Deciphering the pathways for evaluation of nanofillers for polymer composites: biodegradability, sustainability, and emerging applications
No full textDue to their light weight, high specific strength, and low cost, polymer composite (PC) materials are used in a variety of industrial and home applications. An appropriate nanofiller can be used to improve the different performances of polymer composites. The present study gives an insight into the use of nanofillers in polymer composites, and their influence on the performance of polymer composites is summarized. The broad classification of processing routes of nanofiller and nanofiller-based polymer composites is also presented. As we are moving towards a greener society, the biodegradability of the polymer composites and their suitability along with the life cycle stages of PCs are also highlighted. Although nanofillers significantly improve the overall performance of biocomposites, excessive use of nanofillers is not recommended. The nanotoxicity associated with excessive use of nanofillers is addressed, and the emerging applications of nanofiller-based biocomposites are also discussed. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature
Regulation and Expression of Phytohormones for Root Architectural Trait Development in Rice: A Review
No full textThe root system architecture (RSA) in monocotyledonous plants like rice is consists of primary roots, lateral roots, seminal/crown roots, and root hairs. The soil nutrients also influence many physiological processes via various root parameters like root length, root diameter and root angle for growth and development. The variation in root system architecture in rice is influenced by the intrinsic factors (phytohormones, transcription factors) and extrinsic factors (light, temperature and moisture) and their collective effect. The phytohormones such as; auxin, cytokinin, abscisic acid and ethylene, and their mutual effects play vital role for root architectural trait development. Many genes/QTLs were identified in rice which are strong role player for root development. But the biochemical signaling pathways are not completely understood. The modern molecular tools like genome editing, sequencing and multi-omics (transcriptomics and proteomics) approaches and multi-disciplinary system biology studies can provide a better solution for this issue. To improve the sustainable food grain production under extreme environment, it is important to understand the physiological and biochemical mechanism of root development. Moreover, it is imperative to establish a resilient root system in rice cultivation in order to mitigate the overuse of chemical fertilizers, enhance nutrient efficiency, and improve climate resilience of the plant

Status of Genomic Research in Non-basmati Aromatic Joha Rice of Assam
No full textMany natively adapted, aromatic, and high-quality rice landraces can be found in NE India. Among the different classes of cultivated rice varieties, Assam has a distinctive scented rice variety known locally as \u27joha,\u27 which is particularly popular among the region\u27s farmers. The aroma of joha rice is also thought to differ markedly from that of basmati rice. Genotype stability can be established through genetic variation. Thus, new disease resistant joha rice varieties are necessary to meet both domestic and worldwide demand. There is a need for conservation of this traditional aromatic joha rice germplasm which could be used in the future breeding programme for multiple disease resistance and grain and aroma quality traits improvement. The recent advancements in marker and genomics assisted breeding coupled with high-throughput genotyping and phenotyping enable the discovery of novel alleles and gene targets for the implementation of sustainable rice cultivars with improved grain aroma quality
