Article Synopsis
  • Resource-poor areas facing moisture deficits suffer from iron deficiency in rice cultivation, leading to a study that evaluated the Bengal and Assam Aus rice varieties for growth traits in an iron-deprived environment.
  • A new scoring scale classified rice tolerance to iron deficiency from 0 (most tolerant) to 9 (most susceptible), revealing four key candidate genes responsible for various growth traits such as shoot length and root characteristics.
  • The study identified BR16 as a superior donor with enhanced growth metrics compared to RA23, while also exploring how genetic variations in the candidate genes contribute to abiotic stress tolerance in rice.

Coriander is a herbaceous spice and condiment crop also known for its medicinal properties. The present study identified two putative novel deltapartitiviruses and an enamovirus tentatively named as Coriandrum sativum deltapartitivirus 1, 2 (CsDPV1, 2) and Coriandrum sativum enamovirus (CsEV) in the publicly available transcriptome-assembled contigs derived from coriander grown in India. CsDPV1 and 2 contained tripartite and bipartite genomes, respectively, with each genome segment encoding a single open reading frame (ORF).

Knowledgebase for rice sheath blight information (KRiShI) is a manually curated user-friendly knowledgebase for rice sheath blight (SB) disease that allows users to efficiently mine, visualize, search, benchmark, download, and update meaningful data and information related to SB using its easy and interactive interface. KRiShI collects and integrates widely scattered and unstructured information from various scientific literatures, stores it under a single window, and makes it available to the community in a user-friendly manner. From basic information, best management practices, host resistance, differentially expressed genes, proteins, metabolites, resistance genes, pathways, and OMICS scale experiments, KRiShI presents these in the form of easy and comprehensive tables, diagrams, and pictures.

Plants are essential facilitators of human life on planet earth. Plants play a critical functional role in mediating the quality of air, availability of food and the sustainability of agricultural resources. However, plants are in constant interaction with its environment and often hampered by various types of stresses like biotic and abiotic ones.

The modern sequencing technologies are generating large volumes of information at the transcriptome and genome level. Translation of this information into a biological meaning is far behind the race due to which a significant portion of proteins discovered remain as proteins of unknown function (PUFs). Attempts to uncover the functional significance of PUFs are limited due to lack of easy and high throughput functional annotation tools.
