Introgression of Black Rot Resistance from to Cauliflower ( Group) through Embryo Rescue.

Black rot caused by pv. () is a very important disease of cauliflower ( group) resulting into 10-50% yield losses every year. Since there is a dearth of availability of resistance to black rot disease in (C genome), therefore exploration of A and B genomes was inevitable as they have been reported to be potential reservoirs of gene(s) for resistance to black rot.

Pigeonpea [ (L.) Millsp.] is a heat and drought resilient legume crop grown mostly in Asia and Africa.

Host-Induced Silencing of Two Pharyngeal Gland Genes Conferred Transcriptional Alteration of Cell Wall-Modifying Enzymes of Perturbed Nematode Infectivity in Eggplant.

The complex parasitic strategy of appears to involve simultaneous expression of its pharyngeal gland-specific effector genes in order to colonize the host plants. Research reports related to effector crosstalk in phytonematodes for successful parasitism of the host tissue is yet underexplored. In view of this, we have used effector screening approach to understand the possible interaction of pioneer genes ( and , putatively involved in late and early stage of parasitism, respectively) with other unrelated effectors such as cell-wall modifying enzymes (CWMEs) in .
