Varietal development and rice yield growth in India: assessing IRRI’s germplasm contribution

This study analyzed the contribution of International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) improved germplasm to rice varietal development and yield growth in India. Out of the total of 1436 released high-yielding varieties (HYVs) of rice, 769 (53%) were developed using IRRI improved g...

Harnessing microRNA regulatory networks for engineering climate resilience and nutritional enhancement in millets

Millets are increasingly promoted as climate-resilient nutri-cereals that can stabilize production and support nutritious diets under drought, heat, salinity, and low-input farming. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) provide a powerful post-transcriptional regulatory layer that regulates stress...
