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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of genomics-assisted breeding for generation of climate resilient crops: Progress and prospects

TL;DR: The present review elaborates the progress and prospects of GAB for improving climate change resilience in crops, which is likely to play an ever increasing role in the effort to ensure global food security.

Identification of RAPD markers linked to plant type gene in pigeonpea

TL;DR: Two markers (OPF04 700 and OPA09 1375 ) were identified that were present in the open-tall plants, while absent in compactdwarf plants, and the utilization of the marker and the dwarfing gene is discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effect of root-knot nematodes (Meloidogyne spp.) on fusarium wilt in pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan)

TL;DR: It appears that either the physiology of the response to the nematodes is different, or, that the mechanism of resistance to fusarium wilt is different in the two cultivars.

Identification of AFLP markers linked to sterility mosaic disease in pigeonpea Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.

TL;DR: BSA was employed to identify simple sequence repeats (SSR) and amplified fragment length polymorphism (AFLP) markers associated with sterility mosaic disease (SMD) resistance in the F2 population of the cross involving TTB 7 (susceptible) and BRG 3 (resistant) parents.

Marker assisted recurrent selection for cumulating QTLs for bread-making related traits

TL;DR: It is shown that the accuracy of QTL location greatly affects selection efficiency and that a recurrent selection scheme is highly preferable for pyramiding manyQTLs.
