    Chromosomal location of non-hypersensitive leaf rust resistance genes in bread wheat cultivar PBW65 using microsatellite markers
    (2012) Khan, M.A.; Kamaluddin, Saini, R.G.
    Microsatellite or simple sequence repeat (SSRs) markers have been powerful tool for genetic mapping in wheat. Indian bread wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) cultivar PBW65 has shown significant level of resistance to most virulent race 77-5 of leaf rust (Puccinia triticina). It has been indicated that PBW65 expresses non-hypersensitive type of resistance against race 77-5. F2 and F3 crossing of PBW65 with WL711, a leaf rust susceptible wheat cultivar, and allelic tests with such already known genes (present in cultivars RL 6058 and HD 2009) revealed that cultivar PBW65 could be a potential source of novel nonhypersensitive leaf rust resistance genes. So far, only non-hypersensitive leaf rust resistance gene Lr34 was found to be effective under Indian conditions. Attempts to locate such durable leaf rust resistance genes in PBW65 through microsatellite markers showed 2B, 2D and 3D as critical chromosomes for PBW65. The primer Xgwm341 (3D) was found located 41.5 cM away from gene LrPBW1 in PBW65.

    Anthocyanins enriched purple tea exhibits antioxidant, immunostimulatory and anticancer activities
    (Springer India, 2017) Joshi, Robin; Rana, Ajay; Kumar, Vinay; Kumar, Dharmesh; Padwad, Yogendra S.; Yadav, Sudesh Kumar; Gulati, Ashu
    Purple coloured tea shoot clones have gained interest due to high content of anthocyanins in addition to catechins. Transcript expression of genes encoding anthocyanidin reductase (ANR), dihydroflavonol-4-reductase (DFR), anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), flavonol synthase (FLS) and leucoantho cyanidin reductase (LAR) enzymes in three new purple shoot tea clones compared with normal tea clone showed higher expression of CsDFR, CsANR, CsANS and lower expression of CsFLS and CsLAR in purple shoot clones compared to normal clone. Expression pattern supported high content of anthocyanins in purple tea. Four anthocyanins (AN1?4) were isolated and characterized by UPLC-ESI-QToF-MS/MS from IHBT 269 clone which recorded highest total anthocyanins content. Cyanidin-3-O-?-d-(6-(E)-coumaroyl) glucopyranoside (AN2) showed highest in vitro antioxidant activity (IC50?DPPH?=?25.27???0.02??g/mL and IC50?ABTS?=?10.71???0.01??g/mL). Anticancer and immunostimulatory activities of cyanidin-3-glucoside (AN1), cyanidin-3-O-?-d-(6-(E)-coumaroyl) glucopyranoside (AN2), delphinidin-3-O-?-d-(6-(E)-coumaroyl) glucopyranoside (AN3), cyanidin-3-O-(2-O-?-xylopyranosyl-6-O-acetyl)-?-glucopyranoside (AN4) and crude anthocyanin extract (AN5) showed high therapeutic perspective. Anthocyanins AN1?4 and crude extract AN5 showed cytotoxicity on C-6 cancer cells and high relative fluorescence units (RFU) at 200??g/mL suggesting promising apoptosis induction activity as well as influential immunostimulatory potential. Observations demonstrate potential of purple anthocyanins enriched tea clone for exploitation as a nutraceutical product. ? 2017, Association of Food Scientists & Technologists (India).
