Rhizobial Amelioration of Drought Stress in Legumes

TL;DR: In-depth insights into the impact of drought on rhizobia and legumes grown in drought affected areas are presented.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing castor (Ricinus communis L.) productivity through genetic improvement for Fusarium wilt resistance – a review

TL;DR: The paper reviews the progress made along with future outlook towards fusarium wilt resistance in castor and indicates that marker assisted selection following the development of reliable markers for tagging of wilt resistant genes will hasten the breeding program in evolving wiltresistant cultivars.

Nuclear DNA content of some important plant species

TL;DR: This survey identified several horticultural crops in a variety of families with genomes only two or three times as large asArabidopsis and several fruit trees (a pricot, cherry, mango, orange, papaya, and peach) that should facilitate molecular studies of these crops.

The genome of the cucumber, Cucumis sativus L.

Sanwen Huang, +95 more
- 01 Dec 2009 - 
TL;DR: This study establishes that five of the cucumber's seven chromosomes arose from fusions of ten ancestral chromosomes after divergence from Cucumis melo, and identifies 686 gene clusters related to phloem function.
