in order to providing selection indices using heritability and correlation effective traits on yield and multiple regression an experiment was conducted by 265 f3 families as well as parents and f1 related to gharib × khazar population in 2009 at gonbad high education center fields. days to repining (0.97) and panicle number and flag leaf length (0.66) had maximum and minimum heritability, resp...

Rice blast is one of the most destructive diseases affecting rice worldwide. The adoption of host resistance has proven to be the most economical and effective approach to control rice blast. In recent years, sequence-specific nucleases (SSNs) have been demonstrated to be powerful tools for the improvement of crops via gene-specific genome editing, and CRISPR/Cas9 is thought to be the most effe...

The present study was carried out in Agricultural Research Station, Hagari during rabi 2020, it undertaken to assess nature of genetic variability and diversity among 200 mutant lines M4 generation. revealed wide variation for yield attributing traits, moderate GCV PCV coupled with high heritability advance observed stem girth, panicle length width. traits viz., length, weight, width, 100-seed ...

Sorghum [Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench] yield formation is severely affected by high temperature stress during reproductive stages. This study pursues to (i) identify the growth stage(s) most sensitive to high temperature stress during reproductive development, (ii) determine threshold temperature and duration of high temperature stress that decreases floret fertility and individual grain weight,...

Inflorescence development in cereals, including such important crops as rice, maize, and wheat, directly affects grain number and size and is a key determinant of yield. Cytokinin regulates meristem size and activity and, as a result, has profound effects on inflorescence development and architecture. To clarify the role of cytokinin action in inflorescence development, we used the NanoString n...

A total of forty-nine recombinant inbred lines were evaluated for 16 traits using simple lattice design. All the measured over locations showed highly significant differences among except fertile tiller per plant, while x location interaction effect was most measured. Grain yield highest phenotypic coefficients variation (PCV) (26.36%) followed by above ground biomass (23.16%), remaining low (&...

Many different crop species were selected for a common suite of 'domestication traits', which facilitates their use for studies of parallel evolution. Within domesticated rice (Oryza sativa), there has also been independent evolution of weedy strains from different cultivated varieties. This makes it possible to examine the genetic basis of parallel weed evolution and the extent to which this p...

QTL underlying related traits at the late developmental stage under two different nitrogen levels were investigated in rice using a population of chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSL) derived from a cross between Teqing and Lemont. A total of 31 QTLs referring 5 traits, that is, plant height (PH), panicle number per plant (PN), chlorophyll content (CC), shoot dry weight (SDW) and grain y...

Inflorescence architecture is a key agronomical factor determining grain yield, and thus has been a major target of cereal crop domestication. Transition from a spread panicle typical of ancestral wild rice (Oryza rufipogon Griff.) to the compact panicle of present cultivars (O. sativa L.) was a crucial event in rice domestication. Here we show that the spread panicle architecture of wild rice ...
