The legume family includes approximately 19,300 species across three large subfamilies, of which Papilionoideae stands out with 13,800 species. Lentils were one the first crops to be domesticated by humans, 11,000 BP. They are diploid legumes that belong Papilionoidea subfamily and agricultural importance because their resistance drought fact they grow in soil a pH range 5.5–9; therefore, cultivated various types soil, so have an important role sustainable food feed systems many countries. In addition importance, lentils rich source protein, carbohydrates, fiber, vitamins, minerals. key human nutrition since alternative animal proteins, decreasing meat consumption. Another characteristic legumes, including lentils, is ability form nodules, gives them growth advantage nitrogen-deficient soils enable plant fix atmospheric nitrogen, thus contributing nitrogen facilitating other plants during intercropping. also been applied for protection against diseases, as well phytoremediation, environmental bioindicators identify cytotoxicity.

Grain legumes play a crucial role in human nutrition and as staple crop for low-income farmers developing underdeveloped nations, contributing to overall food security agroecosystem services. Viral diseases are major biotic stresses that severely challenge global grain legume production. In this review, we discuss how exploring naturally resistant genotypes within germplasm, landraces, wild relatives could be used promising, economically viable, eco-environmentally friendly solution reduce yield losses. Studies based on Mendelian classical genetics have enhanced our understanding of key genetic determinants govern resistance various viral legumes. Recent advances molecular marker technology genomic resources enabled us identify regions controlling disease using techniques such QTL mapping, genome-wide association studies, whole-genome resequencing, pangenome ‘omics’ approaches. These comprehensive expedited the adoption genomics-assisted breeding virus-resistant Concurrently, progress functional genomics, especially transcriptomics, has helped unravel underlying candidate gene(s) their roles This review also examines engineering-based strategies, including RNA interference, potential synthetic biology techniques, promoters transcription factors, creating viral-resistant It elaborates prospects limitations cutting-edge technologies emerging biotechnological tools (e.g., selection, rapid generation advances, CRISPR/Cas9-based genome editing tool) virus-disease-resistant ensure security.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of Subtilisin-like Serine protease encoding genes in Vigna radiata L. Wilczek

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: April 17, 2025

Subtilisin-like serine proteases (SBTs) are proteolytic enzymes that play various roles in plant growth, function and stress responses. Vigna glabrescens, a wild relative of mungbean known to be potential donor photo- thermoperiod insensitivity, was characterized for thermotolerance through reproductive biology gene expression profiling. Whole-genome sequencing this species has not yet been performed; hence, genome-wide analysis explored. In the present study, systematic SBT-encoding genes V. radiata (Vradi_SBT) genome conducted, with focus on their response during flower development under different temperature regimes, such as optimum temperature, heat cold stresses, relative, glabrescens. Thirty-eight Vradi_SBT were identified further grouped into five distinct subgroups. The key domain SBT peptidase, "peptidase_S8_53," found all 38 proteins, while 28 them contained "peptidase_S8" domain. Additionally, 30 these proteins maximum 10 motifs. A total 22 orthologous Arabidopsis thaliana, whereas paralogous pairs detected tandemly duplicated unguiculata. Cis-acting element revealed presented more stress-responsive promoter sequences than other promoters. Furthermore, Vradi_SBT-1.9 significantly upregulated both high- low-temperature stresses. This study provides insights possible role species.

Agronomy Journal, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 116(3), P. 1290 - 1301

Published: April 26, 2024

Abstract Multi‐parent advanced generation inter‐cross (MAGIC) populations have been developed and utilized in crop improvement programs several economically important crops. In the current study, soybean ( Glycine max L.) MAGIC population was evaluated at four locations to identify stable high‐yielding RILs (recombinant inbred lines) understand genotype environmental interaction for grain yield attributing traits. For different traits under pooled analysis of variance indicated significant × interactions p < 0.01. such as G236, G455, G159, G493, G488 found ideal across environments. Through multi‐trait genotype‐ideotype distance index ideotype‐MAGIC identified each location. Significant positive correlation with pods per plant, 100‐seed weight, plant height, number nodes branches has identified. Under field conditions, screening F 2:3 revealed that only 59 progenies exhibited adult resistance charcoal rot disease (caused by Macrophomina phaseolina ). Although controlled conditions parental genotypes EC 572136 572109 be partially resistant least mean necrosis length, (F 2:8 ) showed variable reaction. Thus, study established diverse genetic resources useful both mapping varietal development program.

To address gap, our study aims comprehensively assess variability associations 158 lentil accessions. present study, we observed significant variations days 50% (67–90 days), maturity (109–122 days) 100 seed weight (1.69–2.68 g) throughout period two consecutive years (2020–2021 2021–2022). The these traits offers valuable avenue improvement through targeted selection hybridization. Additionally, correlation analysis showed negative between grain per plant, while plant height had P < 0.01) positive with all except plant. Furthermore, identified specific germplasm exceptional that hold potential future breeding programmes. genotypes EC 223197-A 267696 were high yield, other various would serve as material introgression into elite cultivars.
