4 Evaluation of different aspects of maize pollens under drought stress; a pollens collected from field and stored in zipper bags, b viable pollen grains; c measurement of pollen grain size; d pollen tube length; e pollen moisture contents measurement. These measurements showed that pollen viability, pollen size, pollen tube length and pollen moisture contents were reduced under drought stress

Drought is major abiotic stress which hinders crop productivity across the world. Drought affects numerous crop plants at different levels of growth and development. Maize is important cereal crop and grown in large number of countries across the world. Effects of drought stress on maize are prevalent from germination to harvest maturity. Germinati...

Pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) is the sixth-leading cereal crop and a staple food crop. It is known for its high tolerance to abiotic stress and good nutrient profile. NAC (NAM, ATAF1/2 and CUC) transcription factors (TFs) play an important role in abiotic stress tolerance. In our study, the pearl millet stress-responsive NAC TF gene PgNAC21 was...
Developing high yielding rice varieties that are tolerant to drought stress is crucial for the sustainable livelihood of rice farmers in rainfed rice cropping ecosystems. Genomic selection (GS) promises to be an effective breeding option for these complex traits. We evaluated the effectiveness of two rather new options in the implementation of GS:...
Wheat is one of the most important cereal crops worldwide and drought stress is the major abiotic stress causing decrease in yield. This study was designed to unravel the genetic nature of those physiological parameters which confer drought tolerance in wheat but are mostly ignored by the plant breeders. Contrasting wheat lines for yield under drou...
Rice is one of the most important cereal crops and a staple food for more than half of the world's population and West Bengal is its leading producer in India. But several abiotic conditions, like draught, soil salinity affect rice productivity. A novel approach using endophytic bacteria to ameliorate various stress conditions is gaining popularity...
Cadmium (Cd) contamination in plant-derived food is a big concern. This study examines whether and how Ar/O2 and Ar/Air plasma techniques lead to Cd detoxification in wheat. Treatment with Ar/O2 and Ar/Air changed the seed surface and decreased the pH of seeds as well as the cultivation media. Generally, plants subjected to Cd treatment from seeds...
