Study Notes
Biotechnological Approaches
- Biotechnological approaches can improve the nutritional quality and shelf life of fruits and vegetables.
Drought Tolerance
- Osmotic adjustment is a way to achieve drought tolerance in plants.
- Discovering climate-resilient germplasm using representative subsets is a method to improve drought tolerance.
Multiple Stress Tolerance
- Some lines of crops have shown resistance to multiple stresses, including:
- Drought
- Salinity
- Heat
- Fusarium wilt
- Legume pod borer
- Examples of accessions with multiple resistance traits include:
- ICC 6874 (drought, salinity, heat, fusarium wilt, legume pod borer)
- ICC 14 402 (drought, salinity, heat, fusarium wilt, legume pod borer)
- ICC 2580 (drought, salinity)
Food Security
- Biotechnological approaches can help reduce post-harvest losses in fruits and vegetables, ensuring food security.
