The classic wheat evolutionary history is one of adaptive radiation of the diploid Triticum/Aegilops species (A, S, D), genome convergence and divergence of the tetraploid (Triticum turgidum AABB, and Triticum timopheevii AAGG) and hexaploid (Triticum aestivum, AABBDD) species. We analyzed Acc-1 (plastid acetyl-CoA carboxylase) and Pgk-1 (plastid 3-phosphoglycerate kinase) genes to determine ph...

Water availability is a major limiting factor for wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) production in rain-fed agricultural systems worldwide. Root architecture is important for water and nutrition acquisition for all crops, including wheat. A set of 158 diverse wheat genotypes of Australian (72) and Indian (86) origin were studied for morpho-agronomical traits in field under irrigated and drought stres...

The phytotoxicity of Se(IV) was determined through root and shoot growth inhibition, biomass (dry (DM), fresh (FM)) production, water content, photosynthetic pigment (chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and carotenoids) levels and Se accumulation in the roots and shoots. The sensitivities of monocotyledonae (Hordeum vulgare, Triticum aestivum) and dicotyledonae plants (Sinapis alba, Brassica napus) we...

A field experiment was conducted during rainy (kharif) and winter (rabi) seasons 2019–20 2020–21 at the research farm of ICAR-Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi to study effect rice establishment techniques (RETs) microbial consortia mediated in situ residue management options on nitrogen (N) budgeting a (Oryza sativa L.)-wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cropping system (RWCS). The l...

single and joint toxicity of chloramphenicol and hg acting on wheat (triticum aestivum l.), chinese cabbage (brassica campestris l.) and corn (zea mays l.) were investigated. the results showed positive correlations between root elongation inhibition of three plants and concentrations of pollutants added to soil (p
