Pushpa Jharia # Breeding for Biotic Stress Resistance ppt.Pushpa Jharia
This document discusses breeding crops for resistance to biotic stresses like diseases and insects. It begins by defining biotic and abiotic stress and providing examples of common biotic stresses in plants from viruses, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and insects. It then covers topics like the genetic basis of resistance, types of resistance, mechanisms of insect resistance, sources of resistance, and methods for breeding for resistance. These methods include selection, introduction, hybridization, backcrossing, mutation breeding, and genetic engineering. The document concludes by discussing testing for disease resistance and achievements in developing resistant crop varieties through conventional and modern breeding approaches.
Herbicide tolerance plants are developed to control weeds that compete with crops for resources and can reduce crop yields by 20% annually. Weeds are typically controlled mechanically or through herbicides. Glyphosate is a commonly used broad-spectrum herbicide that acts by inhibiting the shikimate pathway enzyme EPSP synthase, preventing aromatic amino acid production. Transgenic plants are made tolerant to glyphosate by introducing the aroA gene to allow continued shikimate pathway function. Phosphinothricin resistance is conferred by the bar gene, which allows detoxification of the glutamine synthase inhibitor phosphinothricin. Bromoxynil tolerance results from the bxn gene introducing nitril
This document discusses insect resistance in sugarcane. It describes three main types of resistance: ecological, genetic, and physiological. The key mechanisms of resistance are antixenosis, antibiosis, and tolerance. Antixenosis deters insects through physical or chemical traits. Antibiosis negatively impacts insect biology through allelochemicals or growth inhibitors. Tolerance allows plants to grow despite insect damage. Both physical defenses like trichomes and waxes, and chemical defenses like secondary metabolites and phenolic compounds contribute to insect resistance in sugarcane.
The document discusses breeding for disease resistance in pearl millet. It covers four main fungal diseases that impact pearl millet production: downy mildew, ergot, smut, and rust. For downy mildew, it describes screening techniques, major resistance sources identified, and genetics of resistance, noting that resistance is governed by major genes following a gene-for-gene relationship between host and pathogen.
1. The seminar discusses developing transgenic plants resistant to insects through the transfer of resistance genes from microorganisms, higher plants, and animals into crop plants.
2. Major objectives of plant biotechnology are to develop plants resistant to biotic and abiotic stresses. Resistance to insects has been achieved by introducing genes encoding Bt toxins from Bacillus thuringiensis and other insecticidal proteins.
3. Useful genes have been isolated from microbes like B. thuringiensis, higher plants like beans and tobacco, and animals like mammals. These genes have been successfully used to engineer insect-resistant crops like cotton, potato, tomato, and tobacco.
Mutation breeding involves deliberately inducing mutations in plant varieties to generate genetic diversity for crop improvement. The document discusses the history, techniques, and achievements of mutation breeding. It describes how mutations can be induced using physical or chemical mutagens and the procedures for handling segregating populations. Mutation breeding has been used to develop improved varieties with traits like increased yield, abiotic/biotic stress resistance, and quality. India has released many successful mutant crop varieties, especially in rice and chickpeas, through research centers like IARI. While mutation breeding can lead to quick gains, it also has limitations like unpredictability and costs of screening large populations.
Fungal biocontrol agents like Trichoderma spp. can induce systemic resistance in plants against pathogens through several mechanisms. They compete with pathogens for space and nutrients, produce antibiotics, or act as mycoparasites against other fungi. Trichoderma elicits plant defenses by inducing the expression of pathogenesis-related proteins and antioxidant enzymes. Case studies showed Trichoderma reduced disease severity in cotton, barley, and maize by triggering the plants' terpenoid defenses or increasing their tolerance to salt and drought stress. Fungal biocontrol is an environmentally sustainable alternative to chemicals for managing plant diseases.
Insect resistance occurs when an insect population develops tolerance to a specific pesticide or group of pesticides with the same mode of action. There are several types of resistance including single, multiple, and cross resistance. Resistance can be monogenic, involving a single gene, or polygenic, involving multiple genes. The mechanisms of resistance include genetic factors, biological factors, physiological resistance, and behavioral resistance. Management of resistance involves integrated pest management strategies like crop rotation, use of biological controls, judicious use of pesticides, and insecticide rotation.
Invitro mutation selection for biotic stresses in Plantsamvannan
In-vitro selection is a somaclonal variation method that uses a selection agent or particular condition to select for somaclones with a desired character. Various mutagens like gamma irradiation, chemicals, and transposons can be used to induce mutations in vitro. Somatic embryogenesis is advantageous for in-vitro selection as it allows treatment of large populations and rapid generation of non-chimeric plants. Chemical mutagens are commonly used for in-vitro selection due to ease of handling. In-vitro selection has been used successfully to obtain disease resistance in various crop species like tobacco, rice, wheat, and potato.
Stress resistance in crops can be improved through conventional breeding approaches like selection, backcrossing, and shuttle breeding. New molecular breeding approaches like QTL mapping and marker-assisted selection allow for more precise introgression of stress resistance genes. QTLs controlling traits like submergence tolerance, salinity tolerance, and bacterial blight resistance have been identified in rice. Marker-assisted breeding has successfully transferred submergence tolerance and bacterial blight resistance into rice varieties. Similar efforts have mapped drought tolerance QTLs in wheat and introduced stress resistance genes into crops using molecular markers. These approaches help breed climate-resilient crop varieties faster than conventional breeding alone.

Integrated weed Management in pulses and oilseedsAbhishek Malpani
Integrated weed management in pulses and oilseeds aims to control weeds through a combination of cultural, physical, biological and chemical methods to maximize crop yields. Weeds compete with crops for water, nutrients and sunlight, reducing yields by up to 60%. The critical period of weed control varies by crop but typically falls between 15-60 days after sowing when weed removal has the greatest impact on minimizing yield losses. An integrated approach using herbicide application, crop rotation, and manual or mechanical removal can effectively control weed populations while limiting environmental and economic costs.
This document discusses glyphosate-resistant weeds in Ontario, including Canada fleabane, giant ragweed, common ragweed, and waterhemp. It provides details on the number of resistant species worldwide and in various regions. Resistance has developed through target-site and non-target site mechanisms. Controlling glyphosate-resistant Canada fleabane in corn and soybean requires multiple herbicide modes of action applied at the right time, as post-emergence herbicides provide inconsistent control. Tank mixes of herbicides are evaluated but variable control remains an issue.
This document discusses herbicide resistance issues affecting various weed species in western Victoria, Australia. Survey results from 2005-2014 show increasing resistance in ryegrass populations to multiple herbicide modes of action including trifluralin, Hoegrass, Glean and others.

Crop Management - Jim Reiss, Precision Lab - Tank Mixing for SuccessIAagribiz
This document discusses strategies for successful tank mixing of agricultural chemicals. Resistance to glyphosate has been growing, with over 7 million acres infested in 2010. Proper tank mixing is important to combat this resistance. The mixing order and use of compatibility agents can avoid problems. Following best practices like mixing in at least 15-20% of the final volume and adding products in a specific sequence can ensure mixtures stay combined. Maintaining the right pH and using water conditioners is also key to solubilizing products and avoiding issues.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.
How to Manage Your Lost Opportunities in Odoo 17 CRMCeline George
Odoo 17 CRM allows us to track why we lose sales opportunities with "Lost Reasons." This helps analyze our sales process and identify areas for improvement. Here's how to configure lost reasons in Odoo 17 CRM
How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17Celine George
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
