Multi-GWAS reveals significant genomic regions for Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus resistance in urdbean (Vigna mungo (L.) across multiple environments.

Unraveling genetic markers for MYMIV resistance in urdbean, with 8 high-confidence marker-trait associations identified across diverse environments, provides crucial insights for combating MYMIV disease, informing future breeding strategies. Globally, yellow mosaic disease (YMD) causes significant yield losses, reaching up to 100% in favorable environments within major urdbean cultivating regions. The introgression of genomic regions conferring resistance into urdbean cultivars is crucial for combating YMD, including resistance against mungbean yellow mosaic India virus (MYMIV).

Effect of herbicide stress on synchronization of carbon and nitrogen metabolism in lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.).

Weed invasion causes significant yield losses in lentil. Imazethapyr (IM), a broad-spectrum herbicide inhibits the biosynthesis of branched chain amino acids necessary for plant growth. Plant growth depends upon translocation of photo-assimilates and their partitioning regulated by carbon and nitrogen metabolism.

Impact of post-emergent imazethapyr on morpho-physiological and biochemical responses in lentil ( Medik.).

Unlabelled: Yield reduction in lentil crop due to weed infestation is a key hindrance to its growth due to poor weed-crop competition. Imazethapyr (IM), a selective herbicide, target acetolactate synthase (ALS) which catalyzes the first reaction in biosynthesis of branched chain amino acids, required for plant growth and development. The objective of the present study was to investigate the impact of IM treatment on weeds, ALS enzyme activity, antioxidant capacity, osmolyte accumulation, growth and yield related parameters in lentil genotypes.

A large-effect QTL introgressed from ricebean imparts resistance to Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus in blackgram (Vigna mungo (L.) Hepper).

Here, we report identification of a large effect QTL conferring Mungbean yellow mosaic India virus resistance introgressed from ricebean in blackgram variety Mash114. The tightly linked KASP markers would assist in marker-assisted-transfer of this region into Vigna species infected by MYMIV. Until recently, precise location of genes and marker-assisted selection was long thought in legumes such as blackgram due to lack of dense molecular maps.

Genome-wide Association Study for Yield and Yield-Related Traits in Diverse Blackgram Panel ( L. Hepper) Reveals Novel Putative Alleles for Future Breeding Programs.

Blackgram ( L. Hepper) is an important tropical and sub-tropical short-duration legume that is rich in dietary protein and micronutrients. Producing high-yielding blackgram varieties is hampered by insufficient genetic variability, absence of suitable ideotypes, low harvest index and susceptibility to biotic-abiotic stresses.

Methylglyoxal detoxification pathway - Explored first time for imazethapyr tolerance in lentil (Lens culinaris L.).

Lentil is an important pulses crop but it's short stature and slow growth rate make it vulnerable to weed competition, limiting crop productivity. There is need to identify herbicide tolerant genotypes and their tolerance mechanism. The present investigation was conducted to understand the effect of imazethapyr (IM) treatment on accumulation of methylglyoxal (MG) and its detoxification mechanism in IM-tolerant (LL1397 and LL1612) susceptible (FLIP2004-7L and PL07) genotypes sown under control (weed free), weedy check (weeds were growing with crop) and sprayed with imazethapyr.

Insights into carbon and nitrogen metabolism and antioxidant potential during vegetative phase in quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.).

The present investigation was carried out to understand the impact of carbon and nitrogen metabolism in quinoa genotypes IC411824, IC411825, EC507747 and EC507742 during pre-anthesis stage. It was observed that activities of acid invertase, sucrose synthase (cleavage) and sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) increased up to 75 days after sowing (DAS) and this might be responsible for providing reducing sugars for the development of vegetative parts. Enhanced activities of nitrate reductase, glutamate synthase, glutamine synthetase during vegetative growth of leaves and stem at 90 DAS assist the fixation of ammonia on glutamate molecule to synthesize amino acids at early stages.
