Abstract The Green Revolution in India was initiated in the 1960s by introducing high-
yielding varieties of rice and wheat to increase food production in order to alleviate hunger …

Drought stress is a major constraint to the production and yield stability of crops. Rice (Oryza
sativa L.) is considered as a drought-sensitive crop species. Within this species, there are …

Three popular traditional rice landraces, namely Kalajeera, Machakanta and Haladichudi,
from Koraput, India were used to analyse the leaf traits and antioxidant defence for drought …

Background and objectives Assessment of genetic diversity is a prerequisite for any crop
improvement program. It helps plant breeders in identifying promising lines for possible …

Rice Oryza sativa L is a staple food crop, and its seeds are the most important component
part of the agronomic trait of the cereal crop, rich in nutrient and of economic value to human …

The introgression of wild chromosomal segments into popular rice varieties is one of the
potential approaches for develo** varieties for drought stress condition. Sixteen …

Exploiting new genetic resources is an effective way to achieve sustainable wheat
production. To this end, we exposed wheat seeds of the “Punjab-11” cultivar to gamma rays …

India is blessed with an abundance of diverse rice landraces in its traditional cultivated
areas. Two marker systems (simple sequence repeats (SSR) and single nucleotide …

Selecting genetically diverse and complementary parental lines and superior crosses are
pre-requisites in develo** improved cultivars. The objectives of this study were to …

We established a collection of 142 Capsicum genotypes from different geographical areas of
Ethiopia with the aim of capturing genetic diversity. Morphological traits and high-resolution …
