Drought Stress Impacts on Plants and Different Approaches to Alleviate Its Adverse Effects.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors have discussed the sophisticated adaptation mechanisms and regularity network that improves the water stress tolerance and adaptation in plants, including growth pattern and structural dynamics, reduction in transpiration loss through altering stomatal conductance and distribution, leaf rolling, root-to-shoot ratio dynamics, root length increment, accumulation of compatible solutes, enhancement of transpiration efficiency, osmotic and hormonal regulation, and delayed senescence.

Marker-assisted backcrossing to introgress resistance to fusarium wilt race 1 and ascochyta blight in C 214, an elite cultivar of chickpea

TL;DR: Two parallel marker‐assisted backcrossing programs by targeting foc1 locus and two quantitative trait loci regions, ABQTL‐I and ABQ TL‐II, were undertaken to introgress resistance to FW and AB, respectively, in C 214, an elite cultivar of chickpea.

Genetic structure and diversity analysis of the primary gene pool of chickpea using SSR markers.

TL;DR: Diversity was confined to the wild species, which had higher values of polymorphic information content, gene diversity and heterozygosity than the cultivated species, suggesting a narrow genetic base for cultivated chickpea.

Mechanism and molecular markers associated with rust resistance in a chickpea interspecific cross (Cicer arietinum × Cicer reticulatum)

TL;DR: A gene that controls resistance to chickpea rust (Uromyces ciceris-arietini) has been identified in a recombinant inbred line (RIL) population derived from an interspecific cross between Cicer arietinum × Cicer reticulatum, susceptible and resistant to rust, respectively.

Inheritance of incompatibility in hybrids between Solanum tuberosum haploids and diploid species

TL;DR: The inheritance of self-incompatibility in two South American cultivated diploid species, Solanum phureja and S. stenotomum, conforms with the Nicotiana scheme of oppositional S alleles, and true seed obtained from crosses consists of only the desired S genotype.

Progress in the utilization of Cajanus platycarpus (Benth.) Maesen in pigeonpea improvement

TL;DR: Cajanus platycarpus (Benth.) Maesen, an annual wild relative from the tertiary gene pool, was successfully crossed with the cultigen, utilizing hormone-aided pollinations, embryo rescue and tissue culture techniques, and backcrossed using cultigen as the recurrent parent.
