A study was conducted on genetics of some important agronomic traits (number of productive tillers per hill, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), number of spikelets per panicle and 100-grain weight) in rice during 2012-13. Two lines were crossed with five testers in line × tester fashion to produce 10 F1 hybrids. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotyp...

Effective panicle number, grain number, and grain weight are the three components of rice yield, of which grain number shows the highest variation and makes the largest contribution to yield output.Rice panicle number per plant is a grain yield component that directly influences rice yield. The identification of the genes controlling panicle number will play a vital role in high-yield rice bree...

The panicle architecture of rice is an important characteristic that influences reproductive success and yield. It is largely determined by the number and length of the primary and secondary branches. The number of panicle branches is defined by the inflorescence meristem state between determinacy and indeterminacy; for example, the maize ramosa2 (ra2) mutant has more branches in its tassel thr...

seven rice varieties (hassani, deilmani, sepidrod, shahpasand, saleh, neda, and irfaon215) along with their complete diallel progenies were grown in a randomized complete block design of three replications in the growing seasons of 2006 and 2007 and were evaluated for the quantitative traits of: number of days to flowering, flag leaf length, width and area, plant height, panicle length, extrusi...

Six parent diallel cross without reciprocal was studied to investigate the genetic behavior of different agronomic traits in rice. The analysis of Wr-Vr graph showed that panicle length, thousand grain weight and grain yield per plant did not follow the additivedominance model indicating epistatic gene action responsible for the expression of these traits. All other traits under the study were ...

The results indicated that the seed yield per plant showed a significant positive correlation with most of traits like days to 50% flowering, height, filled grains panicle, number spikelet fertility, flag leaf width, numbers tillers plant, effective panicle length and 100 weight, representing importance these for development great yielding varieties in contrast trait sterility has been reported...
