Polymorphism Modulates Flowering Time and Maturity in Soybean.

() plays a critical role in the photoperiodic flowering pathway. However, the function of soybean orthologs and the molecular mechanisms in regulating flowering remain largely unknown. This study characterized the natural variations in family genes and their association with flowering time and maturity in soybeans.

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.

Identification of salt tolerant rice cultivars via phenotypic and marker-assisted procedures.

Eleven genotypes, including the salt tolerant cultivar Pokkali as check, were used to evaluate salinity tolerance phenotypically and genotypically. Three selected SSR primers viz., RM7075, RM336 and RM253 were used to evaluate rice genotypes for salt tolerance.
