Genetic analysis of osmotic adjustment in crop plants

Phenomenon of osmotic adjustment Land plants have been coping with water stress for some Plant water deficit is a component of several different 400 million years, ever since they first left the seas and stresses, including drought, salinity and low tempercolonized dry land (Thomas, 1997). Because land plants ature, which severely limit plant growth and crop experience constant fluctuations in ...

Assessment of Genetic Diversity in Crop Plants - An Overview

Adv Plants Agric Res 2017, 7(3): 00255 crop varieties will be an arduous task. Breaking yield barriers will become difficult and plant breeders will be unable to meet the requirements arising out of ever-increasing demand on account of exploding population. Genetic diversity becomes more important in context of climatic change and associated unforeseen events as it may serve as the reservoir of...

Genetics and genetic improvement of drought resistance in crop plants

Drought limits the agricultural production by preventing the crop plants from expressing their full genetic potential. Three mechanisms, namely drought escape, drought avoidance and drought tolerance are involved in drought resistance. Various morphological, physiological and biochemical characters confer drought resistance. Morphological and physiological characters show different types of inh...

Tracing the wild genetic stocks of crop plants.

A number of attempts have recently been made to identify the wild populations that form the founder germplasm stock of our crop plants (Huen et al. 1997; Molina-Cano et al. 1999; Ladizinsky 1999; Zhou et al. 1999; Badr et al. 2000). Some of these works were based mainly on comparative analyses and statistical treatments of genomic DNA polymorphism data (Huen et al. 1997; Molina-Cano et al. 1999...
