Efficacy of DNA barcode internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS 2) in phylogenetic study of Alpinia species from Peninsular Malaysia. Physiol. Mol. Biol. Plants (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2020-08-29 Wei Harn Tan,Li Chin Chai,Chiew Foan Chin
Alpinia belongs to a large genus with many species found in Peninsular Malaysia. Several species of Alpinia exhibit important medicinal potential. However, progressive studies on the genus Alpinia were hampered by difficulties encountered in species identification. With the advancement achieved in genomic technology, more sensitive tools such as DNA barcoding were developed, which can be used for species

SOS5 gene-abscisic acid crosstalk and their interaction with antioxidant system in Arabidopsis thaliana under salt stress. Physiol. Mol. Biol. Plants (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2020-08-29 Tuba Acet,Asım Kadıoğlu
SOS5 locus, encodes cell wall adhesion protein under salt stress conditions in plants, and it is required for normal cell expansion as well as for sustaining cell wall integrity and structure. However, it is still unknown how this gene locus-ABA cross-talk and interacts with the antioxidant mechanism under salt stress conditions. For this purpose, the study focused on mutant sos5-1 plant treated with

Possible involvement of xanthophyll cycle pigments in heat tolerance of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). Physiol. Mol. Biol. Plants (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2020-08-26 Pramod Kumar,Sanjay Yadav,Madan Pal Singh
Chickpea being a winter season crop often experiences heat stress during reproductive phase. For chickpea production, terminal heat stress is one of the major constraints. Plants have built up numerous mechanisms to combat the heat stress. We considered the photosynthetic pigments for heat tolerance. Therefore, in order to investigate the heat tolerance in relation to photosynthetic pigments, a field

Essential amino acid profiling of the four lac hosts belonging to genus Flemingia: its implications on lac productivity. Physiol. Mol. Biol. Plants (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2020-08-26 Sandeep Kaushik,Amit Vashishtha,S Shweta,K K Sharma,Suman Lakhanpaul
The Indian lac insect (Kerria lacca), a hemipteran, phloem sap sucking sedentary insect is an important bioresource which thrives on tender twigs of more than 400 plant species belonging to various genera and families. The most common commercial host plants for lac cultivation are big trees hence cultivation was concentrated mainly to dense forests across the country till last decade. Recently, a new

The low copy nuclear region, RPB2 as a novel DNA barcode region for species identification in the rattan genus Calamus (Arecaceae). Physiol. Mol. Biol. Plants (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2020-08-26 Anoja Kurian,Suma Arun Dev,Vadakkethil Balakrishnan Sreekumar,E M Muralidharan
Taxonomic complexities, like environmental plasticity and homoplasy, make precise identification challenging in Calamus, the genus of spiny climbing palms of the subfamily Calamoideae (Arecaceae). In the present study, the species discriminatory power of twelve potential DNA barcode regions (rbcL, matK, psbA-trnH, rpoC, rpoB, psbK-psbI, atpF-atpH, psbZ-trnfM, ITS1, ITS2, PRK, and RPB2) were evaluated

Pre evaluation of cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) germplasm for genotypic variation in the identification of K efficient genotypes through different statistical tools. Physiol. Mol. Biol. Plants (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2020-08-26 K Susan John,J Sreekumar,M N Sheela,S U Shanida Beegum,Sanket J More,G Suja
Among the tropical tuber crops, cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) deserves special attention as regards to its higher biological efficiency in terms of dry matter production which incidentally implies to the higher amount of nutrient extraction from the soil resulting in better response to the application of manures and fertilizers. Among the major nutrients, Potassium (K) is considered as the key

Causal shoot and root system traits to variability and plasticity in juvenile cassava (Manihot esculenta Crantz) plants in response to reduced soil moisture. Physiol. Mol. Biol. Plants (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2020-08-26 Michael O Adu
Cassava is an important source of food security and livelihoods for millions of consumers daily. Water deficit conditions are one of the major factors that affect the development of root system architecture (RSA) and consequently, crop productivity, and yet, due to its long maturity periods and bulky storage root systems, RSA studies in cassava are uncommon. The objective of this study was to identify

Marker aided introgression of opaque 2 (o2) allele improving lysine and tryptophan in maize (Zea mays L.). Physiol. Mol. Biol. Plants (IF 2.005) Pub Date : 2020-08-25 Bharathi Pukalenthy,Dhasarathan Manickam,Karthikeyan Adhimoolam,Sandesh Goragundi Mahesh,Nagalakshmi Ramanathan,Sarankumar Chandran,Vellaikumar Sampathrajan,Ravikesavan Rajasekaran,Kavithapushpam Arunachalam,Kalaiselvi Senthil,Vignesh Muthusamy,Firoz Hossain,Senthil Natesan
Maize is the predominant food source for the world population, but lack of lysine and tryptophan in maize endosperm cannot fulfill the nutritional requirements of humans. Hence, the improvement of lysine and tryptophan content is the ultimate goal of maize biofortification programs. In the present study, the marker-assisted backcross (MABC) breeding strategy was used to enhance the lysine and tryptophan

Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential macronutrients for rice. In this study, we used 120 rice backcross recombinant inbred lines (BRILs) derived from a cross indica cv. Changhui 891 and japonica cv. 02428. To elucidate the genetic control of P deficiency tolerance in rice, we have used high quality SNPs bin markers to identify some important loci underlying phosphorus deficiency. The bin map was
