The development of hybrid maize cultivars resistance to Striga is a promising solution to reducing annual crop loss in endemic areas by 20-100%. This study aims to develop high-yielding Striga resistance hybrid maize cultivars to reduce annual crop loss due to Striga in endemic areas. Seven maize parents, including three inbred lines; TZSTR 190, TZSTR 193, and TZEI 114, and four open-pollinated varieties; SAMMAZ 14, SAMMAZ 16, SAMMAZ 17, and SUWAN, were identified and crossed in a 7´7 full-dial cross according to Griffin Method 1, Model I. The 7 parents, their F1’s, reciprocals, and 3 checks; GWG 111, GWG 888, and 5005 hybrids were evaluated in a glasshouse trial for Striga infestation reaction screening in 2019 and 2020. Significant variations were observed across environments, treatments, and genotypes for most characters, suggesting highly variable genotypes suitable for Striga resistance selection due to their varying responses in different environments. Cross combinations of high-yielding but Striga-susceptible parents like SAMMAZ 14 and SUWAN showed some resistance to Striga. The study identified several resistant hybrids with low Striga count and damage, as well as significant performers in grain yield per hectare and most yield components. The study found significant variance in GCA (General Combining Ability), SCA (Specific Combining Ability), and reciprocal effects variance in Striga damage and Striga count in inoculated plants, indicating the importance of additive and non-additive gene actions and maternal gene effects. - Mathematical modelling approach to understanding the effect of Mg-rich synthetic gypsum used as fertilizer on growth of Hevea brasiliensis in acid soils

Knowledge of plant growth dynamics is essential where constraints such as COVID-19 lockdown restrictions have limited its field establishment. Thus, modeling can be used to predict plant performance where field planting/monitoring cannot be achieved. This study was conducted on the growth dynamics of rubber planted on two acid soils treated with either dolomitic limestone (GML), kieserite or Mg-rich synthetic gypsum (MRSG) to supply the Mg required by rubber seedlings. To understand the effect of applied treatments on the changes in rubber growth, data on plant height, stem diameter and biomass were regressed against months after transplanting (MAT) using the equation y = A/ (1+be-ct), and its derivative dydt=Abce−ct(1+be−ct)z was utilized for estimating the growth rate of the parameters. The dynamics in plant height, stem girth and plant biomass were modelled using an exponential function of y = Aebt and their rate of change was derived using dx/dy = Abebt. The experiment indicated that the logistic growth curve model expressed as y = A/ (1+be-ct), closely described the growth in terms of each parameter against months after transplanting. A high probability level (a = 0.0001) was recorded in the model for all the treatments in the study. The growth of rubber seedlings in the glasshouse was improved by MRSG treatment in the two studied soils (Ultisol and Oxisol), giving comparable results to other Mg fertilizer treatments. The plant performed better on the Ultisol compared to the Oxisol. The results indicate the potential of using MRSG to replace conventional Mg-fertilizers to sustain rubber seedling growth. - Genotype-Dependent Strigolactones Effect on Stimulation of Striga hermonthica (Del.)

Purpose: To identify the presence of GR24 and other strigolactones in 27 maize genotypes in experiments 2 and 3 m – derived from a 7 x 7 full diallel single crossing of Striga resistant and susceptible maize genotypes including their parents and two checks varieties in experiment 1 – using an LC/MS/MS analytical procedure, as well as the level of stimulation of Striga seed germination by each genotype in a germination assay.Research Method: Four different concentrations of prepared root exudates (0, 2, 4, and 6 mg/ml) were collected from 10 seedlings each of 27 genotypes for LCMS analysis and germination assay hydroponically through freeze drying. GR24 standard was used as a positive control.Findings: The LC/MS/MS analysis revealed that only two genotypes namely SUWAN X SAMMAZ 17 and Check GWG111 produced a detectable amount of a similar compound as that of the standard GR24 (m/z 321). In the germination assay, all genotypes showed varied degrees of Striga seed germination stimulation at all applied concentrations of each genotype, with GR24 at 6 mg/ml and 4 mg/ml giving the highest Striga seed germination counts of 68.83 and 47.00 respectively, while TZSTR 190 at 2 mg/ml had the least Striga seeds germination counts of 2.00.Research Limitations: The paucity of funds to acquire different strigolactone standards and repetition of the LCMS analysis using other concentrations of the samples.Originality/Value: This research paves the way for the utilization of the freeze-drying method to concentrate exudates without degrading strigolactones. - Unravelling the dynamics of genotype and environment interactions on chilli (Capsicum annuum L.) yield-related attributes in soilless planting systems

