Centre for Advanced Studies on Climate Change, RPCAU, Samastipur, Bihar, India.
Article Synopsis
- - C4 crops like maize and sorghum are more efficient at photosynthesis, water, and nitrogen use compared to C3 crops like rice, with both C3 and C4 crops containing the genes for C4 photosynthesis.
- - A study compared the photosynthetic genes of C3 (rice), C4 (sorghum, maize, and foxtail millet), and CAM (pineapple) plants, revealing that C4 plants have the most genes for key enzymes while CAM had the fewest.
- - The research showed that C4 gene expressions evolved with new tissue patterns in C4 crops, emphasizing the importance of gene expression in leaves and specific cellular distribution for efficient C4 photosynthesis development.
Study of resistance mechanism of Alternaria blight () by biochemical markers in Indian Mustard ( L. Czern. &Coss.).
Front Plant Sci
August 2024
Centre for Advanced Studies on Climate Change, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Samastipur, Bihar, India.
Article Synopsis
- * In a study of 219 mustard genotypes, ten were consistently resistant to Alternaria blight, with findings showing a negative correlation between disease severity and yield; catalase enzyme activity was notably higher in resistant plants.
- * Varuna was identified as a tolerant genotype while Giriraj was susceptible; Varuna also had higher levels of important amino acids methionine and tryptophan, indicating its potential for enhanced resistance to Alternaria diseases.

Article Synopsis
- - The global population is rising, increasing the demand for food and creating challenges for food security due to climate change impacts like heat stress on cereal crops.
- - To ensure sustainable production of staple cereals like rice, wheat, and maize, there is a need to develop climate-resilient cultivars that can withstand these environmental stresses.
- - Genome editing technologies, particularly CRISPR/Cas9, are promising tools for creating heat-tolerant crop varieties by precisely modifying their genomes, thus addressing the slow progression of traditional breeding methods.
Fusarium wilt pandemic: current understanding and molecular perspectives.
Funct Integr Genomics
February 2024
Centre for Advanced Studies On Climate Change, RPCAU, Pusa, 848125, Samastipur, Bihar, India.
Article Synopsis
- * The Fusarium pathogen's genetic variability has led to multiple races that can infect different plant species across various regions, complicating management strategies.
- * Effective control of Fusarium wilt relies on breeding crop varieties that are resistant to specific pathogen races, necessitating a deeper understanding of the pathogen's life cycle, genetics, and responses to climate change.
Genome-wide dissection of AT-hook motif nuclear-localized gene family and their expression profiling for drought and salt stress in rice ().
Front Plant Sci

Department of AB&MB, CBSH, Dr. Rajendra Prasad Central Agricultural University, Samastipur, Bihar, India.
AT-hook motif nuclear localized () genes are functionally very less explored, but their nature is very diverse. In the present study, we identified 20 genes in rice. Phylogenetic analyses and evolutionary classification of genes showed that they are conserved in plants, but the number of genes is still expanding in different crops and regulating new biological functions.

Given the future demand for food crops, increasing crop productivity in drought-prone rainfed areas has become essential. Drought-tolerant varieties are warranted to solve this problem in major crops, with drought tolerance as a high-priority trait for future research. Maize is one such crop affected by drought stress, which limits production, resulting in substantial economic losses.

Funct Integr Genomics
June 2023
Department of Genetics and Plant Breeding, RPCAU, Pusa, Samastipur, Bihar, 848125, India.
Article Synopsis
- Millets are nutrient-rich cereals with potential for climate resilience, but their productivity is limited due to insufficient yield improvement strategies and lack of genomic resources.
- Recent advances in genomic data and tools, especially next-generation sequencing (NGS), have opened up new possibilities for enhancing millet breeding efficiency and precision.
- NGS and other omics technologies enable marker-assisted breeding and the discovery of high-throughput markers, providing opportunities to improve the nutritional value and yield of millets in response to climate challenges.
