Advancements in genetic techniques and functional genomics for enhancing crop traits and agricultural sustainability.
Brief Funct Genomics
September 2024
Department of Plant Sciences, Central University of Himachal Pradesh, Dharamshala-176215, Himachal Pradesh, India.
Article Synopsis
- Genetic variability is key for creating new crop types with beneficial traits, which can come from wild plants or be created through mutations.
- The study explores methods like forward and reverse genetics to identify important genes and improve crops, but faces challenges with genetic redundancy.
- Advanced gene editing tools help researchers understand and modify genes to develop better crops that can resist stress and increase yields without changing their basic genetic structure.
Article Synopsis
- A study utilized genome-wide association mapping on 222 diverse potato varieties to identify genetic factors linked to these biotic stresses, using large datasets of SNP markers.
- Findings revealed key SNP associations for late blight and PCN resistance, primarily on chromosomes 5, 10, and 11, along with varying prediction accuracy for resistance traits; this research aids in the development of resistant potato breeds.

Introduction: Mungbean is a vital pulse crop in India that can thrive in dry-land conditions and is grown in three seasons, with the added benefit of being used as green manure due to its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen. Recently, pod rot disease has emerged as a serious threat to mungbean cultivation in India.
Methods: In this study, morpho-molecular identification of associated pathogens and the bio-efficacy of systemic and non-systemic fungicides as well as genotype screening was performed during the years 2019 and 2020.
Root system architecture for abiotic stress tolerance in potato: Lessons from plants.
Front Plant Sci
September 2022
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)-Central Potato Research Institute, Regional Station, Meerut, India.
Article Synopsis
- The root is crucial for nutrient and water uptake and plant stability, but potatoes face significant challenges due to abiotic stresses like heat and drought.
- Significant research has been done on root system architecture (RSA) in other plants, particularly cereals, which can inform improvements in potato cultivation.
- This mini-review focuses on enhancing RSA in potatoes through multi-disciplinary approaches to improve their resilience against abiotic stresses based on insights gained from studies on model plants and cereals.
Identification of promising chickpea interspecific derivatives for agro-morphological and major biotic traits.
Front Plant Sci
August 2022
Indian Council of Agricultural Research (ICAR)-National Bureau of Plant Genetic Resources, New Delhi, India.
Article Synopsis
- Wild chickpea species exhibit traits that enhance climate resilience and productivity, making them valuable for hybridization with cultivated varieties.
- This study focused on evaluating F generation interspecific hybrids developed from specific wild species in two diverse regions of India, examining variations in seed yield and related traits.
- The research identified promising hybrid derivatives with desirable characteristics, and recommended them for further breeding efforts aimed at developing resilient chickpea genotypes.
Impacts, Tolerance, Adaptation, and Mitigation of Heat Stress on Wheat under Changing Climates.

Heat stress (HS) is one of the major abiotic stresses affecting the production and quality of wheat. Rising temperatures are particularly threatening to wheat production. A detailed overview of morpho-physio-biochemical responses of wheat to HS is critical to identify various tolerance mechanisms and their use in identifying strategies to safeguard wheat production under changing climates.
