Axillary shoot formation is a key determinant of plant architecture. Formation of the axillary shoot is regulated by initiation of the axillary meristem or outgrowth of the axillary bud. Here, we show that rice (Oryza sativa) TILLERS ABSENT1 (TAB1; also known as Os WUS), an ortholog of Arabidopsis thaliana WUS, is required to initiate axillary meristem development. We found that formation of th...

The field experiment entitled “Influence of Biofertilizers and Nitrogen on the Growth Yield Barley (Hordeum vulgare L.)" was conducted during Rabi season, 2022 at Crop Research Farm in Department agronomy, Naini Agriculture Institute, Sam Higginbottom University Agriculture, Technology Sciences, Prayagraj Uttar Pradesh. study included biofertilizers three levels (60, 80 100 kg/ha) control. layo...

Long-term selection in maize (Zea mays L.) favored single-stalked phenotypes limiting vegetative growth. However, reduced plant densities create conducive environments to the expression of branches called tillers. Tiller has motivated discussions about its yield effect variable environments, but tiller research is lacking for modern corn genotypes. The objectives this study were (a) quantify re...

BACKGROUND The cereal crops domesticated from grasses provide a large percentage of the calories consumed by humans. Domestication and breeding in individual cereals has historically occurred in isolation, although this is rapidly changing with comparative genomics of the sequenced or soon-to-be sequenced genomes of rice, sorghum, maize and Brachypodium. Genetic information transferred through ...

Machine transplantation results in serious transplant shock in seedlings and results in a longer recover stage, which negatively impacts the growth of low-position tillers and the yield of machine-transplanted rice. A barrel experiment was conducted to examine the effect of the foliar application of triacontanol (TRIA) on machine-transplanted rice during the recovery stage. TRIA (0, 1, 5, and 1...

Wheat is one of the most widely distributed crops worldwide and is of primary importance as food for human nutrition. Increasing the productivity of the new wheat varieties according to the specific climate of the region is a permanent major task. The impact of environment and some agronomy practices (previous crop and mineral fertilization) on the productivity and the structural elements of yi...

A field experiment was conducted during the rainy (kharif) seasons of 2018 and 2019 at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, to study effect crop-establishment methods enriched organic nutrient sources on growth productivity ‘Pusa Basmati 1509’ rice (Oryza sativa L.). The laid out in splitplot design with 3 replications. treatments comprised 2 main plot treatments, viz. aerobi...
