Ten germplasm of Desi and Kabuli chickpea namely BGM-568, JKG-5303, KKG-306, BG-2083, JSC-61, NDG-5-21, Udai, NDG-54, KWR108, and BG-256 were collected from department of GPB of this university and taken in present research work. After harvesting the seeds of all the germplasm were collected separately and used for analysis of some physical, protein fractionation and amino acid composition. The...

An expected use case of plant phenotype ontologies will be the identification of germplasm containing particular traits of interest. If phenotype data from experiments is annotated using ontologies, it makes sense to include annotations to that germplasm source. A lack of standardized data formatting reduces the utility of these data. Standardizing germplasm data, including links to germplasm d...

The incidence of clavicipitaceous anamorphic endophytes in a Hordeum spp. germplasm collection is reported. The potential application of endophytes as biocontrol agents against pests of cereal crops is recognized. Suggestions are proposed to modify existing germplasm maintenance procedures to ensure that both seed viability and endophyte viability and diversity are maintained in grass ,germplas...

Problem statement: The medicinal value of opium poppy (2n = 22, Papaver somniferum L.) is due to presence of more than two dozen alkaloids. The genetic origin and diversity of cultivars used in the breeding collection is not fully known. To evaluate the genetic diversity of the 24 germplasm currently cultivated in the state to provide genetic information about heterogeneity, using RAPD and ISSR...

The evaluation of potato germplasm for resistance to potato tuberworm, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae), is a valuable component of integrated pest management; however, few attempts have been made to identify natural genetic tuber resistance to tuberworm on potato germplasm. The objective of this study was to screen potato germplasm with potential tuberworm resistance...

— In contrast to a perception that ex situ collections of germplasm are rarely used, this empirical case study reveals large numbers of germplasm samples distributed by the US National Germplasm System to many types of scientific institutions located in numerous countries around the world. Germplasm distributions outside the United States favor developing over developed countries in several way...

Fifteen strawberry germplasm collected from local and exotic sources were evaluated for different qualitative and quantitative characters. The germplasm showed variation for majority of the studied traits. Plant height during peak harvest ranged from 14.67 to 25.00 cm and FA 007 exhibited the tallest plants. The maximum number of leaves plant was produced by FA 006 (46.67). The maximum number o...

Harnessing diversity from germplasm collections is more feasible today because of the development of lower-cost and higher-throughput genotyping methods. However, the cost of phenotyping is still generally high, so efficient methods of sampling and exploiting useful diversity are needed. Genomic selection (GS) has the potential to enhance the use of desirable genetic variation in germplasm coll...
