Understanding Genetics of Herbicide Resistance in Weeds: Implications for Weed Management
Herbicide-resistant weeds pose a serious threat to weed management across the globe. Weeds evolve resistance to herbicides as a result of herbicide selection pressure. Under continuous herbicide selection, the resistant individuals dominate in a population. Understanding the genetics of herbicide resistance will help assess freq.. Read More

Haploid Breeding in Palms-A Brief Review
Haploids are sporophytic plants with gametophytic chromosome number, and they originate from a single gamete. The chromosome number of haploid could be doubled spontaneously or artificially to obtain doubled haploids carrying two sets of chromosomes from a single parent (homozygous). The important use of haploids is based on the.. Read More

Genetic Divergence in Ethiopian Coriander (Coriandrum sativum l.) Accessions
Although Ethiopia is a center of diversity for many crops including Coriander little is known on the genetic divergence of this crop due to its negligence in the research program of the country in the past. The genetic divergence of 25 land races was assessed using principal component and cluster analysis based on 8 characters. .. Read More

About 15% of global agricultural lands are exposed to high salinity, resulting in low crop yields and reduced food supplies. Attempts to develop salinity tolerant crops via selection and breeding have not been sufficient. Bacterial mannitol-1-phophate Dehydrogenase (mtlD) has been known for its tolerance to salinity. Maize is th.. Read More

Chitin, a polymer of N-acetylglucosamine, is an important structural component in the cell walls of fungal pathogens. Plant chitinases are capable of degrading this component to directly inhibit infection by fungal pathogens. Plants can further detect the chitin fragments released by chitinases to trigger additional defense resp.. Read More
