Rice is the most important food crop worldwide and sustainable rice production is important
for ensuring global food security. Biotic stresses limit rice production significantly and among …

Watermelon, Citrullus lanatus, is the world's third largest fruit crop. Reference genomes with
gaps and a narrow genetic base hinder functional genomics and genetic improvement of …

The intensification of food production via conventional crop breeding alone is inadequate to
cater for global hunger. The development of precise and expeditious high throughput …

Improved agricultural and industrial production organisms are required to meet the future
global food demands and minimize the effects of climate change. A new resource for crop …

Micronutrient malnutrition is one of the major causes of human disorders in the developing
world. Iron (Fe) is an important micronutrient due to its use in human metabolism such as …

For thousands of years, humans have been improving crops to better suit their needs. These
enhancements are driven by changes in the genetic makeup of the plant. While this was …

Fast neutron (FN) radiation mediated mutagenesis is a unique approach among the several
induced mutagenesis methods being used in plant science in terms of impacted mutations …

Three Ethyl methansulphonate (EMS)-induced stay-green mutants (SGM-1, SGM-2 and
SGM-3) and their wild-type (WT), were tested for their Stay-Green (SG) and drought …

To combat drought stress in rice, a major threat to global food security, three major
quantitative trait loci for 'yield under drought stress'(qDTYs) were successfully exploited in …

We report here the genome-wide changes resulting from low N (N-W+), low water (N+ W-))
and dual stresses (NW-) in root and shoot tissues of two rice genotypes, namely, IR 64 …
