Marker-assisted plant breeding involves the application of
molecular marker techniques and statistical and bioinformatics
tools to achieve plant breeding objectives in a cost-effective and
time-efficient manner. This book is intended for beginners in the
field who have little or no prior exposure to molecular markers and
their applications, but who do have a basic knowledge of genetics
and plant breeding, and some exposure to molecular biology. An
attempt has been made to provide sufficient basic information in an
easy-to-follow format, and also to discuss current issues and
developments so as to offer comprehensive coverage of the subject
matter. The book will also be useful for breeders and research
workers, as it offers a broad range of up-to-the-year information,
including aspects like the development of different molecular
markers and their various applications. In the first chapter, the
field of marker-assisted plant breeding is introduced and placed in
the proper perspective in relation to plant breeding. The next
three chapters describe the various molecular marker systems, while
mapping populations and mapping procedures including
high-throughput genotyping are discussed in the subsequent five
chapters. Four chapters are devoted to various applications of
markers, e.g. marker-assisted selection, genomic selection,
diversity analysis, finger printing and positional cloning. In
closing, the last two chapters provide information on relevant
bioinformatics tools and the rapidly evolving field of phenomics.
Biofertilizers, Volume One: Advances in Bio-inoculants provides
state-of-the-art descriptions of various approaches, techniques and
basic fundamentals of BI used in crop fertilization practices. The
book presents research within a relevant theoretical framework to
improve our understanding of core issues as applied to natural
resource management. Authored by renowned scientists actively
working on bio-inoculant, biofertilizer and bio-stimulant sciences,
the book addresses the scope of inexpensive and energy neutral
bio-inoculant technologies and the impact regulation has on
biofertilizer utilization. This book is a valuable reference for
agricultural/environmental scientists in academic and corporate
environments, graduate and post-graduate students, regulators and
policymakers.
Plant Breeding and Cultivar Development features an optimal balance
between classical and modern tools and techniques related to plant
breeding. Written for a global audience and based on the extensive
international experience of the authors, the book features
pertinent examples from major and minor world crops. Advanced data
analytics (machine learning), phenomics and artificial intelligence
are explored in the book's 28 chapters that cover classical and
modern plant breeding. By presenting these advancements in specific
detail, private and public sector breeding programs will learn
about new, effective and efficient implementation. The insights are
clear enough that non-plant breeding majoring students will find it
useful to learn about the subject, while advanced level students
and researchers and practitioners will find practical examples that
help them implement their work.
In India, soybean (Glycine max) has established one of the major
oilseed crops besides being pulse crop. In the North East India, it
is grown on slopes, jhum lands, terraces and plains. In spite of
high yield potential, it productivity is much less than the world
average. Cultivation of soybean on marginal land combined with sub
optimal nutrients supply is the major hurdle in realising potential
productivity. Sulphur is required for the synthesis of
sulphur-containing amino-acids cystine, cystein and methionine
which are essential components of protein. Soybean is very
sensitive to boron deficiency as well. It requires an adequate
supply of boron, especially during flowering and seed development.
Its deficiency may cause restriction of water absorption,
carbohydrate metabolism and even sterility. Recently the importance
of boron has also been recognized in the development of embryo and
synthesis of protein. Boron deficiency is known to inhibit economic
yield. Soybean cultivation on acidic soils of northeast India is on
rise but both of these vital nutrients are widely deficient in the
region due to extreme acidity, excessive rainfall and very low use
of mineral fertilizers.
Drought is a normal, recurrent climatic feature that occurs in
virtually every climatic zone around the world, causing billions of
dollars in loss annually for the farming community. Crops are
selected across the country to normal rainfall conditions. If any
deviation in normal rainfall towards deficit, it will adversely
affect the crop growth, development and production under rainfed
conditions. The early break in monsoon, i.e. early season drought
is the one which adversely affect the transplanting area of rice
while the monsoon failure during July and August, i.e. intermittent
drought is highly detrimental in the tropics to a larger extent.
This resulted to a sudden decline in agricultural production
despite the adaptation of improved technologies to mitigate the
effect of drought. This book contains seven chapters. It deals with
various basic and applied aspects of drought and dry spells on rice
crop. It is illustrative with graphs, photographs, pictures and
tables. Information on weather parameters are also incorporated in
the end of chapters through table and graph. In addition,
references alongwith bibliography has also been presented in the
second and last seventh chapter.
The most challenging research areas of 21st century are maintaining
the good environment, providing quality food and getting rescued
from the environmental hazards increasing due to fast establishment
of industries which in turn are also required to meet the demand of
gradually expanding population throughout the world. This volume,
'Plant Disease Management for Food Security' embodies forty two
research papers of scientists contributed throughout the country.
The information on distribution, biology, epidemiology, and control
of each pathogens and disease has been updated. The details of key
potential diseases and their integrated diseases management (IDM)
along with photographs will help the reader to identify diseases,
the damage caused by them, and their natural enemies. IDM is also
environment-friendly and safer for farmers and farm workers. The
book is intended to serve as a text for advanced undergraduate and
post graduate students of plant pathology and related discipline
and as a reference source for teacher, researchers, students,
technologists, extension workers, disease scouts, agribusiness
personnel, and others interested in integrated diseases management.
Differentiation i.e. development of single cell into complex
multicellular organs & tissues, results through selective gene
expression which is specific to cell type, region & organ.
Therefore, identification of biochemical markers during sequential
stages of organogenesis could be used to identify early events of
differentiation, embryogenic potential or serve as an indication of
loss of regeneration capacity with culture age. Keeping in view
these facts, this M. Phil. dissertation on T. indica, an important
medicinal plant comprises of six chapters: Chapter-1 highlights
background for selection of this plant species; Chapter-2 is
compilation of relevant updated literature in the area of tissue
culture, biochemical & SDS-PAGE studies; Chapter-3 deals with
details of materials & techniques used; Chapter-4 presents the
findings of study supported by tables, photographs &
illustrations; Chapter-5 discusses the results in the light of
available literature and Chapter-6 is summary of work followed by
literature cited. This M. Phil. dissertation will be useful for
reseachers working in the area of plant tissue culture & cell
differentiation.
Infertility is known to us since ages. There is an alarming rate of
increase of infertility cases especially in the young urban males
in India. Keeping this in mind we took up this study to evaluate
the role of Mesterolone in oligospermic males . We also compared
the role of Mesterolone and the effects of a combined therapy of
mesterolone and clomiphene citrate on semen parameters, effect on
pituitary axis and liver function.Thirty males with idiopathic
oligospermia were included in this study. Out of the thirty
subjects,10 were given only tab mesterolone 50 mg b.d .Ten were
given 50 mg of tab mesterolone 1 b.d and 25 mg of clomiphene
citrate 1 o.d. The remaining 10 were used as controls and given tab
vitamin C 75 mg b.d for 4 months. A follow- up study was conducted
at the end of 100, 150 and 200 days for group A, B and C
respectively.A complete semen analysis including the differential
count was done. The study showed only mesterolone was not effective
in comparison to the combination of mesterolone and clomiphene
citrate which was much effective and showed 40% increase in sperm
concentration.
