Advances in genomics for diversity studies and trait improvement in temperate fruit and nut crops under changing climatic scenarios.

Genetic improvement of temperate fruit and nut crops through conventional breeding methods is not sufficient alone due to its extreme time-consuming, cost-intensive, and hard-to-handle approach. Again, few other constraints that are associated with these species, ., their long juvenile period, high heterozygosity, sterility, presence of sexual incompatibility, polyploidy, etc.

Standardization of micropropagation of Winter Jasmine ( using nodal explants.

Present investigation was carried out to arrive at an effective micropropagation protocol for Winter Jasmine ( using nodal segments from actively growing plants as explants. Explants were collected from current season shoots during April-May just after the initiation of new flush. Combined sterilization treatment of explants with 1.
