in order to determine combining ability, heritability and heterosis of some agronomic traits in rice, 4 pure lines were crossed with 2 cytoplasmic male sterile testers. parents and their f1 progenies arranged in rcb design with three replications. analysis of variance showed significant differences among genotypes for all traits, except for filled grains/panicle. furthermore, the crosses effect...

Backcross inbred lines (BILs) derived from elite x wild crosses are very useful for basic studies and breeding. The aim of this study was to map quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with yield and related traits and to identify chromosomal segment substitution lines (CSSLs) from unselected BC2F8 BILs of Swarna/Oryza nivara IRGC81848. In all, 94 BILs were field evaluated in 2 years (wet sea...

The reproductive stage of rice is vulnerable to heat stress, which reduces spikelet fertility and yield. Auxin significantly influences development, hence the research aimed enhance grain attributes in plants by exploring application efficiency Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) 1-naphthaleneacetic (NAA) under stress. This study investigated effects IAA (10 μmol L−1) NAA (100 on rate six genotypes duri...

Cytoplasm has substantial genetic effects on progeny and is important for yield improvement in rice breeding. Studies on the cytoplasmic effects of cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) show that most types of CMS have negative effects on yield-related traits and that these negative effects vary among CMS. Some types of genic male sterility (GMS), including photo-thermo sensitive male sterility (PTM...

ٍearly watergrass (echinochloa oryzicola (ard) fisher) is an aggressive specie of echinochloa and have mimicry chareterstics of rice . in order to evaluate competitive effect of aggressive specie of echinochloa on rice, an experiment was conducted at the rice research institute of rasht during 2007. the experimental design was complete randomized block with three replications. the treatment incl...

The study was conducted to investigate genetic variability among 113 aromatic and fine local rice genotypes of which five were exotic in origin. The test genotypes were evaluated for 19 growth traits, yield components, and yield. All the quantitative traits varied significantly among the test genotypes. High heritability along with high genetic advance was observed for flag leaf area, secondary...

The present investigation was carried out to assess the genetic variability parameters, correlation and path analysis in 23 rice genotypes for 13 quantitative traits viz Days 50% flowering, Maturity, Plant height (cm), Flag Leaf Length Width Number of total tillers, Productive Tillers, Panicle Biomass (g), Harvest Index (%), Grains per Panicle, Test Weight (1000 grain weight), Grain Yield (g). ...

studies of genetic diversity of plant populations are very important tools for plant breeders. in this study, 110 rice genotypes, including 39 iranian local, 20 iranian improved and 51 foreign improved varieties were studied for 14 agronomic traits in the the rectangular lattice design at the rice research institute of iran (rasht). the analysis of variance showed that there were significant di...

Yield in rice (Oryza sativa) is determined by three major components: panicle number per plant, grain weight and grain/ spikelet number per panicle (Zhou et al., 2015). Grain number per panicle is one of the main targets and mainly results from the number of spikelets. Traditionally, rice breeders have focused on the improvement of spikelet number per panicle and rarely focused on the number of...
