“…Populations of this region are mainly local populations with some introduced foreign varieties such as Sardi 10 (Australia), Magali (France), and Ameristand 801S (USA). Several authors reported great genetic diversity within the species Medicago sativa based on different aspects: agro-morphological, histological and molecular (Kapoor and Srivastava 2010;Badran et al 2015;Chen et al 2007;Ashraf et al 2002;Raina et al 2019), nutritional (Misra et al 1997a;El-Bassiouny and Bekheta 2005a), and also drought resistance (Benabderrahim et al 2015(Benabderrahim et al , 2020Yan et al 2013).…”

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most valuable forage crops having an intermediate salt-tolerant level. In this fact, twelve selected alfalfa from the south Tunisia oasis were subjected to salt stress looking for their adaptability against these abiotic constraints. Hence, this work reports the sodium chloride effect (150 mM) on the basis of biomass yield reduction. For this, some cultural, physiological, and biochemical parameters were monitored. Indeed, the relative water content, the stem and leaves aspects, chlorophyll content, protein amount, free proline amount, K + and Na + concentrations, protease and α-amylase activities, superoxide dismutase, and catalase ones were monitored. The findings give rise to no significant salinity effect on stem length and leaf number. However, there was a significant difference in leaf color for plants under salt stress. In addition, salinity decreases both fresh and dry weight of all cultivars. NaCl treatment significantly reduced chlorophyll content and the K + ion accumulations. Also, under salt stress, there was higher proline accumulation, Na + , and proteins in all alfalfa cultivars than under control. Additionally, these findings noticed the increase of enzymatic scavenging system related to the activity of superoxide dismutase, catalase, and protease under salt stress condition. In contrast, the α-amylase activity decreased under salt treatment. It seems from the studied parameters that our 12 alfalfa oasis cultivars are tolerant to salt stress under oasis conditions.

“…Among the radiations, gamma rays are widely preferred physical mutagens that affect plant growth and development by altering the biochemical, physiological and morphological traits (11)(12)(13). Moreover, the highest number of mutants have been developed via the use of gamma rays due to their ability to induce single and double-stranded DNA breaks (14,15). Gamma rays interact with plant tissues in two ways: direct and indirect interaction.…”

The present study was carried out to analyse the effect of gamma radiation on morpho-physiological parameters of seven days old M1 seedlings of Eleusine coracana (L.) Gaertn. (finger millet). The finger millet seeds were irradiated with different doses of viz., 100 Gy, 200 Gy, 300 Gy, 400 Gy, 500 Gy, 600 Gy, 700 Gy, 800 Gy, 900 Gy and 1000 Gy of gamma ray. Higher doses of gamma rays induced substantial reduction in mean performance of morphological and physiological traits. However, lower doses showed stimulatory effects on morphological and physiological traits. The results revealed a progressive decrease in chlorophyll fluorescence with increasing dose of gamma irradiation. Among all the mutagen doses used, 600 Gy gamma irradiated seeds showed enhanced mean performance of morphological and physiological traits in finger millet. Hence 600 Gy gamma rays may be employed in other crop species to improve the agro-economic traits

Kersting's groundnut [Macrotyloma geocarpum (Harms.) Maréchal and Baudet], Fabaceae, is an important source of protein and essential amino acids. As a grain legume species, it also contributes to improving soil fertility through symbiotic nitrogen fixation. However, the crop is characterized by a relatively low yield (≤500 kg/ha), and limited progress has been made so far, toward the development of high-yielding cultivars that can enhance and sustain its productivity. Recently, there was an increased interest in alleviating the burdens related to Kersting's groundnut (KG) cultivation through the development of improved varieties. Preliminary investigations assembled germplasms from various producing countries. In-depth ethnobotanical studies and insightful investigation on the reproductive biology of the species were undertaken alongside morphological, biochemical, and molecular characterizations. Those studies revealed a narrow genetic base for KG. In addition, the self-pollinating nature of its flowers prevents cross-hybridization and represents a major barrier limiting the broadening of the genetic basis. Therefore, the development of a research pipeline to address the bottlenecks specific to KG is a prerequisite for the successful expansion of the crop. In this paper, we offer an overview of the current state of research on KG and pinpoint the knowledge gaps; we defined and discussed the main steps of breeding for KG' cultivars development; this included (i) developing an integrated genebank, inclusive germplasm, and seed system management; (ii) assessing end-users preferences and possibility for industrial exploitation of the crop; (iii) identifying biotic and abiotic stressors and the genetic control of responsive traits to those factors; (iv) overcoming the cross-pollination challenges in KG to propel the development of hybrids; (v) developing new approaches to create variability and setting adequate cultivars and breeding approaches; (vi) karyotyping and draft genome analysis to accelerate cultivars development and increase genetic gains; and (vii) evaluating the adaptability and stability of cultivars across various ecological regions.
