Tomato is one of the important vegetable crops being cultivated throughout India. Rapid deterioration of stored vegetable seeds is a serious problem which occurs at an increasing rate in uncontrolled storage environment. The present study was aimed at investigating the effects of zinc oxide nanoparticles (nano-ZnO) on tomato seeds during aging. The experimental treatments included four concentrations of nano sized ZnO (400, 600, 800, and 1000 mg/kg), and control (without any ZnO ) on fresh and aged seeds. Results indicated that the highest and the lowest vigour index (1986 vs. 1521) were obtained in 600mg concentration of nano sized ZnO and control treatments,, respectively in fresh seeds. During aging, vigour index was maintained significantly as 995 with 600mg nano sized ZnO treated seeds when compared with control (495). This study shows that employing ZnO nanoparticles could reduce tomato seed deterioration during aging and promote the seed germination.Keywords

An experiment was conducted to examine the magnitude of genetic diversity and characters contributing to genetic diversity among 35 core elite wheat germplasm from INDIA and CIMMYT under water deficit condition. Principal components (PC) analysis showed that three components explained 67.73 per cent of the total variation among traits. The first PC contribute 38.8 per cent, second PC contribute 17.17 per cent and third PC contribute 11.66 per cent of total variation between traits. The first PC was more related to LSR, DSI, SCMR, RWC, ear weight per plant, harvest index and grain yield. The second PC was more related to plant height, LSR, tillers per plant, biological yield, thousand kernel weight and RWC. Therefore, selection based on first component is helpful for a good hybridization breeding program. Genetic divergence was carried out and grouped genotypes into six genetically distinct clusters. Cluster II genotypes viz., CHIRYA7, HW2041 and PBW502 shows superiority for functional stay green trait by exhibiting low cluster mean for leaf and DSI, and high cluster mean for SCMR, photosynthetic rate, RWC, tillers per plant, ear weight, 1000 kernel weight, biological yield, harvest Index, grain yield per plant and in contrast Cluster IV genotypes are non-stay green and drought susceptible by exhibiting high cluster mean for LSR and DSI. A three dimensional (3D Plot) depicts maximum genetic divergence between HW2041 and CBW38 and CHIRYA7 and HW2033. Stay green trait and all yield attributing traits except plant height can be improved by intermating HW2041 with CBW38 and CHIRYA7 with HW2033 genotypes which result in a highly heterotic hybrid for these traits under water deficit stress in wheat.Keywords
