He completed his PhD from Iowa State University, with postdoctoral studies from Max-Planck Institute (Germany), and worked as a scientist in Plant Research International (Netherlands) and Virginia Tech before joining the University of Arkansas in 2011. He has published more than 100 publications in the fields of insertional mutagenesis, Arabidopsis and rice functional genomics, systems biology studies of drought stress in interaction with basic biological processes.</p> <h5>Abstract:</h5> <p>To dissect the complex interaction between plant productivity and abiotic stress factors, rice gene regulatory networks were developed to identify associations between transcription factors (TFs) and essential biological processes/pathways perturbed under abiotic stress. The TF HYR (Higher Yield Rice) was found positively associated with photosynthetic carbohydrate metabolism (PCM) and other key processes affected by environmental stress. Overexpression of HYR in rice enhanced photosynthesis and yield components, with higher grain yield under control conditions and drought or high night temperatures at critical reproductive stages.rnChIP and gene expression analysis of HYR rice revealed a network of genes in the HYR regulated pathway determining productivity traits, supporting a role for HYR as a key regulator of genes involved in plant growth and grain yield under environmental stress. In other studies of stress responsive regulatory genes using knockout mutants, morpho-physiological analysis revealed a class of mutants compromised in growth under drought (GUD), showing reduction in yield under stress conditions and underlying networks of genes involved in PCM. To characterize the natural variation for drought response and grain yield in rice, a diverse population of ricerngenotypes were analyzed for their differential physiological and transcriptome responses to drought. Integration of the transcriptomerndata from mutants and overexpression lines of drought tolerance genes, as well as the diverse drought tolerant rice genotypes, is beingrnused to construct integrated regulatory networks to identify regulatory networks determining yield and stress tolerance in rice.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section class="col-md-12 content-box-dotted"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout"> <h4>Keynote Forum</h4> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/shubhash-deokule-savitribai-phule-pune-university-india" >Shubhash Deokule</a></h4> <p>Savitribai Phule Pune University, India</p> <h6>Keynote: <a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/new-horizon-in-plant-science" >New horizon in plant science</a></h6> <p>Time : <b>10:10-10:50</b></p> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/speaker-photo/Plant-Physiology-2016-Shubhash-Deokule-2601.JPG" alt="Conference Series Plant Physiology 2016 International Conference Keynote Speaker Shubhash Deokule photo" title="Shubhash Deokule" class="img-responsive thumbnail pull-left"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p>S S Deokule has completed his PhD in 1989 from Pune University.

He has received many prestigious awards at national and international level with gold medals. His area of research interest is mainly in Pharmacognosy, Ethno-Botany, Ethno-Pharmacognosy, Ethno-Pharmacology, Medicinal Plant Tissue culture and Biodiversity.</p> <h5>Abstract:</h5> <p>We have a 3000 year old story in our country: Charaka the ancient physician was asked by his teachers to get him a plant that wasrnquiet useless, he returned empty- handed saying that there was no such plant. It is, therefore, in our own interest to conservernour plant as also animal as well as micro organism wealth. There is growing realization throughout the world about the urgent needrnto conserve the biological diversity.rnWe need to conserve plant species because of human – dependence on them for many different uses and indeed for our survival.rnPlants provide our basic food crops, building materials and medicines as well as oils, lubricants, rubber and other latexes, resins,rnwaxes, perfumes, dyes and fibers. There are over 84.3 million tribals, belonging to diverse ethnic groups. As per the classificationrnmade by anthropologists on linguistic basis there are 550 communities of 227 ethnic groups are inhabited in various parts of India.rnThe tribal people of India mostly live in the forests, hills, plateaus and naturally isolated regions. They are playing most important rolernin conservation.rn21st century is the century of Biology powered and propelled by scientific knowledge and technological expertise.

