Introgression of blast and bacterial blight disease resistance genes in a rice genotype ADT43 through marker assisted back cross breeding.

Bacterial Leaf Blight ( pv. ) and blast () are the major biotic stresses around the rice-growing zones of the world. The development of resistant varieties through Marker Assisted Backcross Breeding is the utmost economical and eco-friendly method for achieving stable yield.

Development and Genetic Characterization of A Novel Herbicide (Imazethapyr) Tolerant Mutant in Rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Background: Increased water and labour scarcity in major rice growing areas warrants a shift towards direct seeded rice cultivation under which management of weeds is a major issue. Use of broad spectrum non-selective herbicides is an efficient means to manage weeds. Availability of rice genotypes with complete tolerance against broad-spectrum non-selective herbicides is a pre-requisite for advocating use of such herbicides.

Spectroscopic (FT-IR/FT-Raman) and computational (HF/DFT) investigation and HOMO/LUMO/MEP analysis on 1,1-difluoro-2-vinyl-cyclopropane.

All the computational calculations were made in the ground state using the HF and DFT (B3LYP) methods with 6-31++G (d,p) and 6-311++G (d,p) basis sets. Making use of the recorded data, the complete vibrational assignments were made and analysis of the observed fundamental bands of molecule was carried out. The shifting of the frequencies in the vibrational pattern of the title molecule due to the substitutions; CHCH₂ and F were deeply investigated by the vibrational analysis.

Spectroscopic and quantum chemical analysis of Isonicotinic acid methyl ester.

In this present study, an organic compound Isonicotinic acid methyl ester (INAME) was structurally characterized by FTIR, FT-Raman, and NMR and UV spectroscopy. The optimized geometrical parameters and energies of all different and possible conformers of INAME are obtained from Density Functional Theory (DFT) by B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) method. There are three conformers (SI, SII-1, and SII-2) for this molecule (ground state).

FT-IR, FT-Raman, UV, NMR spectra, molecular structure, ESP, NBO and HOMO-LUMO investigation of 2-methylpyridine 1-oxide: a combined experimental and DFT study.

In this paper, the equilibrium geometry, bonding features, vibrational frequencies, (1)H and (13)C chemical shift values, molecular electrostatic potential maps, HOMO-LUMO energies and several thermodynamic parameters of title compound in the ground state have been calculated by using the density functional method with 6-31G(d,p) and 6-311G(d,p) basis sets. A detailed interpretation of the infrared and Raman spectra of 2-methylpyridine 1-oxide was reported. Furthermore, natural bond orbitals were performed in this work.

Vibrational spectroscopy (FT-IR and FT-Raman) investigation, and hybrid computational (HF and DFT) analysis on the structure of 2,3-naphthalenediol.

The FT-IR and FT-Raman vibrational spectra of 2,3-naphthalenediol (C(10)H(8)O(2)) have been recorded using Bruker IFS 66V spectrometer in the range of 4000-100 cm(-1) in solid phase. A detailed vibrational spectral analysis has been carried out and the assignments of the observed fundamental bands have been proposed on the basis of peak positions and relative intensities. The optimized molecular geometry and vibrational frequencies in the ground state are calculated by using the ab initio Hartree-Fock (HF) and DFT (LSDA and B3LYP) methods with 6-31+G(d,p) and 6-311+G(d,p) basis sets.

FT-IR and FT-Raman vibrational analysis, ab initio HF and DFT simulations of isocyanic acid 1-naphthyl ester.

The Fourier transform infrared and Fourier transform Raman spectra of isocyanic acid 1-naphthyl ester (C(11)H(7)NO) [ICANE] are recorded in solid phase, the harmonic vibrational frequencies, infrared intensities, Raman activities, bond length, bond angle and dihedral angle are calculated by HF and DFT methods by using different basis set. A detailed vibrational spectral analysis has been carried out and assignments of observed fundamental bands have been proposed on basis of peak positions and relative intensities. The scaled theoretical frequencies showed very good agreement with experimental values.
