The study was conducted to evaluate the extent of variability among the small grain aromatic (SGA) rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes for yield and yield components. Twenty four popular SGA rice genotypes were evaluated for yield and yield contributing characters in BRAC Agricultural Research and Development Centre, Gazipur, Bangladesh. BRRI dhan34 was used as check variety. Highest grain yield p...

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] is an important staple food crop in northern Benin. In order to assess its diversity in Benin, 142 accessions of landraces collected from Northern Benin were grown in Central Benin and characterised using 10 qualitative and 14 quantitative agromorphological traits. High variability among both qualitative and quantitative traits was observed. Grain yield (0....

Ergot, caused by Claviceps purpurea (Fr.:Fr.) Tul., is an important disease of grasses grown for seed. Ergot can be especially severe in Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) seed production, with yield losses estimated as high as 25% (2). Claviceps purpurea invades the ovary, replacing the potential seed with a hard black sclerotium. Sclerotia are typically one to several times longer than the...

Foxtail millet (Setaria italica L.) is cultivated around the world for human and animal consumption. There is no suitable herbicide available for weed control in foxtail millet fields during the post-emergence stage. In this study, we investigated the effect and safety of the post-emergence herbicide tribenuron-methyl (TBM) on foxtail millet in terms of grain yield and quality using a split-plo...

Studying the evolutionary patterns of rice agronomic traits in South China and analyzing characteristics improvement can provide insights into developmental trajectory breeding guide further enhancement variety yield. In this study, widely promoted varieties core parents developed through dwarf southern region, as well landraces, were collected planted three different ecological regions. A tota...

Studies were carried out in National Active Germplasm Site (NAGS) at ICAR-NRC on Litchi, Muzaffarpur, Bihar, India during 2018 and 2019 to find the association between different characters magnitude of with yield (kg plant-1) nine clones litchi (Litchi chinensis Sonn.). Result revealed that genotypic coefficient higher than their corresponding phenotypic ones implying an inherent relationship a...

Abstract Background Tiller number is a factor determining panicle and grain yield in wheat ( Triticum aestivum ). Auxin plays an important role the regulation of branch production. PIN-FORMED 1 (PIN1), auxin efflux carrier, tiller rice Oryza sativa ); however, little known on roles PIN1 wheat. Results Nine homologs TaPIN1 genes were identified wheat, which TaPIN1-6 showed higher expression stem...

The aim of this research was to identify the vegetative and generative characters G16 rice mutants due gamma-ray irradiation. experiment conducted in Saribaye Village, Lingsar District, West Lombok Regency. experimental design used an Augmented Design, using three comparison plants, namely line (parent), Inpago Unram 1 variety, IPB 3S variety. four mutant populations tested were doses 200, 300,...

The genetic basis underlying the relationship between the source leaves (the top two leaves) and the sink capacity in rice was investigated in a replicated trial of 2418 F2 derived F4 progeny from an inter-subspecific cross between cv. Lemont (japonica) and cv. Teqing (indica) and a complete linkage map with 115 well distributed RFLP markers. Path analysis indicated that 50% of the phenotypic v...
