    Methodology: The research databases Scopus, JSTOR, Web of Science, EBSCO, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Academic Search were searched using relevant research queries.
    Result: Out of 2,345 hits, 99 articles pertinent to the subject domain showed that underutilized crops are nutritionally superior, contain health-promoting bioactive components, and are more climate resilient than cereal crops. However, several constraints hinder the efficient utilization of these crops.
    Discussion: Despite underutilized crops' many health benefits, improved cultivation techniques for the large-scale production of these crops are still in their infancy. Most of the time, however, the scientific knowledge gleaned from various study domains stays within the scientific community. The most crucial need of the hour, therefore, is an efficient network structure connecting governments, farmers, researchers, and people in business. Moreover, care must be taken to ensure that the policies of governments and INGOs/NGOs are properly implemented within a NUCS framework.

    Abstract Aluminium (Al) is the third most abundant element in the Earth's crust. Globally, acidic soil occupies 30-40% of ice-free land areas; Al toxicity is a major threat to crops. The first symptom of Al toxicity is the inhibition of root growth followed by poor root hair development, swollen root apices, necrosis of leaves and reduced yield. Although Rice (Oryza sativa) is an Al toxicity tolerant crop, it shows considerable variations among rice genotypes to Al exposure. Therefore, it is pertinent to understand Al toxicity and underlying mechanisms for Al tolerance in Rice. In the present study, 63 rice genotypes screened under Al stress showed significant variations of root growth. Expression stability of endogenous control genes (ECGs) revealed sulphite reductase (SR) as the most stable ECG that can be used as a reference gene for quantitative real-time PCR (qRT-PCR). Expression patterns of Al-responsive genes suggest genes associated with cytoskeletal dynamics, metabolism, and ion transporter could play significant roles in Al adaptation and tolerance in rice. The results showed Motodhan, Vietnam-1, Yimyu and N-861 as Al-toxicity tolerant, while Lespah, RCPL-13, VL-31329, and UPR2919-141-1 as most Al-sensitive genotypes among the studied rice lines cultivated in North-East India.

    Abstract Seasonal variations in rainfall patterns, particularly during sowing, early growing season, and flowering, drastically affect rice production in northeastern India. However, sensitivity to drought stress is genotype-specific. Since 80% of the land in this region is used for rice production, it is crucial to understand how they have adapted to water stress. This study evaluated 112 rice genotypes grown in NE India for seed germination percentage and seedling development under PEG-mediated drought stress. Among the rice genotype, Sahbhagi dhan, RCPL-1-82, Bhalum-3 and RCPL-1-128 showed drought-tolerant traits, while Ketaki Joha, Chakhao, Chandan, RCPL-1-185 and IR-64 were the most drought-sensitive rice genotypes. Drought-tolerant rice also showed significantly higher seed germination potential, proline content, antioxidant activity and expression of drought-responsive genes than drought-sensitive rice genotypes. A similar expression pattern of genes was also observed in the rice genotype treated with a 50% water deficit in pot culture. In addition, drought stress reduced the pollen fertility and yield per plant in sensitive rice genotypes. Molecular markers associated with drought stress were also used to characterize genetic diversity among the rice genotypes studied.

    Abstract Observations of red pumpkin beetle were recorded from five randomly selected plants from each replication at weekly basis after emergence of seedlings whereas fruit flies infestation was recorded during harvesting at weekly interval. Results revealed that population of red pumpkin beetle ranged from 0.50 to 4.83 beetles/plant with peak population of 4.83 beetles/plant on 20ᵗʰ SMW in 2019 and 4.50 beetles/plant on 31ˢᵗ SMW in 2020. Fruit infestation reached its peak on 33ʳᵈ SMW with 77.78 and 71.43% fruit damage during 2019 and 2020, respectively. Temperature had positive influence whereas relative humidity and rainfall had negative influence on pest population. It was also observed that fruit infestation of bottle gourd was maximum during the month of August.

    Abstract North-Eastern India is blessed with a vast diversity of rice genotypes with varying yielding abilities. However, the predominant strong soil acidity induced nutrient stresses from the toxicity of aluminum (Al³⁺) ions often causes sub-optimal rice productivity. The lack of suitable nutrient media for the screening of aluminum (Al) toxicity tolerance of rice genotypes is one of the limiting factors in Al tolerant varieties' development. Modified Magnavaca's solution has been the most recommended nutrient solution for this purpose where ammonium nitrate is the primary nitrogen source. However, strict regulations related to the handling and storage of ammonium nitrate in India limit the preparation of Modified Magnavaca’s solution for laboratory use. Here, a modified ammonium nitrate-free formulation based upon the Magnavaca's solution has been proposed. The modified formulation was found to have 160.9 µM of active Al³⁺ concentration when 550 µM of aluminum chloride hexahydrate (AlCl₃.6H₂O) was added at pH 4.1 to the solution. Through a plant growth screening experiment using ten diverse rice genotypes a significant difference in the response of various genotypes to differential Al toxicity levels on root growth performance indicators was observed. Based on the response, we could able to categorize the genotypes into tolerant and sensitive in relative terms. Thus, the present experiment provided an important nutrient formulation suitable for screening rice genotypes under Al toxicity conditions. Moreover, the selected tolerant and sensitive genotypes can further pave the way for studying the molecular mechanism of Al toxicity response in rice and their use in the breeding program.