Exposure tornthese mycotoxins is mostly by ingestion but also occurs by the dermal and inhalation routes. The susceptibility of individuals tornmycotoxins varies considerably depending on species, age, sex and nutrition. Acute mycotoxicoses can cause serious and sometimesrnfatal diseases also. The possibility of mycotoxin intoxication should be considered when a sudden acute disease occurs in a largernpopulation when there is no evidence of infection with a known etiological agent and there is no improvement in the clinical picturernfollowing treatment. The global nature of the mycotoxin problem is based on well-documented human mycotoxicoses such asrnergotism in Europe, alimentary toxic aleukia in Russia, acute aflatoxicoses in South and East Asia and human primary liver cancerrnin Africa and South East Asia. Ochratoxin A is suspected to play a role in Balkan endemic nephropathy in Yugoslavia and chronicrninterstitial nephritis in North Africa. The present paper reviews the disease outbreaks of aflatoxicoses in developing countries with anrnemphasis on Indian cases, due to the ingestion of contaminated food and feed with aflatoxins</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="well well-sm col-md-12 content-box-dotted"> <div class="content-box tracks" style="clear:both"> <ul class="list-group show"> <li class="list-group-item">Plant Ecology & Agro- diversity</li> </ul> </div> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-12"> <h4>Session Introduction</h4> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/mbagwu-ferdinand-imo-state-university-nigeria" >Mbagwu Ferdinand</a></h4> <p>Imo State University, Nigeria</p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/stem-anatomy-of-three-chrysophylum-species-sapotaceae-and-their-relevance-for-taxonomy-systematic-botany" >STEM ANATOMY OF THREE CHRYSOPHYLUM SPECIES (SAPOTACEAE) AND THEIR RELEVANCE FOR TAXONOMY (SYSTEMATIC BOTANY).</a> </h6> </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/speaker-photo/Plant-Physiology-2016-Mbagwu-Ferdinand-38566.jpg" alt="Speaker" title="Mbagwu Ferdinand" class="img-responsive thumbnail pull-left"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p>Dr Ferdinand Nkem Mbagwu was born to the family of Chief and Mrs Peter Ejiogu of Ndiokwu village in Ibele authonomous community in Njaba Local Government Area of Imo State Nigeria in the year 1969.

Linn. and C. subnudum. Barker wereinvestigated using standard anatomical techniques with slight modification. The outcome of the result showed numerous vesssels in C. cainito but few in C. albidum and C. subnudum. The number of rays are multiseriate in C. albidum and C. canitio but uniseriate in C. subnudum. The shapes of vessels ranged from oval to circular in C. albidum but circular to rectangular in C. cainito and C. subnudum. There is presence of pith and sclerenchyma cells in all the three species investigated. The results clearly distinguishe C. albidum from C. subnudum hence the difference showed reason for each to exsist as a distinct specie whereas the similarities showed reasons for them to be placed under the same genus Chrysophyllum.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-12"> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/ogbuehi-hyginus-chikaodi-imo-state-university-nigeria" >Ogbuehi Hyginus chikaodi</a></h4> <p>IMO STATE UNIVERSITY, Nigeria</p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/effects-of-ginger-extracts-on-shelf-life-of-egg-plant-solanum-melongena-l" >EFFECTS OF GINGER EXTRACTS ON SHELF-LIFE OF EGG PLANT (Solanum melongena L.)</a> </h6> </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/speaker-photo/Plant-Physiology-2016-Ogbuehi-Hyginus-chikaodi-38568.jpg" alt="Speaker" title="Ogbuehi Hyginus chikaodi" class="img-responsive thumbnail pull-left"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p>OGBUEHI HYGINUS is a doctorate degree holder in the Department of Crop Science and Biotechnology at the University of Imo State where he has been a Faculty member since 2008.

The experiment was arranged in a Completely Randomized Design with four replication and four treatments which include various concentrations of ginger extract (50mg, 100mg and 200mg) with an untreated plots which served as the control. The freshly harvested fruits were cleared and treated with the various concentrations of ginger extract and placed in storage. The fruits were monitored daily and data were collected on various parameters which included ambient temperature, daily weight and weight loss, fruit firmness and colour change. The fruits were taken for proximate analysis at the end of the study and acceptability assessment was also conducted based on a 9 point hedonic scale. Statistical analysis of the data showed that 100mg ginger extracted fruits were better accepted on the bases of fruit firmness, aroma and palatability. Results also showed that ginger extract did not influence weight loss significantly. However, the highest dietary fibre, fat, protein and ascorbic acid (10.30%, 70.20%, 2.60% and 6.90% respectively) were obtained from the 100mg ginger extract treated fruits. It was concluded that application of ginger extract at 100mg concentration was best for the extension of the shelf life of egg plant.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-12"> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/ajiboye-abiodun-akeem-federal-university-nigeria-r-n" >Ajiboye Abiodun Akeem </a></h4> <p>Federal University, Nigeria </p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/effect-of-ecto-and-endomycorrhizae-on-seedling-growth-of-four-savanna-tree-seeds-in-nigeria-tamarindus-indica-l-albezia-lebbeck-benth-prosopis-africana-l-and-parkia-biglobossa-jacq-b" >EFFECT OF ECTO AND ENDOMYCORRHIZAE ON SEEDLING GROWTH OF FOUR SAVANNA TREE SEEDS IN NIGERIA (Tamarindus indica (L), Albezia lebbeck (benth), Prosopis africana (L) and Parkia biglobossa (Jacq.B))</a> </h6> </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/speaker-photo/Plant-Physiology-2016-Ajiboye-Abiodun-Akeem--38569.jpg" alt="Speaker" title="Ajiboye Abiodun Akeem " class="img-responsive thumbnail pull-left"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p>Dr. Ajiboye Abiodun Akeem has completed his Ph.D degree at the age of 29 from the federal university of Agriculture, Abeokuta.

