Hexaploid wheat is the main cereal food crop for most people but it is highly influenced by climatic variations. The influence of these climatic variations was studies in wheat genotype WH -1184 in field conditions under two different environments (normal and late sown) and it was found that the genotype is less yielding under late sown conditions....
Stripe rust instigated by Puccinia striiformis f. sp. tritici causes major yield loss in wheat In this study, disease resistance was induced in wheat by pre-activation of pathogenesis related (PR) genes using two different nano-formulations (NFs) i.e. Chitosan- Salicylic acid (SA) NFs (CH-NFs) and Zinc sulphate NFs (Zn-NFs). These NFs were synthesi...

Aim: To screen wheat populations derived from cross DBW17 × WH1105 for loci imparting yellow rust resistance and selection of plants using polymorphic SSRs. Methodology: The study for yellow rust resistance was carried out on two populations, i.e., BC1F2 and BC2F2. Stress was provided by planting infector rows between the blocks and by artificial i...
A total of 243 genotypes of pigeonpea were evaluated during Kharif, 2019 on the basis of DUS and D2-cluster analysis. Pigeonpea genotypes were grown in the augmented design for evaluation. Morphological characterization was done based on plant descriptors for pigeonpea at different stages of plant growth. The cluster analysis grouped all the genoty...
Background: Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.), commonly known as gram or Bengal gram, is a self-pollinated diploid plant (2n= 2x= 16) ranked third after common bean and field pea. Genetic diversity assessment is the fundamental of any breeding programme, conservation of genetic resources and as a general guide for the choice of parents in hybrid breedi...
Objective
The present investigation was undertaken for determination of LD50 and studying response exhibited by selected cultivars of pigeon pea for various seedling parameters.Methods
Five promising cultivars of pigeon pea viz., ‘Manak,’ ‘PAU 881,’ ‘Pusa 992,’ ‘PA 291’ and ‘VLA 1’ were induced with different doses of sodium azide (SA). SA was dilu...
For effective trait selection, it is very important to have knowledge of association between traits and heritability. So, a study on phenotypic diversity in pearl millet [Pennisetum glaucum (L.) R. Br.] was intended in a set of 48 maintainer lines using 9 quantitative traits. Significant mean sum of squares indicated presence of sufficient variatio...
An investigation was carried out to study genetic diversity and associations between yield components and agronomical traits in 60 genotypes of fenugreek. Analysis of variance showed significant differences among cultivars for all the growth parameters studied. High genotypic and phenotypic coefficient of variance was recorded for seed yield follow...

Fenugreek [Trigonella foenum-graecum L.] is an annual herb of Leguminaceae family and is largely cultivated in warm temperate and tropical regions. The presence of variability in breeding population is prior need for crop improvement. This calls for an evaluation of genotypes to study the variability. The study was conducted to reveal the genetic d...

Efforts were made to analyze the genetic variability, correlation and path coefficient analysis of yield and its contributing traits in 49 wheat genotypes. The study revealed highly significant differences among the genotypes for yield and its contributing components except grain length and grain breadth. The higher magnitudes of phenotypic coeffic...
Studies on genetic diversity in Pennisetum germplasm are the promising opportunities for the use of un-domesticated materials for improving pearl millet varieties. DNA based markers have now emerged as a potential genomic tool for estimation of genetic diversity among various cultivars and varietal identification. In present study, genetic diversit...
Plant morphological characters are universally undisputed descriptors applied for testing Distinctness, Uniformity and Stability (DUS) of crop varieties. In the present study, 49 inbred lines of pearl millet evaluated for 29 morphological traits using DUS descriptors revealed significant variation among the inbreds for different characters. Most of...
The study was conducted to reveal the presence of genetic diversity among 150 fenugreek genotypes which were collected from different geographical regions of India. The mean of sum of squares due to genotypes were highly significant for all the characters under study indicating sufficient genetic variation among the genotypes assessed. The genetic...
Ayurvedic medicines have been continuously using Ashwagandha as one of the active ingredients for centuries due to its pleotropic effects namely anti‑inflammatory, immuno‑modulatory and antistress properties. The present investigation aims to evaluate the antioxidant and free radical scavenging activity of Ashwagandha leaves. To begin with, the var...
30 popular poplar clones were studied to assess genetic divergence using morphological growth parameters and random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) markers.