Scientific Reports, 2024
Evaluation of genotypes to identify high-yielding and stable varieties is crucial for chilli production sustainability and food security. These analyses are essential, particularly when the breeding program aims to select lines with great adaptability and stability. Thirty chilli genotypes were evaluated for yield stability under four soilless planting systems viz; fertigation, HydroStock (commercial hydrogel), BioHydrogel (biodegradable hydrogel), and hydroponic to study the influence of genotype by environment interaction. The research used a split-plot randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two cropping cycles and five replications. The GGE biplot analysis was employed to assess the mean versus stability perspective in explaining the variation in genotypic and genotype-by-environment effects on the yield-related attributes for yield per plant, fruit number, fruit length, and width. Stability analysis denoted genotypes G26 and G30 as the most stable for yield per plant, while G16, G22, and G30 were stable for the number of fruits per plant. Among the four planting systems evaluated, HydroStock and BioHydrogel outperformed the others in yield per plant, demonstrating the highest level of informativeness or discrimination. These findings offer critical insights for future crop breeding programs and the optimization of agricultural practices. - Genetic consequences of chronic gamma irradiation on agro morphological traits in chili under hydrogel enhance media

Induced mutation for the creation of desirable traits through chronic gamma irradiation provides an opportunity for the selection and development of new chili varieties. This study was conducted to assess the effects of different doses of chronic gamma irradiation on morpho-physiological traits in chili. Ten plants from each variety were exposed to different doses of chronic gamma irradiation for 277.02 h at three weeks after germination under gamma greenhouse facilities, with accumulative dose; 185. 61Gy , 83. 11Gy , 47. 096Gy , 30. 474Gy , 19. 4Gy , 13. 9Gy , 11. 1Gy , 8. 31Gy , 5. 54Gy ) and 2. 77Gy respectively. Highly significant differences were observed among doses (Rings) of chronic gamma irradiation expressed in mean values for all investigated traits. Relatively moderate doses of chronic gamma irradiation represented by doses 47. 096 Gy (Ring 4) and 19. 40 Gy (Ring 6) resulted in significant stimulation for most of the studied characters . The highest heritability was recorded in days to flowering at 99.88 while the lowest was observed in fruit dry weight at 34.66 %. High genetic advance were recorded for most of the quantitative traits studied. In addition, a highly significant positive correlation was observed between total fruit per plant, total number of fruit per plant, plant height, fruit fresh weight, number of secondary branches, chlorophyll a, fruit dry weight, total chlorophyll content, stem diameter, fruit length and fruit girth. With increasing chronic gamma dose, mutagenic efficiency and efficacy generally increased. Induced variety of desirable features will considerably increase the chilli's amelioration through mutation breeding, leading to the development of improved varieties. The results of this research offer valuable information for the use of chronic gamma radiation in the mutations breeding of Capsicum annuum L. , which will be advantageous for future breeding programs. - ESTIMATION OF GENETIC ANALYSIS BY USING HALF DIALLEL CROSSES UNDERLYING EGGPLANT FOR TROPICAL CLIMATES

Genetika, 2024
Predicting and evaluating hybrid performance is essential in eggplant (Solanum melongena) breeding. Based on this background, 55 F1 hybrids derived from 11 ? 11 half-diallel fashion were evaluated on agronomic and morphological conventional descriptors in two locations. Different genetic components of variation were also calculated for all the studied characters. Almost all the characters showed significant environmental effects except the number of main stems per plant and fruit production per plant. The value of mean squares for GCA was larger than those values of SCA for all variables except fruit production per plant, demonstrating that the additive gene action predominated for both locations. Additionally, Baker?s ratio for the characters under investigation ranged from 0.66 to 0.98, showing that the additive effect is prevalent among the evaluated characters. The dominant genetic effects (b) were smaller than additive genetic effects (a) of all the studied characters except for fruit production per plant. Positive dominance (H1 and H2) values were obtained for all the studied characters, proving the significance of non-additive components in the inheritance of these characters. Moreover, the value of h2/H2 was less than one for all the studied characters revealing that one major gene group was involved for all characters. Therefore, it was indicated that hybrid breeding might be effectively employed to increase production and improve quality attributes in eggplant. - Genetic diversity and utilization of ginger (Zingiber officinale) for varietal improvement: A review

Aims Agriculture and Food, 2024
<abstract> <p>Ginger is widely cultivated globally and considered the third most important spice crop due to its medicinal properties. It is cultivated for its therapeutic potential in treating different medical conditions and has been extensively researched for its pharmacological and biochemical properties. Despite its significant value, the potential for genetic improvement and sustainable cultivation has been largely ignored compared to other crop species. Similarly, ginger cultivation is affected by various biotic stresses such as viral, bacterial, and fungal infections, leading to a significant reduction in its potential yields. Several techniques, such as micropropagation, germplasm conservation, mutation breeding, and transgenic have been extensively researched in enhancing sustainable ginger production. These techniques have been utilized to enhance the quality of ginger, primarily due to its vegetative propagation mode. However, the ginger breeding program has encountered challenges due to the limited genetic diversity. In the selection process, it is imperative to have a broad range of genetic variations to allow for an efficient search for the most effective plant types. Despite a decline in the prominence of traditional mutation breeding, induced mutations remain extremely important, aided by a range of biotechnological tools. The utilization of in vitro culture techniques serves as a viable alternative for the propagation of plants and as a mechanism for enhancing varietal improvement. This review synthesizes knowledge on limitations to ginger cultivation, conservation, utilization of cultivated ginger, and the prospects for varietal improvement.</p> </abstract> - A systematic review of emerging trends in crop cultivation using soilless techniques for sustainable agriculture and food security in post-pandemic