Endomycorrhizae (Glomus mossae) and ectomycorrhizae (Saillus luteus); both were used in crude forms. The relative endomycorrhizal dependency of the seedlings were maximum in Parkia seedlings by having up to 68%, 41.0% in Albizia, 35.0% in Tamarindus and the least was 21% in Prosopis seedlings. However, Tamarindus seedlings had the highest ectomycorrhizal dependency with about 55.0%,while 54.0% was showed in Prosopis africana. About 50.0% and 46.0% were shown in Albizia lebbeck and Parkia biglobossa seedlings respectively. Ectomycorrhizal inoculation greatly enhanced seedling growth and development of Prosopis Africana,Albizia lebbeck ,Tamarindus indica Parkia and biglobossa had the highest significant difference (p<0.05) in leaf area at treatment.Endomycorrhizal inoculation also greatly enhanced seedling growth of Prosopis africana, Albizia lebbeck and Tamarindus indica Parkia biglobossa had highest significant difference (P<0.05) in leaf area, leaf number,petiolenght,stem girth and plant heights in the treatment. Treatment means were separated using least significant difference at 5% probability level.The results obtained in this study will foster valuable contributions in the areas of increasing the seedling growth of these savanna tree seeds through the incorporation of both ecto and endo mycorrhizae into the soil.This findings will also assist to increase seedling production for agro forestry purposes in Nigeria. </p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-12"> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/mohamed-abdalla-assiut-university-egypt" >Mohamed Abdalla</a></h4> <p>Assiut University, Egypt</p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/showing-some-broccoli-and-cabbage-genotypes-biodiversity-using-randomly-amplified-polymorphic-dnas-rapd" >Showing some Broccoli and Cabbage Genotypes Biodiversity Using Randomly amplified polymorphic DNAs (RAPD).</a> </h6> </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p>He is finished his PhD at the age of 31 years from Technical University of Berlin and Assiut University (Channel system).

Its successful production has been drastically affected by early leaf spot disease caused by Mycosphaerella arachidis Deighton. In vitro control of the pathogen by six medicinal plants (Entada africana, Vitex doniana, Lawsonia inermis, Azadirachta indica, Acalypha hispida and Nuaclea latifolia) was assessed in this study. The extracts of the plants were prepared using cold and hot water and alcohol. The pathogen was isolated from ground nut infected with early leaf spot disease. The results revealed a great significant difference (P<0.05) in yield of extracts between cold water, hot water and alcohol extracts. A significant difference (P<0.05) was observed in percentage concentrations of the various phytochemical constituents present in the extracts. Flavonoids percentage concentration was the highest (0.68 - 1.95%) followed by saponnin(0.09 - 1.53%) in N. latifolia extracts. Steroiods had the least percentage concentrations (0.00- 0.09%)followed by terpenoids(0.02 – 0.71%) and proanthocyannin (0.05 – 0.86%). N. latifolia extracts produced the highest percentage concentrations (0.07 – 1.95%) of all the phytochemicals followed by A. indica(0.05 – 1.64%)and least concentrations were obtained in A. hispidia(0.09 – 0.87%)and V. doniana (0.00 – 0.88%). The extracts inhibited spore germination and growth of M. arachidis. The inhibition by alcohol extracts was high and significantly different (P>0.05) from cold and hot water extracts. Alcohol extract of L. inermis gave 100% spore germination inhibition followed by N. latifolia and A.indica with 97.75% and 85.60% inhibition respectively.

