of plant growth retardants on growth, seed yield and quality in onion (Allium cepa) cv. Pusa Riddhi
A field experiment was conducted at New Delhi during rabi 2013-14 and 2014-15 to evaluate the effect of growth retardants on seed scape height, seed yield and quality attributes in onion (Allium cepa L.) cv. Pusa Riddhi.The ...
Impacts of changing climate and snow cover on the flow regime of Jhelum River, Western Himalayas
This study examines the change in climate variables and snow cover dynamics and their impact on the hydrological regime of the Jhelum River basin in Western Himalayas. This study utilized daily streamflow records from ...
Evaluation of CropSyst model for clusterbean under hot arid condition
The study on “Evaluation of Cropsyst model for yield and water productivity of clusterbean” was conducted on farmers
field during kharif 2012 at village Mainawali in Hanumangarh district of Rajasthan. The soils of the area ...
Genetic variability for mineral nutrients in lentil
The present study was conducted to analyze the concentration of 8 important mineral nutrients namely calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), selenium (Se), and cadmium (Cd) ...