    Abstract Context Crop production in Eastern Himalaya is constrained by combined effects of soil acidity and moisture deficit during post monsoon under a changing climate. Aim This study aimed to identify potential buckwheat genotypes and stress mechanisms in hill environments of Meghalaya (India). Method Field and microcosm experiments were conducted to study field performance, genotypic variability and physio-morphological efficiency in buckwheat. Key results Substantial genetic variability for shoot length (30.3–110cm), crop canopy distribution (3.0–7.5 number of primary branches), leaf area retention (15.7–60.2cm2 /two leaves), 1000 seed weight (16.2–34.7g) and seed yield (0.088–1.31metric tonne (MT)/ha) was observed. Mean grain yield of buckwheat genotypes was 0.446MT/ha whereas IC13411, IC24298 and IC37305 produced significantly higher seed yield (1.31, 1.28 and 1.14MT/ha, respectively) accounting to 1.93, 1.87 and 1.67times higher than average yield (0.680MT/ha). Genotypes like IC42416, EC323730 and EC218784 have lower crop yields (0.8, 1.02, 0.93MT/ha respectively). Interestingly, few high yielders (IC13411 and IC24298) exhibited higher photosynthetic rate (46.1 and 32.3μmol/m2 .s), increased stomatal conductance (311.0 and 326.2mmol/m2 .s), leaf chlorophyll (2.47 and 2.55mg/g fresh weight (FW)) and carotenoids (95 and 106.3μg/g FW). Chlorophyll a and b ratio (3.3 and 3.0) and total chlorophyll to carotenoids (4.2 and 4.0) were higher in high yielders (IC13411 and IC24298) compared to other low yielders. Conclusions Robust root systems, stomatal structure and higher cuticle wax ideally enhanced water use efficiency (WUE) and drought tolerance in high-yielding buckwheat genotypes. Implications IC13411 and IC24298 are promising for enhanced productivity in the mountainous ecosystem of Meghalaya.

    Abstract Submergence tolerance is an important trait where short term flash flooding damages rice. Tolerant landraces that withstand submergence for 1–2 weeks were identified. Due to the heterogeneity in flood-prone ecosystem many different types of traditional rice cultivars are being grown by the farmers. The local landraces adapted to extremes in water availability could be the sources of genetic variation are to be used to improve the adaptability of rice to excess water stress. Greater genotypic variability was observed for plant height, elongation and survival %, absolute growth rate, non-structural carbohydrate retention capacity, chlorophyll content, different chlorophyll fluorescence parameters (FPs) characteristics, and re-generation growth at re-emergence. Twenty days submergence caused greater damage even in Submergence 1 (SUB1) introgressed cultivars compared to the 14 days of submergence. The FPs, carbohydrate content and dry weight at the end of submergence showed positive and highly significant association with re-generation growth. The presence of SUB1 associated primers, either SC3 or ART5, was noticed even in greater elongating types of rice genotypes. These genotypes possess one or more of the adaptive traits required for the flood-prone ecosystem, which range from temporary submergence of 1–2 weeks to long period of stagnant water tolerance.

    Abstract Plant viruses pose a serious threat to agricultural production systems worldwide. The world's population is expected to reach the 10-billion mark by 2057. Under the scenario of declining cultivable land and challenges posed by rapidly emerging and re-emerging plant pathogens, conventional strategies could not accomplish the target of keeping pace with increasing global food demand. Gene-editing techniques have recently come up as promising options to enable precise changes in genomes with greater efficiency to achieve the target of higher crop productivity. Of genome engineering tools, clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated (Cas) proteins have gained much popularity, owing to their simplicity, reproducibility, and applicability in a wide range of species. Also, the application of different Cas proteins, such as Cas12a, Cas13a, and Cas9 nucleases, has enabled the development of more robust strategies for the engineering of antiviral mechanisms in many plant species. Recent studies have revealed the use of various CRISPR-Cas systems to either directly target a viral gene or modify a host genome to develop viral resistance in plants. This review provides a comprehensive record of the use of the CRISPR-Cas system in the development of antiviral resistance in plants and discusses its applications in the overall enhancement of productivity and nutritional landscape of cultivated plant species. Furthermore, the utility of this technique for the detection of various plant viruses could enable affordable and precise in-field or on-site detection. The futuristic potential of CRISPR-Cas technologies and possible challenges with their use and application are highlighted. Finally, the future of CRISPR-Cas in sustainable management of viral diseases, and its practical utility and regulatory guidelines in different parts of the globe are discussed systematically.
