AB  - Global mean temperature is increasing at a rapid pace due to the rapid emission of greenhouse gases majorly from anthropogenic practices and predicted to rise up to 1.5˚C above the pre-industrial level by the year 2050. The warming climate is affecting global crop production by altering biochemical, physiological, and metabolic processes resulting in poor growth, development, and reduced yield. Maize is susceptible to heat stress, particularly at the reproductive and early grain filling stages. Interestingly, heat stress impact on crops is closely regulated by associated environmental covariables such as humidity, vapor pressure deficit, soil moisture content, and solar radiation. Therefore, heat stress tolerance is considered as a complex trait, which requires multiple levels of regulations in plants. Exploring genetic diversity from landraces and wild accessions of maize is a promising approach to identify novel donors, traits, quantitative trait loci (QTLs), and genes, which can be introgressed into the elite cultivars. Indeed, genome wide association studies (GWAS) for mining of potential QTL(s) and dominant gene(s) is a major route of crop improvement. Conversely, mutation breeding is being utilized for generating variation in existing populations with narrow genetic background. Besides breeding approaches, augmented production of heat shock factors (HSFs) and heat shock proteins (HSPs) have been reported in transgenic maize to provide heat stress tolerance. Recent advancements in molecular techniques including clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) would expedite the process for developing thermotolerant maize genotypes.

AB  - Fusarium wilt (FW) caused by the Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. ciceri is a devastating disease of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.). To identify promising resistant genotypes and genomic loci for FW resistance, a core set of 179 genotypes of chickpea was tested for FW reactions at seedling and reproductive stages under field as well as controlled conditions in the greenhouse. Our results revealed that at seedling stage, most of the genotypes were found resistant whereas, at the reproductive stage majority of the genotypes were found susceptible. Genotyping using a 50K Axiom®Cicer SNP Array and trait data of FW together led to the identification of 26 significant (p≤E-05) marker-trait associations (MTAs) for FW resistance. Among 26 MTAs, 12 were identified using trait data recorded in the field (3 at seedling and 9 at reproductive stage) and 14 MTAs were identified using trait data recorded under controlled conditions in the greenhouse (6 at seedling and 8 at reproductive stage). The phenotypic variation explained by these MTAs varied from 11.75 to 15.86% with an average of 13.77%. Five MTAs were classified as major, explaining more than 15% phenotypic variation for FW and two MTAs were declared stable, being identified in either two environments or at two growth stages. One of the promising stable and major MTAs (Affx_123280060) detected in field conditions at reproductive stage was also detected in greenhouse conditions at seedling and reproductive stages. The stable and major (>15% PVE) MTAs can be used in chickpea breeding programmes.

AB  - Pigeonpea (Cajanus cajan) is one of the most important legume crops grown in arid and semi-arid regions of the world. It is characterized with few unique features compared with other legume species, such as Lotus, Medicago, and Glycine. One of them is growth habit, an important agronomic trait. In the present study, identifcation of mutations affecting growth habit accompanied by a precise analysis of phenotype has been done which will shed more light upon developmental regulation in pigeonpea. A genetic study was conducted to examine the inheritance of growth habit and a genotyping by sequencing (GBS)-based genetic map constructed using F2 mapping population derived from crossing parents ICP 5529 and ICP 11605. Inheritance studies clearly demonstrated the dominance of indeterminate (IDT) growth habit over determinate (DT) growth habit in F2 and F2:3 progenies.
