Biotechnological Advances in Improving Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Jute (Corchorus spp.): Genomic and Functional Insights
Abstract: Jute (Corchoruscapsularis and C. olitorius) is an economically significant natural bast fiber crop, particularly in Bangladesh and South Asia that faces severe constraints from salinity and waterlogging due to climate change and coastal inundation. Despite its agricultural importance, jute has historically lacked genomic resources for molecular improvement. Recent release of high‑quality reference genomes, coupled with transcriptomics and functional genomics, has enabled identification of stress‑responsive genes and regulatory networks. This review …

Drought Tolerance in Pearl Millet- I
Abstract: Stress tolerance has long fascinated plant biologists as a challenge to understand the mechanism of plant survival under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Exposure of plants to abiotic stresses, such as high salinity, drought, extreme light and temperature leads to major loss in crop productivity. Pearl millet is one such crop that has been facing drought conditions and less productivity of the crop. This article is a short review on …

Response of Plants to Drought Stress: A Review
Abstract: Stress tolerance has long been fascinated plant biologists as a challenge to understand the mechanism of plant survival under biotic and abiotic stress conditions. Exposure to abiotic stresses such as high salinity, drought, extreme light and temperature of plants results in worldwide major loss in crop productivity. The main cause of crop loss worldwide is abiotic stresses, reducing average yield for most major crop plants by more than 50%. The …

Physiochemical Mechanism Associated with Drought Tolerance in Tomato
Abstract: Abiotic stresses are one of the key limitations to global crop production and food security. Among the abiotic stresses, drought is one of the most vital factors that cause changes in morphological, biochemical, and physiological characteristics in plants, and consequently affects the growth and productivity of crops. The main purpose of the present study was to evaluate the effect of drought on physiological traits (ratio of root/shoot length, leaf area …

THE REGULATORY ROLE OF SMALL RNAS IN PLANT DEVELOPMENT AND DEFENCE MECHANISM
Abstract: Small RNAs (sRNAs) are 20 to 40 nucleotides in length and plants use these regulatory RNAs to direct gene expression. In eukaryotes they act as a sequence-specific guide in several processes like assembly of heterochromatin, DNA elimination, mRNA cleavage and translational repression. Classes of sRNAs are categorized based on their origin and biogenesis. Out of all these, miRNAs and ta-siRNAs, constitute two important classes of endogenous small RNAs, are the …
