Six cultivars of rabi sorghum (Sorghum bicolor (L) Moench) were exposed to osmotic stress induced by polyethyleneglycol (PEG-6000) and their proline accumulation potential was ascertained. Based on the differential proline accumulation potential and growth response on light soil, three cultivars were exposed to water stress by withholding irrigation in a pot cultur...

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is an important crop of India. With the climate change and increasing population pressure there is continuously scarcity of water day by day. Therefore, it is time to think seriously to develop new genotypes which may give better yield with less water. Present investigation is an effort to screen wheat genotypes for drought using morpho...

Pulses are considered as important source of minerals, micro & macro nutrients as well as health promoting secondary metabolites and considered poor man's source of protein. Black gram [Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper is an important legume crop in India. India is the primary black gram producer and contributes to about 70 per cent of the world pulses production. This crop...

The present study entitled “ Morpho- molecular characterization of cluster bean [Cyamopsis tetragonoloba (L.) Taub.] was conducted at the Departments of Olericulture and Plant Biotechnology, College of Agriculture, Vellayani during 2010-2011. The objectives were to assess the genetic diversity of the cluster bean germplasm both at morphological and molecular level....
