Enhancing crop yield in Solanaceous species through the genetic manipulation of energy metabolism.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The improvement of crop yield has been endeavoured for centuries; whereas traditional breeding strategies have achieved this, until recently transgenic approaches to yield improvement have generally been less successful. In this mini-review, we discuss metabolic engineering strategies specifically targeting energy metabolism as a strategy for yield enhancement.

Evaluation of Effect of Improved Trichoderma inocula on Flowering and Crop Productivity of Bean
The transition from the vegetative phase to reproductive phase is the most important event in production and genetic innovation. This phenomenon is influenced by many genetic and environmental factors in plants. According to studies carried out in this field, one of the environmental factors affects the reproductive and flowering process is Trichoderma species, which is abundant in soil. This s...
متن کاملLand surface modification and crop diversification for enhancing productivity of a Vertisol
Vertisols occur extensively in centralIndiaand have high production potentials. Because of the high clay content (40-60% or more), high bulk density (1.5-1.8 Mg m-3) and related properties, these soils have high moisture storage capacity. Conversely, these soils become very hard when dry and very sticky when wet. Since last two decades, scientists, farmers and also the policy makers have be...
متن کاملThe role of plant growth regulators in enhancing crop yield under saline conditions: from theory to practice
Intensified salinization of water and soil resources has promoted interest for research and approaches of improving crop yield under saline conditions. Reviewing the literature showed that the records on understanding of different aspects of salt stress and enhanced salinity tolerance in the world goes back to more than a century. Different approaches have been suggested to increase crop yield ...
متن کاملEngineering photosynthesis: progress and perspectives
Photosynthesis is the basis of primary productivity on the planet. Crop breeding has sustained steady improvements in yield to keep pace with population growth increases. Yet these advances have not resulted from improving the photosynthetic process per se but rather of altering the way carbon is partitioned within the plant. Mounting evidence suggests that the rate at which crop yields can be ...
متن کاملGenetic Variation and Agronomic Evaluation of Chickpea Cultivars for Grain Yield and Its Components Under Irrigated and Rainfed Growing Conditions
Water deficit is an important factor limiting crop growth all over the world. In order to evaluate genetic variation, heritability and the interrelationship between agronomic traits, twenty chickpea genotypes were cultivated in two separated randomized complete block experiments with three replications under normal irrigated and rainfed conditions. The experiments were carried out at the Agricu...
