Abstract Rice production and research have met unprecedented challenges in recent years. Yield and total production have plateaued for many years in some major producing rice‐producing countries while the demand from populations in poverty is ever increasing. For example, more than 100 million addit...

Crop productivity and stability of the food system are threatened by climate change, mainly through the effects of predicted abiotic stresses. Despite extensive research on abiotic stress tolerance in the past decades, the successful translation of these research to fields/farmers is scarce. The imp...

Crop domestication and thereafter gradual selection or directional breeding have narrowed the genetic diversity of elite varieties and even promoted gathering of deleterious mutations in their stress response mechanisms, whereas local ecotypes, landraces and wild relatives still growing on native en...

Karyotype analysis of 3 released varieties in Vigna radiata L. viz. Barimung-2, Barimung-3, Barimung-5 has been carried out after staining with orcein, CMA and DAPI. These varieties were found to possess 2n=22 chromosomes. Four terminal CMA-positive bands were found in Barimung-2, 3 such bands in Ba...

Recent advances in Biotechnology and its application could potentially have an enormous impact on society. Successful commercialization of products from Recombinant DNA technology, henceforth called Biotechnology, will depend on the nature of the technological advances, government regulations, and p...

Embracing micro-propagation method for large scale production of plantlets and also for protection of appropriate germplasm is a prerequisite that needs to be undertaken in order to develop a rapid in vitro regeneration protocol for Ocimum sanctum L. Shoot tips as well as nodal segments were subject...

Three morphological forms based on the leaf character of Lasia spinosa (L.) Thwaites viz. i) sagittate, ii) lamina dissected and iii) a mixed of sagittate and lamina dissected were cytogenetically investigated. The sagittate form had 2n=27. A minute subtelocentric chromosome was found in the sagitta...

Context: It is necessary to focus on the importance of adopting micropropagation technique for mass propagation of the plantlets in commercial scale as well as conservation and distribution of germplasm. Objective: The present investigation has been designed with a view to establishing protocol of i...

Background: In Bangladesh, a number of sex workers are involved in commercial sex work in different brothels in both legal and illegal settlements due to reasons such as lack of social support, depression, forced sex, abuse, violence, polyamory, being kidnapped, and unemployment. In this study, we t...

Many prominent darkly stained heterochromatic blocks were found in the interphase nuclei of Rauvolfia serpentina following orcein staining. The prophase chromosomes of this species became stained homogeneously throughout the entire length. This species was found to possess 2n = 20 metacentric chromo...

Crop domestication and subsequent breeding or directional selection have narrowed the genetic diversity of elite varieties whereas land races, ecotypes, wild relatives growing on native preferences still keep genetic diversities of stress tolerances. Rayada is such an exceptional ecotype, variant of...
