Coloured rice genotypes have greater nutritious value and consumer demand for these varieties is now greater than ever. The documentation of these genotypes is important for the improvement of the rice plant. In this study, 42 coloured rice genotypes were selected for determination of their genetic divergence using 25 simple sequence repeat (SSR) primers and 15 agro-morphological traits. Twenty...

in order to evaluation rice cultivars in different irrigation treatment based on sensitive and tolerance indices in rice , an experiment was conducted as split plot based on randomized completed block design with three replications at rice research institute of iran. main factors were included of five irrigation levels: flooded irrigation (normal treatment), irrigation after banishment, five, e...

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...

Water deficit caused a serious threat to crops, especially panicle development at reproductive growth phase. We investigated grain yield components and gene expression profiles of panicle among tolerant and sensitive rice in response to drought stress. Panicle morphologies exhibited that secondary branches per panicle were more severely affected as compared to primary branches per panicle. More...

The field experiments with thirty genotypes were conducted during June to October month of kharif, 2018 and 2019, assess extent variability under aerobic condition. sown dry direct seeded condition using randomized block design (RBD) three replications. Each genotype was in single row 5 m length spacing 20 cm between rows 15 plants. Data recorded for 22 characters including different morphologi...

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). ...

FRIZZLE PANICLE (FZP) and RFL/ABERRANT PANICLE ORGANIZATION 2 (APO2) play important roles in regulating the ABCDE floral organ identity genes. However, the relationships among FZP and these floral identity genes in the regulation of panicle formation remain unclear. Here, we used the novel mutant fzp-11, wild-type and FZP-overexpressing plants to compare the expression of these genes during pan...

hybrid rice varieties are potentially higher yielding than the best inbred varieties and perform better under adverse conditions of drought and salinity. one of the major impediments for seed production of hybrid rice is incomplete panicle exsertion in the cytoplasmic male sterile lines. the unexserted spikelets which are left inside the flag leaf sheath remain unfertile. this research was focu...

The productivity in sorghum is low, owing to various biotic and abiotic constraints. Combining insect resistance with desirable agronomic and morphological traits is important to increase sorghum productivity. Therefore, it is important to understand the variability for various agronomic traits, their heritabilities and nature of gene action to develop appropriate strategies for crop improvemen...
