Evidence for the characterisation of the C-H …∏ interaction as a weak hydrogen bond: toluene and chlorobenzene solvates of 2,3,7,8-tetraphenyl-1,9,10-anthyridine
The crystal structures of the toluene and chlorobenzene solvates of 2,3,7,8-tetraphenyl-1,9,10-anthyridine are nearly identical save for differences in the mode of solvent inclusion; these differences have an important bearing on the nature of the C-H … ∏ interactions in these structures
Seeking structural repetitivity in systems with interaction interference: crystal engineering in the gem-alkynol family
Synthon repetitivity has been demonstrated in a pair of gem-alkynols, despite the high degree of interaction interference typical of this family of compounds
When is a polymorph not a polymorph? Helical trimeric O-H···O synthons in trans-1,4-diethynylcyclohexane-1,4-diol
Two polymorphs (A and B) of trans-1,4-diethynylcyclohexane-1,4-diol represent a unique example of the simultaneous occurrence of both conformational polymorphism and conformational isomorphism, while a pseudopolymorphic monohydrate is closely related

Not AvailableImproved Samba Mahsuri (ISM) is a popular, high - yielding, bacterial blight resistant rice variety possessing mediumslender
grain type. As ISM is highly susceptible to blast disease of rice, through the present study we have transferred two
major blast resistance genes, Pi2 and Pi54 into the elite variety by marker - assisted backcross breeding. The two blast
resistance genes were transferred to ISM through sets of backcrosses. In every backcross generation, PCR - based markers,
specific for the blast resistance genes (Pi2 and Pi54) and bacterial blight resistance genes (Xa21, xa13 and xa5) were
utilized for foreground selection, while a set of 144 parental polymorphic SSR markers were used for background selection
and backcrossing was carried out until BC2 generation. A solitary BC2F1 plant possessing Pi2 or Pi54 along with Xa21,
xa13 and xa5 and[90%] recovery of ISM genome was selected from the two sets of backcrosses were crossed and the
intercross F1s (ICF1s) thus obtained were selfed to generate ICF2s. Homozygous ICF2 plants carrying all the five resistance
genes were identified through markers and advanced through selfing till ICF5 generation by adopting pedigree method of
selection. Three best lines at ICF5, possessing excellent resistance against bacterial blight and blast and closely resembling
or superior to ISM in terms of grain quality: yield and agro - morphological traits have been identified and advanced for
multi - location trials.ICAR-Consortia Research Platform on Molecular Breeding with Award number F.No.F 3/CRPMB Gen/2015-16/1714, which has provided significant financial support for carrying out the present study is thankfully acknowledged by the authors of the study
