Morpho-biochemical responses of Brassica Coenospecies to glyphosate exposure at pre- and post-emergence stages
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138448
Abstract
Crop wild relatives (CWRs) belonging to the Brassicaceae family possess extensive genetic diversity and have frequently been utilized in the enhancement of cultivated Brassica species. However, their tolerance to glyphosate, a widely used herbicide, has remained unknown. Our study examined the glyphosate response of 20 genotypes from the Brassicaceae family, which included…

Indexing resilience to heat and drought stress in the wild relatives of rapeseed-mustard
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138400
Abstract
Wild species are weedy relatives and progenitors of cultivated crops, usually maintained in their centres of origin. They are rich sources of diversity as they possess many agriculturally important traits. In this study, we analysed 25 wild species and 5 U triangle species of Brassica for their potential tolerance against heat and drought stress during germination and in order to examine the early…

Agro‐morphological and nutritional assessment of chenopod and quinoa germplasm—Highly adaptable potential crops
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138451
Abstract
Quinoa belongs to the family Chenopodiaceae , a pseudo‐grain having high nutritional value and is considered an underexploited vegetable crop with the potential to improve the nutritional security of millions. Therefore, assessing genetic diversity in Chenopodium germplasm to untap nutritional and site‐specific adaptation potential would be of prime importance for breeders/…

Mining nutri-dense accessions from rice landraces of Assam, India
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138403
Abstract
The Indian subcontinent is the primary center of origin of rice where huge diversity is found in the Indian rice gene pool, including landraces. North Eastern States of India are home to thousands of rice landraces which are highly diverse and good sources of nutritional traits, but most of them remain nutritionally uncharacterized. Hence, nutritional profiling of 395 Assam landraces was done for total starch, amylose…

Evaluation of phenological development and agronomic traits in exotic common bean germplasm across multiple environments
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138395
Abstract
Twenty-nine exotic common bean germplasms and three elite cultivars were examined for phenotypic diversity in two bean-producing environments (Kanpur and Shimla) across three winter seasons and one rainy season. The estimate of genetic variability parameters revealed that the exotic bean germplasm has enough diversity for all the evaluated features. The highest genotypic…

Developing an NIRS prediction model for oil, protein, amino acids and fatty acids in amaranth and buckwheat
https://hdl.handle.net/10568/138385
Abstract
Amaranth and buckwheat are two pseudo-cereals preferred for their high nutritional value, are gluten free and carry religious importance as fasting food. Germplasm resources are the reservoir of diversity for different traits, including nutritional characteristics. These resources must be evaluated to utilize their potential in crop improvement programs. However, conventional methods…
