Multi-environment stability and genotype × environment interaction analysis for grain yield and micronutrient (Fe and Zn) contents in mungbean (Vigna radiata L.) Mohammad Irfan, Mohd Ashraf Bhat, Uzma Rashid, Khairiah Mubarak Alwutayd, Fatmah Ahmed Safhi, Nora M. Al Aboud, Sabina Nasseer, Z. A. Dar, Asif B. Shikari, Mohd Altaf Wani BMC Plant Biology, 2026 Micronutrient malnutrition, particularly iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) deficiencies, is a major public health concern in developing countries. Mungbean (Vigna radiata L.), a protein- and micronutrient-rich legume, offers potential to alleviate these deficiencies while providing stable grain yield under diverse environmental conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of genotypes, environmental factors, and genotype-environment interactions (GEI) on Fe and Zn concentrations and grain yield in 115 field-grown mungbean genotypes from major growing regions of India between 2021 and 2023. Genotypes were evaluated across 12 environments (4 locations × 3 years) using an augmented block design. Grain yield and seed Fe and Zn concentrations were measured, and GEI was analyzed using additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI) models, along with AMMI stability value (ASV) and yield stability index (YSI). Grain yield ranged from 1137.92 to 1272.27 kg ha⁻¹, with environmental factors contributing 37.65% and GEI 45.32% of the total variation. GEI had a highly significant effect on grain yield (p < 0.001) but minimal impact on Fe and Zn concentrations. Heritability was high for Zn (0.83) and grain yield (0.70). Fe concentration ranged from 75.22 to 87.21 ppm, and was positively correlated with Zn (r = 0.503, p < 0.001). Six genotypes (G59, G78, G27, G25, G31, and G74) showed stable yields across environments, with four of them (G27, G25, G31, G78) combining high yield stability and elevated Fe content, and two (G27, G31) also exhibiting high Zn concentrations. This study identifies mungbean genotypes with both stable yield and enhanced micronutrient content, providing valuable candidates for biofortification and future breeding programs. The findings contribute to addressing hidden hunger while supporting sustainable crop production under variable environments.
Evaluation of botanical extracts and molecular docking approaches for sustainable management of rice blast disease in Mushk Budji rice Zakir Amin, Fayaz A. Mohiddin, Suhail Ashraf, Shugufta Parveen, Tauseef A. Bhat, Sajad Un Nabi, Fehim Jeelani Wani, Asif. B. Shikari, Heena Altaf, Fazil Fayaz Wani, Vishal Gupta, Tariq A. Raja, Arif Bashir, Aasiya Qadir, Rajapandiyan Krishnamoorthy Applied Biological Chemistry, 2026 A study was carried out to explore and address the challenges posed by rice blast disease ( Magnaporthe oryzae B. C. Couch.). Keeping in view the unique qualities and cultural importance of this variety, the research introduces an innovative approach by integrating plant extracts into disease management practices through in-depth analyses and field experiments. Three concentrations of ethanol-based extracts each of the twenty-one were evaluated in vitro against the control. The percentage of mycelial inhibition was recorded and based on their effectiveness; six efficient botanicals were further evaluated in the field. The field experiments were carried out on the susceptible Mushk Budji cultivar of rice for two successive years. The results demonstrated that certain botanicals, especially extracts of Syzygium aromaticum and Podophyllum hexandrum , significantly reduced disease incidence and severity, and improved grain and straw yields, performing on par with the chemical control, Tricyclazole. Additionally, molecular docking was conducted to identify active compounds responsible for antifungal effects. The ligands for docking studiesquercetin, podophyllotoxin, and eugenolwere chosen based on literature mining for their reported antifungal activity. These phytochemicals displayed strong binding affinities ( -5.5 to − -3.8 kcal/mol) to the ToxB-like effector protein of M. oryzae , suggesting interference with fungal pathogenicity mechanisms. Among these, quercetin and podophyllotoxin were the most promising ligands. The integration of wet-lab assays and in silico analysis strengthens the case for deploying bioactive botanicals in integrated disease management. Our findings advocate the use of eco-friendly, plant-based fungicides as a viable strategy for blast disease control, promoting organic farming and preservation of indigenous rice varieties. The findings highlight the importance of developing eco-friendly, plant-based alternatives to chemical fungicides, aligning with the goals of sustainable agriculture and organic farming. Future research should focus on developing stable formulations of these botanicals, evaluating their synergistic potential with biocontrol agents, and validating their effectiveness through multi-location field trials. Additionally, further investigation into the molecular mechanisms of action and the long-term ecological and economic impacts of botanical fungicides is warranted.