The tested cultivars were exposed to three different temperatures i.e., 25, 40 and 45 °C under controlled conditions in growth chambers. Various growth, physiological and biochemcial characters in leaf or/and root tissues were analyzed. According to percent inhibition in shoot/root fresh and dry biomass at the highest temperature (45 °C) cultivars Sabaz Pari, Desi Okra and Green Wonder were ranked as tolerant (percent inhibition less than 60%), Shahzadi, Anarkali, Sarsabaz and Rama Krishna moderately tolerant (percent inhibition 60–70%), Click-5759 MF-03 and Pen Beauty heat sensitive (percent inhibition more than 70%). Heat stress caused significant reductions in photosynthesis associated attributes but didn’t affect number of stomata. High temperature-stress significantly elevated the activities of antixodiants, levels of osmolytes and decreased the MSI, and activities of GPX and CAT, while the internal levels of H2O2 remained unaffected in all tested okra cultivars. Although heat-induced oxidative stress was observed in all okra cultivars, but the response of heat-resistant and heat-sensitive cultivars with respect to the formation of enzymatic and non-enzymatic metabolites measured in the present study was not consistent. Of various gas exchange characteristics, antioxidant-enzymes and metabolites measured, only Pn, MSI and activities of GPX and CAT activity was found to be a consistent indicators of heat-tolerance in tested okra cultivars.</p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <div class="content-box tracks" style="clear:both"> <ul class="list-group show"> <li class="list-group-item">Agricultural science and agricultural biotechnology</li> </ul> </div> <div class="content-box tracks" style="clear:both"> <ul class="list-group show"> <li class="list-group-item">Track 6: Plant Ecology & Agro- diversity Track 7: Plant Biotechnology and Tissue culture Track 8: Plant Genetics and molecular biology of plant Track 9: Phytochemicals Track 10: Mycology & Phycology</li> </ul> <h5>Location: Allen</h5> </div> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-10"> <h4>Session Introduction</h4> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/russel-j-reiter-ut-health-science-center-usa" >Russel J Reiter</a></h4> <p>UT Health Science Center, USA</p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/phytomelatonin-helping-plants-to-survive-and-to-thrive" >Phytomelatonin: Helping plants to survive and to thrive</a> </h6> <p>Time : <b>11:50-12:20</b></p> </div> <div class="affiliation col-md-2 side-menu-content"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/institution-logo/41278-Speaker-Logo-T.png" > </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/speaker-photo/Plant-Physiology-2016-Russel-J-Reiter-41278.jpg" alt="Speaker" title="Russel J Reiter" class="img-responsive thumbnail pull-left"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p><p> Russel J Reiter, PhD, is a Professor of <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">Cell Biology</a> at the UT Health Science Center in San Antonio, Texas.

It is assumed that serotonin is acted upon by N-acetyltransferase (NAT) to generate N-acetylserotonin; the latter molecule is then catalyzed to N-acetyl-5-methoxytryptamine (melatonin) by acetylserotonin methyltransferase (ASMT) (formally known as hydroxylindole-O- methyltransferase or HIOMT). Melatonin may not be the fi nal product in some plant species, since melatonin is acted upon by 2-hydroxylase to produce 2-hydroxymelatonin. Melatonin and 2-hydroxymelatonin function as <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">free radical</a> scavengers to detoxify reactive oxygen species that otherwise damage critical molecules in plant cells. Additionally, melatonin is a potent growth promoting agent in plants. For example, when soybean seeds are coated with a solution that contains melatonin, a larger percentage of the seeds will germinate, plants grow faster and larger and the number of seeds and seed pods will be increased. Th us, melatonin enhances product yield in soybeans. Similarly, when seed corn or cucumber seeds are hydroprimed with melatonin, the percentage of the seeds that germinate elevated and product yield also increased. Plants treated with melatonin either pre- or post-germination are also more resistant to damage by environmental perturbations that interfere with photosynthesis and growth than control plants which are not treated with melatonin. Collectively, the results on the functions of melatonin in plants indicate that this indoleamine is highly beneficial in terms of protecting the plants from stressors and in improving productivity, actions that could have a major impact on food availability.</p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-10"> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/deshpal-s-verma-ohio-state-university-usa" >Deshpal S Verma</a></h4> <p>Ohio State University, USA</p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/building-of-cell-plate-during-cytokinesis-in-plant-cell" >Building of cell plate during cytokinesis in plant cell</a> </h6> <p>Time : <b>12:20-12:50</b></p> </div> <div class="affiliation col-md-2 side-menu-content"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/institution-logo/41280-Speaker-Logo-T.jpg" > </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/speaker-photo/Plant-Physiology-2016-Deshpal-S-Verma-41280.jpg" alt="Speaker" title="Deshpal S Verma" class="img-responsive thumbnail pull-left"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p><p> Desh Pal S Verma is a full Professor at the Ohio State University, USA.

