Microbial symbiosis helps host insects by supplementing necessary diet elements, providing protec...
The worldwide continuous growth of the human population resulted in increased demands for food. The green revolution has increased food production significantly (Evenson and Gollin 2003). But this increase in yield was often accompanied by reduced nutritional quality (Simmonds 1995; Oury et al. 2003). More than one billion people suffer from the lo...
For the burgeoning global population, sustainable agriculture practices are crucial for accomplishing the zero-hunger goal. The agriculture sector is very concerned about the rise in insecticide resistance and the Modern Environmental Health Hazards (MEHHs) that are problems for public health due to on pesticide exposure and residues. Currently, fa...
Alliums are not considered breeder-friendly crops due to their complex nature, breeding behaviour and large genome. The study of trait genetics and breeding of Allium crops is challenging due to some inherent characteristics such as a high degree of cross-pollination, inbreeding depression and biannual life cycle in many alliaceous crops. Hence, de...
