The present investigation entitled “In Vitro Shoot tip grafting in citrus for quality seedling production” was conducted at Centre of Excellence In Plant Biotechnology, Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Dist.Akola (M.S.) during the academic year 2015-2017 with the objectives to study the effect of different parameters influencing shoot tip grafting ...
Sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.), is a multi-purpose crop employed for diverse uses such as dye production, edible oil extraction and for medicinal applications. Production of microspore-derived embryos from cultured anthers is now well established technique for isolation of homozygous lines in sunflower. The present investigation deals with In vitro haploid plant ...
Crop improvement through transgenic technology is one of the most impeding and viable option for the advance methods of crop improvement programme. Recent developments in plant biotechnology made researchers to produce superior cultivars of crops by transferring key genes into the plant genome by using plant transformation techniques. There are two important pr...
In the present investigation entitled “In-Planta transformation of soybean (Glycine max L.) to enhance salinity and drought tolerance” was under taken with the view to develop In-planta regeneration system for elite soybean genotype. The study was carried out at Biotechnology Centre, Dr. PDKV, Akola during year 2015-16. In vitro culture and genetic transformati...
Wheat is the staple food for the majority of people in the world and thus forms an important component of human nutrition and hence its bio-fortification concerning mineral nutrients is a major concern in the scientific world. In this study, the biofortification of wheat with respect to grain Fe and Zn content has been taken into consideration. Twenty-five wheat ge...
Micronutrient deficiency, especially iron and zinc deficiency in diet is a major reason of malnutrition in developing countries. Most of the population in developing countries is dependent on their staple crops as a source for their nutrition. Hence, developing biofortified crop varieties can be a promising way to overcome malnutrition of these minerals. Lack of ge...
Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a most important staple food crop among cereals for numerous people worldwide. Increasing rice production is the primary challenge overcoming abiotic stresses under current and future climate change scenarios. Abiotic and biotic stresses are significant restricting factors of plant yields and cause billions of dollars of misfortunes yearly...
The genus Piper (piperaceae) is largely distributed in tropical and sub-tropical regions of the world. It is famous as the spices king due to its pungent quality. The genus Piper has more than 1000 species but the most well known species are P. nigrum, P. longum and P. betle. In P. nigrum, about 51 cultivars have been reported from the tropical and sub-tropical reg...
Present investigation was carried out to develop and evaluate induced mutants for superior productivity traits and resistance to foliar diseases in groundnut. M0 seeds of IL 3 and IL 4 were mutagenized with gamma rays (200 Gy and 300 Gy) and sodium azide (2 mM and 3 mM). The M1 seeds were sown during post-rainy season 2015 at IABT garden (E115), MARS, UAS, Dharwad....
The efficacy of transgenic plants capable of PTGS was assessed in available T4 seeds of four transgenic events viz., A, C, D and E carrying ihp-TRP subjected for PCR based screening and gene segregation analysis. The bio-efficacy test of transgenic plants from three events viz., ‘A’,’C’ and ‘E’ in T4 and T5 generation indicated moderate resistance against ToLCV...
