Here, we report the karyotypes and mean haploid idiograms of the ten Asian Corchorus species (2n = 2x = 14). Chromosomes were small, with a mean chromosome length of 2.30 μm. The largest chromosome was recorded in C. pseudo-olitorius (3.50 μm) and the shortest in C. ...

A secondary phloic (bast) fibre-shy (bfs) mutant of dark jute (Corchorus olitorius L.) develops lignified fibre cells but is defective in cambial activity See

Bast fibre development in jute (Corchorus spp.) is a complex process that involves the differentiation of secondary phloic fibres (SPF) from the cambium followed by lignification of the fibre wall. We have identified a unique radiation-induced bast fibre-shy mutant of dark jute (C. ...

QTL identification for molecular breeding of fibre yield and fibre quality traits in jute See

In jute (Corchorus olitorius), quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis was conducted to study the genetics of eight fibre yield traits and two fibre quality traits. For this purpose, we used a mapping population consisting of 120 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) and also used a ...

Development of SSR markers and construction of a linkage map in jute See

Jute is an important natural fibre crop, which is only second to cotton in its importance at the global level. It is mostly grown in Indian subcontinent and has been recently used for the development of genomics resources. We recently initiated a programme to develop simp...

Assessment of genetic diversity and population structure in a selected germplasm collection of 292 jute genotypes by microsatellite (SSR) markers See

Genetic diversity within the available jute germplasm has not been characterised in detail. Therefore, using 172 SSRs developed in our laboratory, we assessed genetic diversity and population structure in 292 genotypes (including both indigenous and exotic accessions) of two cultivated species&#x...

Insight into genetic relation and diversity of cultivated and semi-domesticated under-utilized Crotalaria species gained using start codon targeted (SCoT) markers See

To augment conventional crop improvement approaches in cultivated sunnhemp (Crotalaria juncea L.) and other under-utilized Crotalaria species, genetic diversity of 94 genotypes from seven Crotalaria species was studied using 20 Start Codon Targeted (SCoT) markers. High allele number (1.32), polymorphi...

Diversity analysis based on agro-morphological traits and microsatellite based markers in global germplasm collections of roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) See

Hibiscus sabdariffa L. is a bast fibre crop bearing edible calyx. In the present study we characterized geographically diverse accessions (124) of H. sabdariffa var. altissima (HSA) and H. sabdariffa var. sabdariffa (HSS) using 23 morpho-metric (10 qualitative, 13 quantitative) traits ...

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance estimates in maize (Zea mays L.) inbred lines See

Forty three genotypes of maize were evaluated for eleven traits at the College Farm, College of Agriculture, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad to study the genetic divergence and various genetic parameters. There was a significant (P<0.01) difference between genotypes for all the characters, whic...

SSR and morphological trait based population structure analysis of 130 diverse flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) accessions See

A total of 130 flax accessions of diverse morphotypes and worldwide origin were assessed for genetic diversity and population structure using 11 morphological traits and microsatellite markers (15 gSSRs and 7 EST–SSRs). Analysis performed after classifying these accessions on the...

Cocoa economy: An international perspective with special reference to Indian scenario See

Global cocoa production is concentrated in few countries, where four West African countries contribute 70% of global production.From Asian region, Indonesia has competitive advantage of low cost of production and high yields (1000kg/ha). Over the last 26 years world cocoa production&#x...

Mobile based initiatives for e-Extension Services for Fisheries and Aquaculture See

A study on impact evaluation of three innovative initiatives for mobile based e-Extension services was undertaken in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh using a structured and field- tested questionnaire. A snap shot of all the three e- Extension initiatives is given, and&#...

Risk factor analysis associated with Theileria equi infected equines in semiarid and sub-humid ecological enzootic zones of India See

Equine piroplasmosis is a haemoprtozoan disease of equines and enzootic in tropical and subtropical countries. A cross-sectional study on sero-prevalence of Theileria equi, the causative agent of EP, was performed in semi-arid and sub-humid ecological endemic zones of India including ...

Diagnostic application of recombinant equine merozoite surface antigen-1 in elisa for detection of Theileria equi specific antibodies See

Theileria equi merozoite surface antigens have been an important candidate for development of diagnostics. We developed ELISA based on EMA-1 recombinant antigen, so as to widen our diagnostic confidence in detection of antibodies against T. equi in serosurveillance studies. The ...

Oxidative Damage Inflicted by Theileria equi on Horse Erythrocytes When Cultured In Vitro by Microaerophilous Stationary Phase Technique See
