In silico annotation of 458 genes identified from comparative analysis of Full length cDNAs and NextGen Sequence of chromosome 2A of hexaploid wheat
Bread wheat (2n = 6x = 42) is one among the most important staple food crops in the world and plays a crucial role in food security. Owing to its large size of 17 Gb and > 80% repetitive DNA content, the appro...

The ‘Omics’ Approach for Crop Improvement Against Drought Stress
Plants are sessile organisms and are inevitably exposed to various stress factors during their lifetime. Among abiotic stresses, drought is the most prominent which affects plant growth and yield worldwide. To...

An update on chloroplast genomes
Plant cells possess two more genomes besides the central nuclear genome: the mitochondrial genome and the chloroplast genome (or plastome). Compared to the gigantic nuclear genome, these organelle genomes are ...

Organ identity of the thalloid plant body of Griffithella hookeriana and Polypleurum stylosum – Podostemoideae (Podostemaceae)
The morphological nature of the thalloid plant body of podostemads has remained controversial for long. The present investigation was carried out on two members of the Podostemoideae i.e. Griffithella hookeriana ...

Map** of a major QTL for pre-harvest sprouting tolerance on chromosome 3A in bread wheat
Quantitative trait loci (QTL) analysis was conducted for pre-harvest sprouting tolerance (PHST) in bread wheat for a solitary chromosome 3A, which was shown to be important for this trait in earlier studies. A...

Structural characterization, expression analysis and evolution of the red/far-red sensing photoreceptor gene, phytochrome C (PHYC), localized on the ‘B’ genome of hexaploid wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Phytochromes are a family of red/far-red light perceiving photoreceptors.The monocot phytochrome family is represented by three members, PHYA, PHYB and PHYC. We have isolated and characterized the first PHY gene ...

Genome-wide Molecular Approaches in Plants: From Structure to Function
Advent of technologies capable of creating ‘genome map’ even without knowledge of the phenotype or a product of a gene has tremendously improved our capability to comprehend genomes. Large fragments of DNA (> ...

Novel light-activated protein kinases as key regulators of plant growth and development
Plants have evolved highly sensitive sensory photoreceptor systems to regulate various aspects of their growth and development. Many responses such as seed germination, flowering and dormancy are controlled by...

Phytochrome modulation of calcium fluxes in wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) protoplasts
Employing the metallochromic dye murexide and by monitoring the uptake of radiolabelled calcium, photoreversible calcium fluxes were measured in wheat leaf protoplast suspensions. Results obtained by both meth...

Purification and Immunological Detection of Phytochrome from Wheat Coleoptiles
Phytochrome was partially purified from dark grown wheat coleoptiles by ammonium sulfate precipitation, hydroxyapatite column chromatography and polyethylene glycol precipitation, with a yield of about 27%. Ph...
