GRAVITY+ is the upgrade of GRAVITY and Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI) with wide-separation fringe tracking, new adaptive optics, laser guide stars on all four 8~m Unit Telescopes (UTs), for ever fainter, all-sky, high contrast, milliarcsecond interferometry. Here we present design first results phase GRAVITY+, called Wide. Wide combines dual-beam capabilities VLTI instrument to incr...

Variability in the cultivated germplasm for economic traits such as resistance to rice tungro virus, sheathblight, yellow stem borer, drought and salt tolerance is limited. This necessitated search for the genes in secondary and tertiary gene pool of genus Oryza. Fortunately, wild species are an important reservoir ofuseful genes for resistance to major disease, pest and tolerance t...