Genomics-informed elucidation of trait-phenotype relationships and MABB approaches deliver major gene blast resistance in the aromatic rice landrace Mushk Budji Asif Bashir Shikari, Raheel Shafeeq Khan, Noor-ul Ain, F. A. Mohiddin, Gazala Hassan Khan, Najeeb-ul-Rehman Sofi, Zahoor A. Dar, M. Ashraf Ahangar, Gowhar Ali, Aflaq Hamid Wani, Bilal A. Padder Frontiers in Genetics, 2026 Introduction A novel set of pyramided lines for durable blast resistance was developed using marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB) strategy in the genetic background of the aromatic landrace Mushk Budji (MB). Methods Simultaneous-but-stepwise transfer of the blast resistance genes Pi54 and Pi9 was achieved through the integration of foreground selection (FS) and background genome recovery processes, aided by genome-wide SSR and &gt;1500 KASP markers. MABB, whole genome re-sequencing, coupled with stringent phenotypic selection for aroma, amylose content, kernel dimensions, and cooking quality, helped minimize the linkage drag and achieve early recurrent parent genome (RPG) recovery in the inter-cross BC 2 F 2:3 generation. Results The two-gene lines carrying Pi9 + Pi54 were developed through inter-crossing corresponding near-isogenic lines (NILs) with an RPG of approximately 90%. With the help of sequencing of the derived NILs, we were able, for the first time, to establish the role of major alleles underlying rice quality and stress resilience in MB. In the process, we confirmed the retention of favorable alleles at key genetic loci, such as BADH2 (aroma), Wx (amylose content), Rc (white pericarp), Hd1/Hd4/Hd5 (heading date), and COLD1/COLD6 (cold tolerance) in the derived NILs. GGE biplot analysis revealed stable performance of five advanced lines across target ecologies. Discussion The set of NILs was useful in elucidating the phenotypic effects of 11 genes related to grain type, quality, and adaptability traits in the landrace MB. Multi-environment screening for blast resistance, at hot spot locations, in addition to artificial inoculation, validated the resistance response of the lines to both leaf and neck blast. This study demonstrates the successful integration of genomics-assisted breeding and phenotypic selection to improve a heritage rice variety for enhanced disease resistance and ecological adaptation. The development of improved MB lines represents a rare endeavor towards the area expansion and conservation of the heirloom rice.

Genotypes for Morpho-physiological Traits under Rainfed Conditions Khusboo Tariq, Gowhar Ali, Zahoor A Dar, Asif Shikari, Aflaq Hamid, Ajaz A Lone, Aman Tutlani, Nusrat ul Islam, Andleeb Javaid, Rajneesh Kumar Legume Research, 2025 Background: The current investigation was carried out in the year 2021-22 at Dryland Agriculture Research Station (DARS), Budgam. The experiment was laid out in randomized complete block design with three replications in field and completely randomized design (CRD) in vitro conditions for evaluating different traits of genotypes. DUS characterization was conducted as per the DUS testing guidelines by Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers Act, Authority, Descriptors for rajmash (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) GOI, New Delhi [reproduced from Plant Variety Journal of India. Vol.1 (1), 2007]. Methods: The observations were recorded on 18 DUS characters including morphological and quality attributes and physiological characters. For all the features studied, the analysis of variance for morpho-physiological and qualitative attributes found significant differences, providing adequate chance to select the genotypes with desired qualities. DUS traits were examined in accordance with the descriptor, “state” and “code” provided for each character. Result: The observed range of variation were recorded for different traits for different genotypes. Cluster analysis for morphological, maturity, yield and quality characteristics arranged the rajmash genotypes into 11 clusters, as per Mahalanobis D2 analysis using Tocher’s method with cluster III having the maximum number of genotypes (8), followed by cluster I, II, IV and V with 6 genotypes, 2 genotypes were grouped in cluster VII and XI and the remaining clusters with 1 genotype each. Diversity analysis showed grouping of genotypes in 11 clusters, which will help in selection of genetically divergent parents for exploitation in hybridization programme and would constitute an essential gene pool for future breeding programme.
