Germplasm for growth

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica) has been developed into a model genetical system for deciphering architectural evolution, C4 photosynthesis, nutritional properties, abiotic tolerance and bioenergy in cereal grasses because of its advantageous characters with the small genome size, self-fertilization, short growing cycle, small growth stature, efficient genetic transformation and abundant diverse germplasm resources.

In this series observation were also made on impact of disease on growth and development of a plant internally and externally. Small creamy white spot on cotyledons can be seen. Downy growth of fungus appears on leaves, stem and on stage heads formed by white rust pathogen, Albugo candida. Mixed infection of white rust and downy mildew is common on stage heads.

The present study was carried out at AB District Seed Farm, BCKV, Kalyani Simanta, West Bengal, India during spring-summer 2012-13 and 2013-14, autumn-winter 2013-14 and 2014-15 with 40 brinjal genotypes in Randomized Block Design with two replications. Highly significant differences were observed for majority of the characters for the two factors viz., genotypes (G) and season (S) and their interaction (G X S). Paired t-test also clearly demonstrated the influence of season on the performance of eggplant germplasm.

Club root of crucifers, a devastating disease of oilseed Brassicas and Cole vegetables is very difficult to control through conventional methods in different areas due to ineffective. Cultivation of resistant Brassica germplasms against this disease is very cheapest method to manage this disease. Therefore this screening trial was conducted with different Brassica germplasms under growth chamber to identify the source of resistance against this disease. Generally root hair infection test and pathogenicity test (club formation) were done for this purpose.

In the present study, morphological traits of growth, fruits and quality were observed in different genotypes of Sea buckthorn growing naturally in Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India. The mean performance of plant resources was studied and phenotypic characters were evaluated. Mean values for almost all the characters were found higher in genotype CH-41. Different genotypes showed varied morphology from shrub to tree with plant height ranging from 3m to 6m.

Field surveys were conducted for collection of CMV virus isolates in bell pepper depicting a wide range of symptoms ranging from mosaic, mottling, yellow discoloration, vein clearing, leaf deformation, shoe stringing or leaf narrowing, stunted growth to reduced fruit size. In an attempt to correlate the symptoms with virus concentration in different isolates, DAS-ELISA was performed on symptomatic plants and CMV was detected in majority of the isolates. It was observed that the plants with shoe stringing (typical symptom of CMV in bell pepper) had the highest O.D.

The present investigation was conducted with 87 germplasm accessions of barnyard millet along with two checks (VL181 and PRJ-1). The data was recorded for 13 morphological and 10 yield attributing traits. All accessions were observed to have erect growth habit and one-sided spikelet arrangement with complete absence of lower raceme branching. Majority of germplasm entries exhibit presence of culm branching and concave grain shape.

Garden pea is a cool season leguminous vegetable crop with a temperature requirement of 15-23°C, for its optimum growth. Thus, it is mainly grown as a rabi season crop in India. Increased CO2 concentration in the environment has led to global warming. All the seedlings of pea lines were taken in uniformly after 48h and grown in completely randomized design (CRD) block with three replications having twenty seedlings per replication. The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Division of Plant Physiology and Biochemistry, ICAR- Indian Institute of Horticultural Research, Bengaluru.

Heat stress due to prolonged high ambient temperature during critical growth stages is a serious threat to crop production worldwide. Though being a C4 crop, maize has relatively wider adaptation, however, weather extremes such as heat stress is challenging its threshold limits. There is an absolute requirement of heat tolerant cultivars in the present condition as climate change has a become reality.
