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

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

Control Strategy for Crown Gall Disease of Grapevines through Water-Based Plant Extracts

Control Strategy for Crown Gall Disease of Grapevines through Water-Based Plant Extracts

July 6, 2014. Rhizobium vitis cause the crown gall disease of grapevines resulting in  considerable economic losses. Recent reports have revealed that the water-based crude extracts from hairy vetch (Vicia villosa) and ryegrass (Lolium perenne) act as a deterrent to antimicrobial activity against R. vitis. Researchers now  have shown that in a gree
