Character Association and Path Analysis for Yield Contributing Traits in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Abstract: A field experiment was laid to study correlation and path co-efficient analysis for 14 traits. The genotypic correlation co-efficient were found to be of higher magnitude than the corresponding phenotypic correlation co-efficient in most of the cases. Grain yield was highly significant and positively correlated with number of tiller per plant whereas strong positive and highly significant correlation also exhibited by plant height at genotypic level however highly significant and …

Genomic Selection for Grain Yield in Wheat Using Machine Learning on DArT Molecular Markers: A Comparative Evaluation Across Multi-Environment Trials
Abstract: Genomic selection (GS) predicts complex quantitative traits directly from genome-wide molecular markers, bypassing the need for extensive phenotypic trials and accelerating plant breeding cycles. We conducted a comparative evaluation of seven regression approaches — ridge regression (the machine-learning equivalent of RR-BLUP), Lasso, Elastic Net, Partial Least Squares, linear Support Vector Regression, Random Forest, and Gradient Boosting — for predicting grain yield from 1,279 Diversity Array Technology (DArT) molecular markers genotyped …

Advancing Climate-Resilient Agriculture: Integrative Biotechnological Approaches for Sustainable Crop Production
Abstract: Climate change presents a major challenge to global agriculture by increasing the occurrence and severity of both non-living and living stress factors, such as drought, high temperatures, salt buildup, waterlogging, and new pests and diseases. These stressors interfere with the normal functioning of plants at the physical, chemical, and genetic levels, which in turn results in lower crop yields and poorer quality. While traditional methods of plant breeding played a …

Biofertilizers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract: India, being an agriculture-based country, there has always been a concern about crop improvement here. Chemical fertilizers increased crops yield, but eventually leached out soil, polluted water basins, degraded ecosystems, reducing soil fertility and thus causing damage to overall environment. Organic fertilizers are costlier and they released nutrients in the surrounding environment thus degrading soil and water quality and human health. Thus came into picture the use of GM crops …

Water Hyacinth-Derived Biopolymers as Reinforcements for Sustainable Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites
Abstract: Composting has gained significant attention for sustainable waste management and nutrient recycling. This study investigated the efficacy of water hyacinth (Eichhornia crassipes) as a composting material to produce nutrient-rich organic fertilizer. Water hyacinth compost inoculated with nitrogen-fixing (Azotobacter chroococcum) and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (Pseudomonas putida) exhibited increased nitrogen and phosphorus content compared to uninoculated compost or cattle dung compost. Wheat grown with biofertilizer-enriched water hyacinth compost displayed significantly improved grain yield, …

Uncovering the Types: Health Benefits of Millets: A Review
Abstract: Given the current conditions of shifting dietary preferences, population growth, and unchecked exploitation of natural resources, there are not enough resources to ensure that everyone has access to a healthy diet. Since natural plant resources are quickly running out, other options must be investigated. In addition to the basic crops, such as wheat and rice, many other underutilised crops are also consumed, many of which have the potential to replace …

Analysis of Phenotypic and Genotypic Coefficient of Variance, Heritability and Genetic Advance Estimates in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)
Abstract: The present investigation was conducted to estimate the genotypic coefficient of variance (GCV) and phenotypic coefficient of variance (PCV). It was revealed that PCV was higher than GCV. This result indicated less effect of environment on the expression of character studies. High amount of genotypic and phenotypic variation was observed for the characters such as biological yield per plant, Harvest index, number of grain per ear and productive tillers per …

Polyherbal Cookies For Diabetic Patients: Formulation and Evaluation
Abstract: In order to control their hunger and obtain some energy, most people eat cookies for breakfast, snacks, and at leisure. Refined flour, sugar, and butter are the major ingredients of the various types of cookies that are sold in stores. Because they raise blood sugar levels, obese and diabetic individuals typically avoid them. As a result, we have created Polyherbal cookies in this latest study utilizing oats, wheat flour, and …

Split Application of Lime on Acid Soil Amelioration and Bread Wheat Yield at Dember, SNNPR Ethiopia
Abstract: Soil acidity is one of the most important yield-limiting factors for crop production in highlands areas where areas receive heavy rainfall. Liming of acidic soils has been suggested as a good measure to boost crop productivity in acidic soils. However, lime is not free or easy to obtain, require a large quantity, and its transportation is also difficult. Thus, a field trial was carried out in permanent plots to investigate …

Heterosis in Plants
Abstract: It refers to hybrid vigor or heterosis; herein, the offspring expressed better traits than one or both parent lines. This most often manifests in crop breeding as increased yield in F1 hybrids compared with their parents. Developing high-yielding hybrid cultivars across a wider range of crops represents an important strategy for addressing future food security. However, conventional hybrid breeding approaches are fraught with significant challenges in many self-pollinating crops, such …
