Circumventing boron toxicity to ensure enhanced yield of wheat in Australia

Circumventing boron toxicity to ensure enhanced yield of wheat in Australia

In the 3rd July, ‘14  issue of Nature wheat breeders at  the Australian Centre for Plant Functional Genomics at the University of Adelaide’s Waite campus have reported that they have identified the genes in wheat that control boron tolerance  significantly. This discovery will help wheat breeders advance more rapidly new varieties for increased yields

Acid-Catalyzed Autohydrolysis Helps Improve Sugar Recovery from Wheat Straws

Dhaka 9th July, 2014. In their joint research project, scientists from Technical University at Bursa in Turkey and North Carolina State University, USA recently carried out a comparative study between autohydrolysis and acid-catalyzed autohydrolysis of wheat straw. The object of the present study was to determine and understand the impact of acid addition in overall sugar recov

Drought resistant barley variety developed at John Innes Centre by Hardwood’s Group

Drought resistant barley variety developed at John Innes Centre by Hardwood’s Group

Dhaka 7th July. Through genetic engineering, Dr. Wendy Harwood and her colleagues at the John Innes Centre, Norwich, UK developed a barley variety more susceptible to water deficit, i.e.,  a variety characterized by stomata which closed more readily when water was scarce. In other words, this mechanism enabled the newly evolved variety to  retain the pl
