Changing climates threaten crop growth and fodder yields in dryland farming. This study assessed two radish genotypes (LINE 2, ENDURANCE) under three water regimes (W1 = well-watered, W2 = moderate stress, W3 = severe stress) and two leaf harvesting options over two seasons (2021/22 and 2022/23). Key findings revealed that water regime significantly (P < 0.

Beneficial interactions between plant root exudates and the rhizosphere microbial community can alleviate the adverse effects of environmental stress on crop yields, but these interactions remain poorly understood in potato growing in drying soil. We investigated the responses of rhizosphere soil microorganisms and metabolites, and biochemical and physiological responses of two potato genotypes with contrasting drought tolerance (drought tolerant 'C93' and drought sensitive 'Favorita'), to two different irrigation treatments imposing contrasting soil water availability in the field. Deficit irrigation altered rhizosphere soil bacterial communities and metabolites of C93 more than Favorita.

India is a treasure trove of biological diversity with its plant genetic resources playing a crucial role in the crop improvement serving as the foundation for the country's sustainable food and nutritional security. India's in vitro genebank (IVG) is part of the National Genebank at the Indian Council of Agricultural Research-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources (ICAR-NBPGR). The IVG houses distinctive multi-crop repository that utilizes several tissue culture techniques for short- to medium-term storage in in vitro active genebank (IVAG) and cryoconservation approaches for long-term storage in in vitro base genebank (IVBG).

Nine sweet potato varieties with different flesh colors were cultivated under uniform environmental conditions with potassium (K) fertilizer treatments at levels of 0, 22.5, and 45 kg/ha. The structural and functional properties of the starches were subsequently analyzed.
