Development of a New Molecular Marker for the Resistance to Tomato Yellow Leaf Curl Virus.

(TYLCV) responsible for tomato yellow leaf curl disease (TYLCD) causes a substantial decrease in tomato ( L.) yield worldwide. The use of resistant variety as a sustainable management strategy has been advocated.

Relationship between High Temperature and Formation of Chalkiness and Their Effects on Quality of Rice.

Occurrence of chalkiness in rice is attributed to genetic and environmental factors, especially high temperature (HT). The HT induces heat stress, which in turn compromises many grain qualities, especially transparency. Chalkiness in rice is commonly studied together with other quality traits such as amylose content, gel consistency, and protein storage.
