Bacterial blight disease of rice caused by pv. () is one of the most serious constraints in rice production. The most sustainable strategy to combat the disease is the deployment of host plant resistance.

- Researchers analyzed a panel of 384 maize inbred lines from India and CIMMYT, using 60,227 SNP markers to assess genetic diversity, population structure, and linkage disequilibrium.
- The study found that most inbred lines had minimal kinship (58.5% close to 0), indicating diverse genomic compositions, with 98.3% of genetic distances showing significant variation, suggesting ongoing genetic distinctiveness.
- Despite a 17% heterogeneity observed in the lines, the clustering analyses did not reveal distinct patterns by breeding centers or corn types, although some grouping was related to the source of germplasm.
Globally, soil salinity has been on the rise owing to various factors that are both human and environmental. The abiotic stress caused by soil salinity has become one of the most damaging abiotic stresses faced by crop plants, resulting in significant yield losses. Salt stress induces physiological and morphological modifications in plants as a result of significant changes in gene expression patterns and signal transduction cascades.
