Rust Resistance in Hexaploid Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. em Thell)
Abstract: Wheat (Triticum aestivum L. Em Thell) is the ‘golden grain’ of the cereals and plays a vital role in the contribution of global food. Wheat yield in India grew at a rate of 3.5% during 1940–82 and had a sudden decline during the next two decades to 2.9%. This decline can be attributed due to: (1) lack of improvement in the genetic yield potential, and (2) susceptibility to diseases. The …

Enhanced Biodiesel Production Via Encapsulation of Yeast Cells in Biocompatible Polymers
Abstract: Yeast-based biodiesel production offers a sustainable alternative to conventional fossil fuels. However, factors like harsh environmental conditions and shear stress during processing can limit yeast cell viability and overall biodiesel yield. This study explores the potential of encapsulation technology using biocompatible polymers to improve yeast performance in biodiesel production. Encapsulation can create a protective barrier for yeast cells, shielding them from harsh environments and shear stress during processing. This protection …
