Gramineae crops

Downy mildew, caused by the oomycete pathogen Sclerospora graminicola, is an economically important disease of Gramineae crops including foxtail millet (Setaria italica). Plants infected with S. graminicola are generally stunted and often undergo a transformation of flower organs into leaves (phyllody or witches’ broom), resulting in serious yield loss. To establish the molecular basis of downy mildew disease in foxtail millet, we carried out whole-genome sequencing and an RNA-seq analysis of S. graminicola.

Maize (Zea mays L.) a member of grass family, poaceae (gramineae) having 2n = 2x = 20 chromosomes is one of the most important cereal crops of India. Mexico and Central America are the origin place of this crop. It has more than thirty-two thousand genes in its genome and the size of genome is about 2.3 gigabase. The objective of this study was to evaluate seventy-seven maize genotypes in relation to heritability and genetic advance for fourteen quantitative traits.

A field experiment was conducted at Instructional Farm, Rajasthan College of Agriculture, MPUAT, Udaipur, Rajasthan during 2018 to Effect of vermicompost and zinc application on growth and yield attribute of maize crop. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design, comprising vermicompost and zinc and their combination, viz., T1 control, T2 vermicompost (1.5 t ha-1 ) + zinc (0 kg ha-1 ), T3 vermicompost (1.5 t ha-1 ) + zinc (2.5 kg ha-1 ), T4 vermicompost (1.5 t ha-1 ) + zinc (5.0 kg ha-1 ), T5 vermicompost (3.0 t ha-1 ) + zinc ( 0 kg ha-1 ), T6 vermicompost (3.

Maize (Zea maize) belongs to family (Gramineae). It is the third most important cereal food grain crop in the world followed by rice and wheat. The origin of maize is Mexico in Central America. It contributes about 20 per cent world’s total cereal production. For present study multistage sampling design was used in selection of district, tehsils, and village and maize growers. On the basis of high area under maize crop Malshiras, Pandharpur and Sangola tehsils were selected. From selected three tehsils 6 villages were selected purposely on the basis of highest area under maize crop.

Stripe disease of barley caused by Drechslera graminea (Rabenh.) Shoemaker is a widely distributed disease in many barley grown parts of the world, but it has assumed more importance with the introduction of some new high yielding varieties. The present investigations were undertaken during 2007-08 and 2008-09 crop seasons with a view of elicit information on Soil moisture had the positive correlation with disease incidence with values 0.83 and 0.84 on in controlling the disease.

Cereals are the member of grasses, which belong to family Gramineae (Poaceae) and cultivated for edible components of their grain which is composed of the endosperm, germ and bran. Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop. In their natural form, they are a rich source of carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals and fats. The green revolution of the 1970s resulted in remarkable increases in rice production. Since then the rate of production in most rice growing countries has slowed and has now reached a plateau.

The number of spores of vesicular-arbuscular mycorrhizal (VAM) fungi occurring in the rhizospheric soil of 14 crops was investigated using traditional wet-sieving/decanting methods. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of some agronomy species (Gramineae, Leguminosae, Solanaceae, Labiatae, Cruciferae, Umbellifera, and Alliaceae) on VAM spores numbers in the rhizosphere.
