Pollinate: Sharing is caring
The process of transfer of pollen started around 130 to 150 million years ago. In general, it is the way of plant to continue its generation in ages.
Tissue Culture Lab Maintenance
The first and foremost rule is to build up or construct a well-organized lab. For this, some rules must be maintained very strictly.
Public Policy backed Seed Potato Innovations
In Bangladesh most of the potatoes have relatively lower dry matter (e.g., 18-19% for the popular Diamant variety). Moreover, the most popular varieties in Bangladesh are susceptible to diseases like late blight, scab and potato viruses which results in increased production cost.
Screening of Potato Varieties for the Detection of Early – Maturity Traits and QTL analysis in Tetraploid Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.)
Potato (Solanum tuberosum L.) is the fourth most consumed crop worldwide and is an important industrial raw material. Potato cultivars are classified as early-, mid- or late-maturing, based on their maturity period. Early-maturing varieties complete their life cycle in 60 -70 days and 85-95 days in case of mid- and late-maturing varieties, respectively. Earliness gives the opportunity to catch the market value and grab the high rates of potatoes
