Cécile Collonnier,Isabelle Fock,V. Kashyap,Giuseppe Leonardo Rotino,Marie-Christine Daunay,Y. Lian,Ika Mariska,Manchikatla Venkat Rajam,Aline Servaes,G. Ducreux,Darasinh Sihachakr +10 more
TL;DR: Only resistance against insects, and parthenocarpic fruit development have successfully been developed in eggplant using Agrobacterium tumefasciens transformation, however, some work on genetic engineering of eggplant for other biotic and abiotic stresses has recently been initiated.
Journal ArticleDOI
The origin and evolution of sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas Lam.) and its wild relatives through the cytogenetic approaches.
TL;DR: The distribution and organization of 5S and 18S-5.8S-26S rDNA were studied in 10 varieties of hexaploid Ipomoea batatas, five accessions of tetraploids Ipomeoa trifida, and six related species by using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH).

Biotechnology of eggplant
Vikas Kashyap,S. Vinod Kumar,Cécile Collonnier,F Fusari,Robert Haïcour,Giuseppe Leonardo Rotino,Darasinh Sihachakr,Manchikatla Venkat Rajam +7 more
TL;DR: Eggplant genetics is summarized with an emphasis on the use of biotechnology to introgress genes from wild species into cultivated eggplant for improvement of other agronomic traits, including disease and pest resistance, and quality and shelf life of fruits.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solanum torvum, as a useful source of resistance against bacterial and fungal diseases for improvement of eggplant (S. melongena L.)
Christian Gousset,Cécile Collonnier,Karden Mulya,Ika Mariska,Giuseppe Leonardo Rotino,Pascale Besse,Aline Servaes,Darasinh Sihachakr +7 more
TL;DR: Accessions of Solanum torvum SW, a wild relative of eggplant, were collected in Java Island, Indonesia, and assessed for morphology, fertility, levels of resistance against both Ralstonia solanacearum and Fusarium oxysporum f.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thaumatin gene confers resistance to fungal pathogens as well as tolerance to abiotic stresses in transgenic tobacco plants
Manchikatla Venkat Rajam,N. Chandola,P. Saiprasad Goud,Deepali Singh,Vikas Kashyap,M. L. Choudhary,Darasinh Sihachakr +6 more
TL;DR: Transgenic tobacco plants with thaumatin gene of Thaumatococcus daniellii with enhanced resistance with delayed disease symptoms against fungal diseases caused by Pythium aphanidermatum and Rhizoctonia solani are developed.
