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.