Aims Agriculture and Food, 2024
<abstract> <p>By 2050, the global population is anticipated to reach 10 billion, marking a significant 34% increase and raising concerns regarding food availability. Challenges such as the recent pandemic, which led to workforce and input shortages in agriculture, have made it difficult for many countries to maintain adequate food self-sufficiency (SSL). It is crucial to explore various farming methods to ensure that food remains available and affordable, especially in urban areas where over 55% of the population resides. Traditional agriculture faces issues like poor soil and excessive fertilizer use, which harm the environment. These factors threaten sustainable agriculture and food security, particularly in urban environments. Adopting sustainable soilless technology can enhance urban agriculture by providing a controlled environment for producing healthy food and addressing these challenges post-pandemic. This review, utilizing the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) framework, a widely recognized and rigorous method for conducting systematic reviews, focused on urban agriculture, specifically soilless technologies, as emerging trends in crop cultivation. It examined conventional and cutting-edge urban production systems aimed at promoting sustainable agriculture and food security. The review examined soilless farming techniques such as aeroponics, hydroponics, and aquaponics, highlighting their environmental impact, resource efficiency, and water usage. It carefully considered the advantages and disadvantages of these technologies compared to conventional soil-based farming. Furthermore, the review showcased the successful cultivation of various fresh vegetables and fruits using soilless technologies, each with advantages supporting urban agriculture and overall food security. The findings suggest that these innovative strategies hold promise in fostering sustainable urban agriculture and ensuring food security during a pandemic. These results lay the groundwork for establishing a framework to assess the sustainability of urban agricultural strategies and their practical application in real-world scenarios.</p> </abstract> - Physicochemical Properties and Tissue Structure of High Kernel Elongation Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Foods, 2023
Heat treatment could affect the structure and properties of rice varieties. The present study was conducted in order to determine the effects of heat treatment on the physicochemical properties and tissue structure of Mahsuri Mutan, Basmati 370 and MR219 rice varieties. The three rice varieties were subjected to heat treatment (ageing) at 90 °C, using an oven, for 3 h. After the heat treatment, the samples were cooled at room temperature (25 °C) for 1 h. Physicochemical properties, such as alkali digestion value, water uptake ratio, solids in cooking water, high kernel elongation ratio and amylose contents, were determined. The procedure used in determining both apparent and absolute amylose involved measuring the iodine affinity of defatted whole starch. Ahigh-performance anion-exchange chromatograph was used to analyse branch chain length distribution of amylopectin quantitatively. The starch structure of the rice samples was observed under a scanning electron microscope. Data collected on physicochemical traits, heat treatment and control (ageing and non-ageing) were subjected to an analysis of variance using SAS software version 9.4. In this study, Mahsuri Mutan and Basmati 370 showed superior high kernel elongation as compared to their respective rice progenies. This study also found that heat treatment directly affected the increasingly high kernel elongation for both populations. The phenotypic correlation co-efficient indicated that there was a high positive correlation between high kernel elongation and water uptake ratio, implying that selection for water uptake ratio would increase the high kernel elongation characteristic. The heat treatment showed significant difference in all the physicochemical traits of the varieties studied. Heat treatment also affected the very long branch chains of starch, such as amylose. Observation under an electron microscope showed that the samples subjected to heat treatment had more cracks on the tissue structure compared to normal rice samples. The hexagon structure in Mahsuri Mutan produced a greater elongation effect on its kernel. The findings from this study could be useful to breeders in the selection and development of a new high kernel elongation rice variety. - Influence of Composition of Soilless Substrates Monitored with Iot Sensor Nodes on the Growth, Nutrient and Fruit Quality of Rockmelons (Cucumis melo Var.

Indian Journal of Agricultural Research, 2023
Background: Coconut coir dust (CD) is commonly used for growing selected fruit and vegetables. It is a soilless medium with excellent drainage and high-water holding capacity; free from infestations of weeds and pathogens. However, plant growth is adversely affected due to its high salinity, potassium and low pH. Methods: A greenhouse experiment was conducted to investigate the influence of different soilless media on rock melon’s growth, nutrient and fruit quality. Five soilless media were prepared including CD as control. A customised portable IoT system was deployed to monitor and collect relevant real-time agronomic data. Result: Plant height, yield, leaf area, total fresh fruit weight and soluble solids content (sweetness) of rock melon were significantly affected by the growing medium. Among the five media used, the growth and quality characteristics were highest in M2 followed by M3. It was found that a combination of burnt rice husk (BRH) and perlite with CD remarkably improved the growth of fruit quality of rock melon. - Genetic analysis of anthracnose resistant and heat tolerant chili inbreed lines based on morpho-physiological characteristics
