Unlabelled: CO levels are known to have an impact on plant development and physiology. In the current study, we have investigated the effect of elevated CO on flowering and its regulation through miRNA mediated sugar signaling. We also unraveled small RNA transcriptome of pigeonpea under ambient and elevated CO conditions and predicted the targets for crucial miRNAs through computational methods.

In the current study, pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan L.), a promising legume food crop was assessed for its photosynthetic physiology, antioxidative system as well as C and N metabolism under elevated CO and combined drought stress (DS). Pigeonpea was grown in open top chambers under elevated CO (600 µmol mol) and ambient CO (390 ± 20 µmol mol) concentrations, later subjected to DS by complete water withholding.

Hevea brasiliensis Muell. Arg (Para rubber tree) is a tropical tree species of Amazonian origin widely cultivated in several parts of the world for natural rubber, a highly priced commodity inevitable for the world rubber industry. Large, tree to tree variation in growth and latex yield among individual plants of high yielding Hevea clones is a common phenomenon observed in mature rubber plantations.
