Breeding Strategies of Self Pollinated Crop with Special Emphasis on Hybrid Rice: Present and Future Perspectives
Abstract: AbstractDevelopment of hybrid cultivar in crop plants is a remarkable success of plant breeding. Hybrid breeding technology is greatly applied in cross pollinated crop and is limited in autogamous self pollinated crop due to strict genetic makeup of plant and floral biology. Development of genetic male sterility system in various crop plants has overcome the problem of tedious hand emasculation. Cytoplasm genetic male sterility has been widely applied in hybrid …

Screening of Allelopathic Activity of Momordica dioica and Mukia maderaspatana
Abstract: ABSTRACTAllelopathy is a chemical process which a plant uses to keep other plants from growing too close or away from it. Allelopathy refers to the chemical inhibition of one species by another. The “inhibitory” chemical releases into the environment where it affects the development and growth of neighboring plants. In the present investigation to check the allelopathic activity, two plants of family Cucurbitaceae were selected, i.e., Momordica dioica Roxb. ex …
