An alternate hybrid PWM for uniform thermal sharing in single phase voltage-source inverter.

The most prevalent reason for IGBT failure in voltage-source inverter (VSI) is thermal stress, which is influenced by the topology and modulation technique adopted. Hence, it is crucial to understand the impact of common sinusoidal pulse width modulation (PWM) strategies on the thermal behavior of VSI and develop improved PWM techniques. This paper presents an alternate hybrid PWM (AHPWM) switching sequence for a single-phase VSI to decrease its thermal stress and prolong its lifetime.

Co-expression of stress-responsive regulatory genes, and associated with resistant-traits improves drought adaptation in transgenic groundnut ( l.) plants.

Groundnut, cultivated under rain-fed conditions is prone to yield losses due to intermittent drought stress. Drought tolerance is a complex phenomenon and multiple gene expression required to maintain the cellular tolerance. Transcription factors (TFs) regulate many functional genes involved in tolerance mechanisms.

Disruption in the DNA Mismatch Repair Gene by CRISPR- in Indica Rice Can Create Genetic Variability.

Genetic variation is crucial for crop improvement. We adopted a gene editing approach to create variations in the rice genome by targeting the mutator locus homolog 2 (), a DNA mismatch repair gene. The hypothesis is that disruption of the gene leads to a reduced DNA mismatch repair that creates INDELs, resulting in altered phenotypes.

Overexpression of Gene Improves Tolerance of Drought Susceptible Groundnut ( L.) Cultivar K-6 by Increased Leaf Epicuticular Wax Accumulation.

Drought is one of the major environmental constraints affecting the crop productivity worldwide. One of the agricultural challenges today is to develop plants with minimized water utilization and reduced water loss in adverse environmental conditions. Epicuticular waxes play a major role in minimizing water loss.
