Phytoprotectants, agronomic practices, biofertilizers, and modern biotechnological approaches are crucial for salinity stress management. Underground vegetables are the source of healthy carbohydrates, resistant starch, antioxidants, vitamins, mineral, and nutrients which benefit human health. Soil salinity is a serious threat to agriculture that severely affects the growth, development, and productivity of underground vegetable crops. Salt stress induces several morphological, anatomical, physiological, and biochemical changes in crop plants which include reduction in plant height, leaf area, and biomass. Also, salinity stress impedes the growth of the underground organs, which ultimately reduces crop yield. Moreover, salt stress is detrimental to photosynthesis, membrane integrity, nutrient balance, and leaf water content. Salt tolerance mechanisms involve a complex interplay of several genes, transcription factors, and proteins that are involved in the salinity tolerance mechanism in underground crops. Besides, a coordinated interaction between several phytoprotectants, phytohormones, antioxidants, and microbes is needed. So far, a comprehensive review of salinity tolerance responses and mechanisms in underground vegetables is not available. This review aims to provide a comprehensive view of salt stress effects on underground vegetable crops at different levels of biological organization and discuss the underlying salt tolerance mechanisms. Also, the role of multi-omics in dissecting gene and protein regulatory networks involved in salt tolerance mechanisms is highlighted, which can potentially help in breeding salt-tolerant underground vegetable crops.

This item is printed on demand Print on Demand Neuware As tomato is day neutral plant, many varieties are planted round the year. But there is a need to ascertain appropriate transplanting date to achieve higher quantitative and better qualitative yield. Temperature and light intensity play a vital role in tomato plants growth, fruit setting, number of seeds and thereby the shape of fruits. Historically, vegetable growers have employed plastic films for mulching to reduce the growth of weeds, soil erosion by wind and water, leaching of fertilizer and the development of plant pestdiseases coming from the soil. Plastic mulch directly affects the microclimate around the plant by modifying the radiation budget of the surface and decreasing the water loss. The decrease in soil water evaporation results in a more uniform soil moisture content and a reduction in the amount irrigation water, which is very important in summe...

The experimental material comprised eight genetically diverse parental lines and their 28 hybrids (excluding reciprocals). Significant standard heterosis and high per se performance with regards to green pod yield and its components were recorded by GC-0203 x Anand Cowpea-1 (21.72% and 111.17 g), Subhra x GC-4 (8.83% and 99.40 g), GC-0203 x GC-0502 (5.26% and 96.13 g) and GC-0502 x Pusa Komal (5.04% and 95.93 g) in positive direction.

Among the different dates of transplanting, early planting (5th November) recorded highest fruit yield and it was viceversa in case of late transplanting date (15th December). Moreover, seedlings of Gujarat Tomato–2 mulched with black polythene (50 micron) recorded higher number of fruits (29.92), fruit weight (43.57 g), total (45.26 t/ha) and marketable fruit yield (44.21 t/ha).

Combining ability analysis revealed that both additive as well as non-additive effects were important in the inheritance of all the traits studied. However, magnitude of general combining ability (gca) variances was smaller than the specific combining ability (sca) variances for all the traits indicating the preponderance of non-additive gene effects for all the characters. General combining ability effects revealed that the five parents viz., GC-0203, GC-0502, Subhra, GC-4 and Anand Cowpea- 1 were the good general combiners for green pod yield per plant which had also the good general combining ability effects for the yield attributes like pods per plant, seeds per pod and 100-seed weight. Specific combining ability revealed that three top yielding hybrids viz., GC-0203 x Anand Cowpea...

Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) popularly known as Ratalu and Khamalu and Chupri aloo in Hindi, ... more Greater yam (Dioscorea alata L.) popularly known as Ratalu and Khamalu and Chupri aloo in Hindi, is an important commercial vegetable crop grown throughout India. In India, greater yam is cultivated in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, West Bengal, Bihar, Odisha, North Eastern states, Uttar Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat and Maharashtra (Chadha, 2002). In Gujarat, it is cultivated in Valsad, Navsari, Dangs, Panchmahals, Surat and Tapi districts. The yam tubers are rich source of carbohydrates, proteins and amino acids. Normally tubers are consumed as boiled, baked or fried vegetables. It is also useful for making chips, flakes and flour. In southern Gujarat, greater yam is used to prepare certain dishes such as ‘Undhiyu’ and ‘Ubadiyu’ especially during winter season and for making delicious ‘Pakoras’ during marriage ceremony. Yam tubers contain small amount of sapogenins and alkaloids like diosgenin, which are used for preparing contraceptive drugs, for curing leprosy, piles, arth...

Consequences of climate change such as changes in mean climatic conditions, increasing extreme weather events, relentless increase in atmospheric CO 2 concentration and increasing pest damage pose serious threats to agricultural productivity. An experiment was planned to assess the response of yam bean to elevated CO 2 , as it is of paramount importance to identify photosynthetically efficient climatesmart crops and varieties to meet future food demand. The net photosynthetic rate (P n), stomatal conductance (g s) and intercellular CO 2 (C i) of yam bean variety, Rajendra Misrikand-1 was recorded under elevated carbon dioxide (400-1000 ppm) and photon flux density (PPFD; 50-2000 lmol m-2 h-1) at 30 ± 2°C, 70-80% relative humidity and 0.8-1.2 kPa vapour pressure deficit. The mean P n rate steadily increased at 200-1000 ppm owing to enhanced intercellular CO 2. The same trend was observed in the case of intercellular CO 2. However, contrasting results were recorded with regard to g s , which steadily decreased at ascending carbon dioxide concentrations. Further, P n had a significant (P \ 0.001) linear correlation with the PPFD (R 2 = 0.973). Yam bean was found to be responsive to elevated carbon dioxide as P n rate at 1000 ppm increased up to 23% relative to 400 ppm.

Evaluation for yield and yield contributing parameters of orange-fleshed sweetpotato genotypes in two environments. Nusantara Bioscience 9: 275-281. Orange-fleshed sweetpotatoe (OFSP) is one of the most important sources of betacaroten and carbohydrates. OFSP showed varying responses to different environments, depending on the adaptability of the genotypes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the correlation between yield and yield component of OFSP genotypes at two different agroclimatological environments (Mojokerto and Blitar) from May to September 2013. Twenty four OFSP genotypes (twenty two clones and two varieties as the check) were used in this study and arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replications. Results showed that responses of OFSP genotypes to the environments varied and genotypes had highly significantly affected all parameters. Based on the criteria of high yield, amylum content, and dry matter prod...

Among different dates of planting (5th November) recorded highest vegetative growth, yield attributes and total fruit yield; whereas it was vice-versa in case of 15th December planting. Among different mulch materials, black polythene showed significant effect on vegetative growth, yield and yield attributes. Marketable fruit yield (44.21 t/ha) was significantly higher in black polythene mulch compared to other mulch materials. Further, Nutrient status of soil after the harvest of crop was remarkably influenced. Higher values of available N (335 kg ha−1), P2O5(69 kg ha−1), K2O (353 kg ha−1) were noticed under the treatment of D1M1 (5th November and black polythene mulch). Further, the conjoint application of 5th November and black polythene mulch recorded the higher benefit: cost ratio of 2.05: 1.
