Screening Method of Lowland Rice Genotypes for Zinc Uptake Efficiency
نویسنده
چکیده
Zinc deficiency in crop plants has been recognized as a worldwide nutritional constraint. A greenhouse experiment was conducted with the objective of developing a screening technique to evaluate lowland rice genotypes for zinc use efficiency. Ten lowland (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes were tested at low (0 mg Zn kg) and high (10 mg Zn kg) zinc levels applied to an Inceptisol. Genotypes differed significantly in grain yield and its components. Based on the grain yield efficiency index, genotypes were classified as efficient and inefficient. The most Zn efficient genotypes were: Metica 1, Epagri 108, CNA 7550, and CNA 8619. The most inefficient genotype was CNA 8319. The moderately efficient genotypes were: Javae, Rio Formoso, CNA 7556, and CNA 7857. The screening method used for Zn use efficiency is simple and does not require plant analysis. This methodology can be used for crop genotype evaluation of mineral stresses, which have direct bearings in genetic studies and breeding programes

CHARACTERIZATION OF Zn EFFICIENCY IN IRANIAN RICE GENOTYPES I. UPTAKE EFFICIENY
Zn deficiency is one of the most important micro-nutritional disorders in lowland rice. In this work, fourteen Iranian rice cultivars were studied in the field as well as in solution culture experiments to determine genotypic differences for traits characterizing Zn efficiency. A low uptake efficiency was observed in some (Onda and Kadoos) of the Zn-inefficient genotypes. A relatively high corr...
متن کاملGrouping of Rice Genotypes Based on Grain Iron, Zinc, Manganese and Protein and Performance Measurement of Linked Microsatellite Markers
In order to select the best parents for crossings, plant breeders seek varieties or genotypes with highest genetic dissimilarities. This can be achieved by measuring the similarities among genotypes, using multivariate analysis methods such as cluster analysis. This study aimed to group 50 aerobic and lowland rice genotypes based on biochemical characteristics including Iron, Zinc, Manganese an...

Cadmium (Cd) is among the most widespread and toxic heavy metal in several part of the world. Its toxicity in soil is becoming a severe threat to living organism worldwide. It is one of the main pollutants in paddy fields near industrial areas and highly toxic to plant growth and development of the plants. Cd can be easily taken up by plants and enter the food chain. Therefore, precautionary me...

Considering to drought stress importance as most important limiting factor in rice production in world, identification of tolerant genotypes to drought can be a valuable approach to deal with the drought stress. In the present experiment plant materials contains 53 rice genotypes including 31 aerobic and 22 lowland (landrace) rice that were grown in two conditions under drought stress and norma...
متن کاملRice Genotype Differences in Tolerance of Zinc-Deficient Soils: Evidence for the Importance of Root-Induced Changes in the Rhizosphere
Zinc (Zn) deficiency is a major constraint to rice production and Zn is also often deficient in humans with rice-based diets. Efforts to breed more Zn-efficient rice are constrained by poor understanding of the mechanisms of tolerance to deficiency. Here we assess the contributions of root growth and root Zn uptake efficiency, and we seek to explain the results in terms of specific mechanisms. ...
