A review on strategies for crop improvement against drought stress through molecular insights.

The demand for food goods is rising along with the world population growth, which is directly related to the yield of agricultural crops around the world. However, a number of environmental factors, including floods, salinity, moisture, and drought, have a detrimental effect on agricultural production around the world. Among all of these stresses, drought stress (DS) poses a constant threat to agricultural crops and is a significant impediment to global agricultural productivity.

Extension in the approaches to treat cancer through siRNA system: a beacon of hope in cancer therapy.

Along with the evolutionary breakthrough of RNA interference and the applicability for gene knockdown, a subsequent development in siRNA-based therapeutics has been attained. The gene therapy based on RNAi is in transition progress from the research aspects to clinical base. Being a potent tool, siRNA is used as therapeutic against several disorders.

Evolution in crop improvement approaches and future prospects of molecular markers to CRISPR/Cas9 system.

The advent of genetic selection and genome modification method assure about a real novel reformation in biotechnology and genetic engineering. With the extensive capabilities of molecular markers of them being stable, cost-effective and easy to use, they ultimately become a potent tool for variety of applications such a gene targeting, selection, editing, functional genomics; mainly for the improvisation of commercially important crops. Three main benefits of molecular marker in the field of agriculture and crop improvement programmes first, reduction of the duration of breeding programmes, second, they allow creation of new genetic variation and genetic diversity of plants and third most promising benefit is help in production of engineered plant for disease resistance, or resistance from pathogen and herbicides.
