“…Maximum genomic abundance and genomic distribution. There are few DNA markers which are useful in analysing and studying the genetic diversity studies which include SSR's, ISSR's , RAPD's etc., where the distribution of genomes is maximum for almost all the DNA markers where the genes are spread on the chromosomes within different gene clusters [69]. It was observed from table 8 that less quantity of DNA is needed for almost all the markers for analysis and also genome abundance is more for all the markers, whereas RAPD medium quantity of DNA is needed to understand the turmeric diversity studies [70].…”

Turmeric is highly tolerant to several climatic changes and can grow under high temperatures and moderate drought conditions. This herb is very much dependant on optimum rainfall, optimum heat with less chilling or freezing conditions. These conditions if are more than normal would tend to reduce the yields of the crops and also effect the productivity. To reduce such drastic yield losses certain conventional plant breeding methods were employed but were very less effective compared to plant biotechnology. To reduce these loses by stresses, extensive and effective molecular biology methods were employed which identifies the genes that are stress responsive along with certain methods like gene transfer, genetic engineering was also known to be effective. All these methods are quite helpful in mitigating the yield losses and promoting healthy growth in the plants. The maintenance of rhizome size, curcumin content, essential oils etc. is very much necessary for the turmeric crop because of its role, especially in the medical field. Therefore, the yield losses are reduced to a maximum extent so that development of smart turmeric is easy and crop designing is possible only with the advanced techniques involved in agriculture biotechnology.

“…The prolonged use of these pesticides and chemicals would effect the soil conditions and the crop growth. The availability of nutrients in the soil and the growth of useful microbes is gradually decreased due to harmful chemicals [32]. Along with the soil the crop draws all the chemicals present in the soils and have a negative effect on human health due to their hygroscopic nature i.e., pesticide content in the consumable part of the vegetable.…”

AMF (Arbuscular Mychorhizal Fungi) are very well known due to their importance in promoting growth and developments of plants especially vegetables. These fungi can be grown easily, stored and multiplied with simple means, also the application of these fungi is generally on the layer of the soil or near the roots in the inner layers of the soils. The growth of the amf fungi is very easy and they are highly adjustable to any soil and environmental conditions. In this review our main focus is on the use of amf for production of vegetables and also the effect of amf against insects and pests. The amf is known to reduce several symptoms caused by different insect pests and also plant diseases thereby promoting healthy growth of the plants. Also use of this amf will increase the uptake of nutrient from the soils through symbiotic relationships between plants and fungi. The uptake of important minerals which are drawn from deeper layers of soils is observed with the help pf amf. This study reveals the benefits of the use of amf under severe disease and pest incidences thereby known as an alternate for harmful chemical pesticides and fungicides.

“…Prior to the change in eating habits in India caused by the Green Revolution of 1951, millet, pseudocereals, barley and some aged cereals were incorporated in ancient cuisine which were cultivated in India. Declining availability of legumes and millet in general is primarily due to greater attention being paid to wheat and rice production (Sharma et al, 2020).…”

Despite having an impressive nutritional profile, millets are still used only by the traditional consumers and members of the economically underprivileged portions of society. In order to achieve nutritional security and battle emerging climate change and rise of chronic diseases, it is crucial to diversify food resources by including millets. The Department of Agriculture and Farmers welfare aims to encourage the use of millet across the entire world by promoting its large-scale production and consumption. Therefore, the United Nations had declared 2023 to be the "International Year of Millet" at the initiative of the Indian Government. Millets, by nature being gluten-free and protein packed with high amounts of amino acids and micronutrients like calcium and iron are an ideal option for developing new healthy products. The aim of this study was to develop a gluten-free ready to eat snack using multimillet flour prepared with a combination of millets (25% each of pearl millet, sorghum, foxtail millet and finger millet), standardize the recipe and undertake its nutritional and sensory evaluation. According to Food Safety and Standards Regulations, the prepared multimillet namakpara can be claimed to be rich in protein, as both the product and flour are high in protein, calcium, iron and are gluten free. Sensory evaluation of the multimillet namakpara showed that it is well accepted by the panel members. These findings highlight the potential of the multimillet namakpara, supported by positive consumer feedback and their nutritional value, offering promising growth opportunities in the snack market and is suitable for consumption by all age groups.
