It has shown yield superiority of 14.4% over the best check variety NI 5439 (18.7q/ha) during three years of testing under timely sown, rainfed conditions. The variety UAS 375 has shown resistance to prevalent pathotypes of stem and leaf rusts in the target environments and has combination of Lr13+1+ and Sr7b+2+ genes for diversified gene deployment against these rusts. It has better grain, product as well as nutritional quality parameters which makes it preferable variety for product developments. High yield potential of the variety UAS 375 under rainfed conditions coupled with disease resistance and quality traits makes it a suitable choice for the wheat growing farmers of the Peninsular India.","PeriodicalId":183623,"journal":{"name":"Wheat and Barley Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133645549","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For wheat seeding under CA after rice harvest with full residue retention, Turbo Happy Seeder (THS) was more appropriate, while in sugarcane ratoon with full trash, Rotary Disc Drill (RDD) was found suitable. Based on the research farm and farmer’s field experiments, the wheat grain yield was similar under conventional tillage (CT) and CA. Among 32 wheat varieties (28 aestivum and 4 durum) evaluated under timely sown conditions, no significant yield differences were observed under CT and CA. Among test cultivars, the best yielding were HD 2967, PBW 723, HDCSW 18, HI 8498, MPO 1215, UAS 428 and MACS 6222. Out these seven genotypes, three (HI 8498, MPO 1215 and UAS 428) were durum genotypes. For very late sown (20-25th January) and CA conditions after sugarcane harvest, five aestivum wheat varieties namely PBW 550, DBW 71, Raj 3765, WR 544 and WB 02 yielded 30.24, 33.80, 32.62, 32.46 and 27.54 q/ha, respectively. On an average, 31.8 q/ha additional wheat yield can be obtained when seeded in sugarcane ratoon using RDD. If we translate 50% sugarcane area across the wheat growing zone of India (1.0 mha) then we can have an additional wheat production of 3.2 mt/year. Both the crop establishment methods viz. no till (NT) with residue retention and conventional till (CT) wheat had similar yield levels but CA can have an additional profit of Rs 3125/ha due to reduction in tillage cost. The results clearly indicate that wheat productivity and production as well as profitability can be improved through right choice of cultivar, and seeding machinery for conservation agriculture in rice-wheat and sugarcane ratoon-wheat system.","PeriodicalId":183623,"journal":{"name":"Wheat and Barley Research","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129240472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although there is plenty of information available on role of rhizosphere microbiome for plant growth, but still there is dearth of knowledge for the vast majority of rhizosphere microorganisms. This is mainly due to their unknown growth requirements or inability to grow on any known growth media. To support plant growth under stress conditions, the information on presence of specific microorganism in rhizosphere microbiome along with the role it plays is very much essential. Here, we review the generalized role of plant microbiome in different plant functions, information generated till date specifically on wheat metagenomics, role of rhizosphere microorganisms in abiotic stress management in other crop plants and the breeding in wheat in light with wheat metagenomics or metagenome engineering through breeding.","PeriodicalId":183623,"journal":{"name":"Wheat and Barley Research","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133766420","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The growth parameters namely plant height, LAI, dry matter accumulation and CGR showed significant positive relationship with grain yield.

Results indicated that sprouted seed (5830 kg ha-1) and primed seed (5766 kg ha-1) produced significantly higher grain yield in comparison to un-primed seeds (5416 kg ha-1). The germination was quick in the primed and sprouted seeds relative to non-primed seeds resulting in a better crop establishment and higher yield under optimum, sub-optimum and dry soil conditions. Irrigation method treatments viz., check basin, drip, sprinkler and drip + rainport showed that the grain yield was highest in the drip + rainport. Water productivity was highest in drip method of irrigation (1.61 kg m-3) followed by drip + rainport method (1.60 kg m-3) with a maximum mean productivity of 5539 kg ha-1. Around 600 m3ha-1 has been saved using seed priming thus reducing the cultivation cost by Rs. 382/ha. Among the micro irrigation techniques, water saved was highest in drip followed by sprinkler and drip + rainport. The study suggests for adoption of drip and seed priming to take advantage of yield enhancement as well as cost reduction through reduced utilisation of water.","PeriodicalId":183623,"journal":{"name":"Wheat and Barley Research","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134216896","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The 1BL.1RS translocation derived wheat varieties carrying Yr9/Lr26/Sr31/Pm8 gene complex provided protection against losses due to leaf and stripe rusts in India till 1995. However, the evolution of pathotype (pt) 46S119 virulent to Yr9 and Yr2 resistance genes has changed the whole scenario (Nayar et al., 1996). After breakdown of Yr9 based resistance, some protection against stripe rust was rendered by “Attila” germplasm derived wheat varieties that had Yr27 effective against pt. 46S119, was succumbed with new variant 78S84 (Prashar et al., 2007). Recently five new highly virulent pathotypes of stripe rust viz., 46S117, 110S119, 238S119, 110S247 and 110S84 have been identified in India (Gangwar et al., 2015).

Joss-Cambier carrying Yr11 gene, also became susceptible to the new pts. 110S84 and 238S119 in addition to 46S119 pathotype (Bhardwaj et al. Pers. Comm).
