Obliging Tactics to Mitigate the Intricate Problem of Aflatoxin Contamination in Peanut: A Review

TL;DR: In this article, the authors focused on knowledge about Aspergillus flavus, its optimal growth conditions, growth promoting factors, factors affecting the level of AFs production, AFs biosynthesis pathway, mechanisms involved in resistance against fungal infection, various techniques and some simple precautionary recommendations to minimize AF production.

Chickpea Breeding

TL;DR: In this article , the status of current research efforts and advancements in Indian and future research priorities to tackle newer challenges is reviewed, and efforts should be made on increasing the number of validated/diagnostic markers, so that genomics-assisted breeding becomes an integrated approach in chickpea breeding programmes.

Combining ability analysis for grain yield and its components in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.)

TL;DR: The parent Phule Vikram, JAKI-9218, Digvijay and GNG-2207 were high yielding with good general combining ability for grain yield per plant and some of its components, which can be used in future hybridization programme.

Genome-wide identification of the fibrillin gene family in chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) and its response to drought stress.

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors identified 12 potential CaFBNs that are ranging from 25 kDa-42.92 kDa and are mostly basic in nature and generally resided in the chloroplast.

Profiling Cultivars Development in Kersting's Groundnut [Macrotyloma geocarpum (Harms) Maréchal and Baudet] for Improved Yield, Higher Nutrient Content, and Adaptation to Current and Future Climates

TL;DR: In this paper , the authors defined and discussed the main steps of breeding for Kersting's groundnut (KG) cultivars development; this included (i) developing an integrated genebank, inclusive germplasm, and seed system management; (ii) assessing end-users preferences and possibility for industrial exploitation of the crop; (iii) identifying biotic and abiotic stressors and the genetic control of responsive traits to those factors; (iv) overcoming the cross-pollination challenges in KG to propel the development of hybrids; (v) developing new approaches to create variability and setting adequate cultivars and breeding approaches; (vi) karyotyping and draft genome analysis to accelerate cultivars developing and increase genetic gains; and (vii) evaluating the adaptability and stability of cultivars across various ecological regions.

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.
