Important oil seed crops

The cultivated peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important oil and food crop in the world. Pod- and kernel-related traits are direct factors involved in determining the yield of the peanut. However, the genetic basis underlying pod- and kernel-related traits in the peanut remained largely unknown, which hampered the improvement of peanut through marker-assisted selection.

Soybean is not only an important oil crop, but also an important source of edible protein and industrial raw material. Yield-traits and quality-traits are increasingly attracting the attention of breeders. Therefore, fine mapping the QTLs associated with yield-traits and quality-traits of soybean would be helpful for soybean breeders. In the present study, a high-density linkage map was constructed to identify the QTLs for the yield-traits and quality-traits, using specific length amplified fragment sequencing (SLAF-seq).

Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a class of widely expressed endogenous regulatory RNAs, are involved in diverse physiological and developmental processes in eukaryotic cells. However, there have been no related studies on the number of circRNAs and their overall characteristics including circRNA abundance and expression profiles in peanut, which is one of the most important edible oil seed crops in the world.

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the third most important pulse crop of the world grown in semi- arid and tropical climate. It belongs to family Fabaceae. The major losses in chickpea yield are attributed mainly due to soil borne pathogens. Among them the dry root rot (DRR) caused by Rhizoctonia bataticola has become a major threat to chickpea production in recent years.

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is an important leguminous oil seed crop among all the seed crops of country grown during rainy season. The higher incidence of weed and pests during growth period are one of the important menaces in getting higher yield of crop.A field experiment was conducted during rainy season 2019 at Agricultural Research Station, Banswara (Raj.), India to evaluate bio-efficacy of compatible tank-mix combinations of herbicide and insecticides to manage the weed and insect-pests in crop.

In India, oilseed Brassica are grown over an area of about 6.3 million hectares with an annual production of 7.92 million tones with an average yield of 1304 kg/ha whereas in Rajasthan it was still 1422kg/ha. The severe attack of many diseases not only deteriorates the quality of the seed, but also reduces the oil content considerably. Among the diseases, white rust caused by Albugo candida (Pers. Ex Hook) O. Kuntze, is an important disease of a wide variety of Brassica crops. Its infection causes disfiguring white pustules on leaves, flowers stems and pod leading to yield losses.

Sunflower is one of the four most important oilseed crops grown worldwide and the nutritional quality of its edible oil ranks among the best vegetable oils in cultivation. Sunflower oil has been traditionally appreciated in the world oil market. However, new emerging markets are demanding changes in oil quality for both food and non-food applications. Nutritional and functional properties determining oil quality are primarily determined by the fatty acid composition of oil. Seed oil content and composition are determined by genotypic factors and environmental conditions.

Soybean (Glysin max L.) is one of the most important oil seed cum pulse crop cultivated in Tirap district of Arunachal Pradesh. The production and productivity of soybean in the district is found to be low, therefore constant attempts are being made to improve the productivity and to increase the area under soybean by adopting high yielding variety along with improved cultivation practices.

Soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merrill] is ranked number one among major oil crops and is the second most important oil seed crop of India. There has been significant growth in both area under cultivation and production, however, it still has lower productivity. In the present study, use of SSR markers has been made to study genetic diversity in the Indian soybean cultivars and for their identification. Ninety-six soybean cultivars were used and genetic diversity was assessed using 49 microsatellite markers distributed across the soybean genome.

Groundnut is an important oil seed crop largely grown under rainfed conditions in India. Uneven distribution and or failure of monsoon rain affects the plant growth and reduces the productivity When crop is subjected to water stress it closes the stomata leading to reduced photosynthesis. Detection of plant water stress and assessing the possible effect on the growth and yield of crop is often difficult and challenging.

Agriculture is going through a profound revolution worldwide due to increasing world demand for food, higher costs of energy and other inputs, environmental pollution problems, and instability of cropping systems. The importance of plant functioning can be realized from the facts that knowledge of mineral nutrition of plants has opened new vistas for fertilizer practices. The detection of deficiencies and toxicity of particular mineral nutrient element has enabled us to make adequate soil amendments and root nutrient absorption for better plant growth.

Finger millet is an important nutritive crop of the semi-arid zones of the world and it is the staple food crops for millions of people in Africa and Asia. To achieve more sustainable production from finger millet based cropping systems intercropping and sequential cropping of finger millet with pulse and oil seeds proved better and recorded more system yield per unit area than sole cropping of finger millet. Among the different finger mill based cropping systems finger millet + legumes recorded more sustainable yield and less weeds, insects and diseases infestation in the crop.

Khurasani (Guizotia abyssinica spp.) is considered as an important traditional minor oil seed crop in India, which is mainly cultivated in hilly and tribal areas. Though the crop has high oil content and wide range of utility, very less attention is being paid towards the judicial utilization of the crop by the growers. So, considering this fact the present research work was carried out in Jawhar and Mokhada tahsils of Palghar district of Konkan region of Maharashtra state to know the utilization pattern of Khurasani crop by the growers.
