Systemic acquired resistance inducing chemicals mitigate black scurf disease in potato by activating defense-related enzymes.

The potato, being an underground vegetable crop, faces consistent threats from soil- and tuber-borne fungal and bacterial pathogens. Black scurf and stem canker disease caused by the fungal pathogen Kuhn is a critical global concern in the potato cultivation system. In this study, we evaluated the disease mitigation potential of five systemic acquired resistance-inducing chemicals , salicylic acid, jasmonic acid, -aminobutyric acid, -aminobutyric acid and hydrogen peroxide (HO).

Genetic Analysis for Resistance to Sclerotinia Stem Rot, Yield and Its Component Traits in Indian Mustard [ (L.) Czern & Coss.].

Understanding the mode of gene action that controls seed yield and Sclerotinia stem rot resistance in Indian mustard is critical for boosting yield potential. In a line × tester mating design, ten susceptible lines and four resistant testers were used to conduct genetic analysis. The significance of general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SCA) variances revealed that both additive and non-additive gene actions were involved in the inheritance of Sclerotinia stem rot resistance and yield attributing traits.

Genetic and Proteomic Basis of Sclerotinia Stem Rot Resistance in Indian Mustard [ (L.) Czern & Coss.].

Sclerotinia stem rot is one of the utmost important disease of mustard, causing considerable losses in seed yield and oil quality. The study of the genetic and proteomic basis of resistance to this disease is imperative for its effective utilization in developing resistant cultivars. Therefore, the genetic pattern of Sclerotinia stem rot resistance in Indian mustard was studied using six generations (P, P, F, F, BCP, and BCP) developed from the crossing of one resistant (RH 1222-28) and two susceptible (EC 766300 and EC 766123) genotypes.

Genotype-Specific Antioxidant Responses and Assessment of Resistance Against Causing Sclerotinia Rot in Indian Mustard.

Productivity of Indian mustard, an important oilseed crop of India, is affected by several pathogens. Among them, the hemibiotroph , which causes sclerotinia rot disease, is the most devastating fungal pathogen causing up to 90% yield losses. The availability of host resistance is the only efficient approach to control and understand the host-pathogen interaction.

Morphological and molecular diversity of infecting Indian mustard.

Fourteen isolates of were collected from different locations of mustard growing regions of India and were studied for cultural, morphological and molecular variability at CCS HAU, Hisar. Variability was observed for colony colour, type of growth, diameter of mycelial growth, sclerotia initiation, number and pattern of sclerotia formation among the isolates. Mycelial growth and sclerotia initiation were faster in Bhiwani isolate as compared to others.

Physicochemical, morphological, thermal and pasting characteristics of starches from moth bean () cultivars grown in India: an underutilized crop.

This is a first kind of study on genotype diversity of starches of Moth Bean an underutilized pulse of India. Physicochemical properties like amylose content (7.8-21.