Th e cell plate is built in the center of phragmoplast by fusion of Golgi-derived vesicles. Th is step imposes an architectural problem where ballooning of the fused structures has to be avoided to create a plate like structure. Th is is achieved by an unique mechanism vesicles are squeezed into dumbbell-shaped vesicle-tubule-vesicle (VTV) structures with the help of phragmoplastin, a homolog of dynamin. These structures are fused at their ends in a star-shaped body creating a tubulovesicular "honeycomb-like" structure in the center of <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">phragmoplast</a>. Phragmoplastin was shown to interact with Cell-Plate-specifi c Callose synthase encoded by CalS1 gene. Th is protein further intracts with a UDP-glucose transferase forming a complex that produces copious amounts of callose needed to form the cell plate. Once the plate reaches the periphery of the cell, then cellulose synthase takes over and deposit cellulose microfi brils on the cell plate making a rigid cell wall. Th e identifi cation of Phragmoplastin and Callose synthase complex alloed us to work out the mechanism by which cell plate is built during <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">cytokinesis</a> in plants.</p> </p> </div> </div> <div class="bg-warning session-break"><span class="bg-info">Break:</span> Lunch Break: 12:50-13:30 @ Waterfall Atrium </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-10"> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/andy-pereira-university-of-arkansas-usa" >Andy Pereira </a></h4> <p>University of Arkansas, USA</p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/regulation-of-the-lignocellulose-pathway-in-rice-as-a-model-for-grasses" >Regulation of the lignocellulose pathway in rice as a model for grasses</a> </h6> <p>Time : <b>13:30-14:00</b></p> </div> <div class="affiliation col-md-2 side-menu-content"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/institution-logo/41281-Speaker-Logo-T.png" > </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/speaker-photo/Plant-Physiology-2016-Andy-Pereira--41281.jpg" alt="Speaker" title="Andy Pereira " class="img-responsive thumbnail pull-left"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p><p> Andy Pereira completed his PhD from Iowa State University, with postdoctoral studies from Max-Planck Institute (Germany), and worked as a scientist in Plant Research International (Netherlands) and Virginia Tech before joining the University of Arkansas as Anheuser-Busch Endowed Professor in Rice Plant <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">Molecular Genetics</a>.

Nevertheless, <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">cellulose</a> from plant biomass is the largest renewable energy resource of carbon fixed from the atmosphere, which can be converted into fermentable sugars for production into ethanol. Rice straw especially is a major crop waste that is oft en burnt or removed from fi elds.

Roots are the main site for nutrient uptake; their size and distribution in soil profi les, and uptake activity largely determine <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">nutrient</a> uptake effi ciency. However, low temperature at seedling stage inhibits root development of winter <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">wheat</a> and nutrient bioavailability; and root senescence during grain filling is becoming a limiting factor for achieving high yield in modern wheat varieties. By screening genes in response to low nitrogen stress and nitrate treatment, we identifi ed a low <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">nitrogen </a>inducied transcription factor TaNFYA-6B and a nitrate inducible transcription factor TaNAC2-5A. Overexpression of these genes in wheat increased root growth and nitrate infl ux rate of wheat seedlings and improved grain yield under both low and high nitrogen conditions. Glutamine synthetase (GS) plays an essential role in the metabolism of nitrogen. By analyzing the mini-core collection (MCC) of the Chinese wheat germplasm, we identifi ed a favorable allele of GS2, TaGS2-A1b. Expressing proTaGS2-A1b::TaGS2-A1b in wheat signifi cantly increased nitrogen uptake during grain-fi lling period, and grain yield under both low and high nitrogen conditions. Our results suggest that improving the root ability in efficiently acquiring nitrogen at seedling stage and aft er fl owering is crucial in engineering nitrogen use efficiency in wheat.</p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-10"> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/hui-tag-mississippi-state-university-usa" >Hui Tag</a></h4> <p>Mississippi State University, USA</p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/biodiversity-of-wild-food-and-medicinal-plants-of-eastern-himalayas" >Biodiversity of wild food and medicinal plants of Eastern Himalayas</a> </h6> <p>Time : <b>14:30-15:00</b></p> </div> <div class="affiliation col-md-2 side-menu-content"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/institution-logo/41283-Speaker-Logo-T.png" > </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <img src="https://d2cax41o7ahm5l.cloudfront.net/cs/speaker-photo/Plant-Physiology-2016-Hui-Tag-41283.jpg" alt="Speaker" title="Hui Tag" class="img-responsive thumbnail pull-left"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p>The corresponding author Dr. Hui Tag did his Master of Science in Botany from Rajiv Gandhi University (2002), Arunachal Pradesh, India and obtained his PhD Degree in Botany from the same University in the year 2008.

