Influence of NPK Levels on Performance of Indian Mustard (Brassica juncea L.)

Assessment of genetic variation within Indian mustard (Brassica juncea L.) germplasm using RAPD markers

ASSESSING APHID INFESTATION IN INDIAN MUSTARD (Brassica juncea L.) UNDER PRESENT AND FUTURE CLIMATE SCENARIOS

Mustard (Brassica juncea L.) production in India suffers from aphid, Lipaphis erysimi (Kaltenbach), infestation considerably. Role of weather on the incidence and development of mustard aphids was assessed from experimental data from six north Indian locations. Aphid appearance and population build up was found to be regulated by temperature and time to attain peak population was relatively sho...

Growth response modulation by putrescine in Indian mustard Brassica juncea L. under multiple stress.

Plants, in general, are put to various kinds of stress, biotic and abiotic, both natural and manmade. Infestation by insect pests and diseases, and extreme conditions such as salinity, temperature, etc., as well as heavy metal contamination affect their growth performance. Here, we studied the impact of salinity and heavy metal pollution on the growth performance of Indian Mustard Brassica junc...

Micropropagation of three genotypes of Indian mustard [{Brassica juncea} (L.) Czern.] using seedling-derived transverse thin cell layer (tTCL) explants

Micropropagation of three genotypes of Indian mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] using 7-days old seedling-derived transverse thin cell layer (tTCL) explants was accomplished. The genotype, explant source and addition of silver nitrate to the medium significantly influenced shoot bud induction. MS medium with 26.6 μM of 6-Benzylaminopurin (BAP) and 3.22 μM of 1-naphtaleneacetic acid (NAA) wa...

Bioregulatory Role of “thiourea” in Multistress Tolerance of the Indian Mustard (brassica Juncea)

Thiourea (TU) application has been identified as a novel bioregulator technology, for imparting stress tolerance in crop plants. TU application has shown normal growth of Brassica juncea seedlings under salinity stress. In order to study the molecular mechanism underlying TU mediated response, genome wide transcriptome profiling of Brassica juncea seeds was undertaken. In one hour soaking time,...
