Genomics-assisted breeding – A revolutionary strategy for crop improvement
Published 2017-12-01Get full textFood shortages arise more frequently owing to unpredictable crop yield losses caused by biotic and abiotic stresses. With advances in molecular biology and marker technology, a new era of molecular breeding has emerged that has greatly accelerated the pace of plant breeding. High-throughput genotypi...

Characterization of transgenic wheat lines expressing maize ABP7 involved in kernel development
Published 2023-02-01Get full textWheat is one of the major food crops in the world. Functional validation of the genes in increasing the grain yield of wheat by genetic engineering is essential for feeding the ever-growing global population. This study investigated the role of ABP7, a bHLH transcription factor from maize involved i...

Genome-wide association study and metabolic pathway prediction of barrenness in maize as a response to high planting density
Published 2022-12-01Get full textIncreasing the planting density is one way to enhance grain production in maize. However, high planting density brings about growth and developmental defects such as barrenness, which is the major factor limiting grain yield. In this study, the barrenness was characterized in an association panel co...