Tomato seeds were cultured with 0 mM (control), 50 mM, 100 mM, 150 mM and 250 mM NaCl in nutrient solutions. The effect of the stress applied on the morphological traits was evaluated in 9 day-old seedlings. The analysis of variance showed that the highest root length was grown on 50 mM NaCl solution. The shortest root length was observed entries BD-7260 at 250 mM. Longer roots (11.6 cm) were developed by the plants from the solutions containing 50 mM NaCl in entries BD-7302. NaCl concentration in the medium significantly affected the root length and plant weight of tomato.

Globally, maize (Zea mays L.) is a major crop seriously affected by drought. Previously, we cloned a transcription factor ABP9 from maize that its overexpression in Arabidopsis confers tolerance to multiple <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">abiotic stresses</a> including drought. To examine its function transgenic maize plants ABP9 were generated. In this research, we evaluated the performance of the transgenic maize plants of the four constructs of ABP9 under the control of different promoters, namely Pabp9-ABP9.1A, Pubi-ABP9.1B, Pubi-ABP9.2 and Pubi-ABP9-3xFLAG under both drought at vegetative and reproductive stages and well watered conditions in the field and identified several transgenic events showed high level of tolerance to drought stress. This research confirms that those transgenic maize events (201, 206, 212 and 214 of Pabp9-ABP9.1A), (604, 606, 611, 612 616 and 617 of Pubi-ABP9.1B), (702, 705, 713, 714 and 717of Pubi-ABP9.2) and (809 and 815) Pubi-ABP9-3xFLAG acquired higher chlorophyll fluorescence is key parameter for drought tolerance at vegetative stages compared to the non-transgenic controls in field. Moreover, this investigation will serve as a preliminary study for chlorophyll fluorescence parameters in order to understand the genetic and physiological background of ABP9 to drought stress tolerance in <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">transgenic maize</a>.</p> </p> </div> </div> </div> </section> <section> <div class="col-md-12"> <div class="affiliation bs-callout col-md-10"> <h4><a style="color:#63a7f4;" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/speaker/2016/s-n-al-nadhari-king-saud-university-saudi-arabia" >S N Al-Nadhari</a></h4> <p>King Saud University, Saudi Arabia</p> <h6>Title: <a style="color:#63a7f4" href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/abstract/2016/comparative-efficacy-of-different-approaches-to-manage-meloidogyne-incognita-on-green-bean" >Comparative efficacy of different approaches to manage Meloidogyne incognita on green bean</a> </h6> <p>Time : <b>16:10-16:30</b></p> </div> </div> <div class="speaker-bio-abs"> <div class="bio-main"> <div class="bio"> <h5>Biography:</h5> <p><p> S N Al-Nadhari has completed his PhD in <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">Plant Pathology</a> (Plant Nematology) at College of Food and Agriculture, King Saud University, Saudi Arabia in 2014.

These approaches include chemical (fumigant, non-fumigant, seed dressing, and seed dip), biological (the egg-parasitic fungus, Paecilomyces lilacinus and the mycorrhizal fungus Glomus sp.), physical (soil solarization), and cultural (chicken litter and urea) methods. Nine different control materials and application methods were compared. Two important parameters were considered: plant response (plant growth and root galling) and nematode reproduction (production of eggs and the reproduction factor Rf). The results showed that the use of chicken litter as an organic fertilizer severely affected the growth and survival of the seedlings. Therefore, this treatment was removed from the evaluation test. All of the other treatments were found to be effective against nematode reproduction, but with different levels of efficacy. The eight treatments decreased (38.9-99.8%) root galling, increased plant growth and suppressed nematode reproduction. Based on three important criteria, namely, the gall index (GI), egg mass index (EMI), and reproduction factor (RF), the tested materials and methods were categorized into three groups according to their relative control efficacy under the applied test conditions. The three groups were as follows: 1) the relatively high effective group (GI=1.0-1.4, Rf=0.07-0.01), which included the <a href="https://plantphysiology.conferenceseries.com/">fumigant dazomet</a>, the non-fumigant fenamiphos, soil solarization, and seed dip with 1 fenamiphos; 2) the relatively moderate effective group (GI=3.4-4.0, Rf=0.24-0.60), which included seed dressing with fenamiphos and
