To determine gene action and heritability of grain yield related traits in rice, six rice varieties including Hashemi, Vandana, Kadous, Hassani, Shahpasand and IR36 were crossed in a diallel design in 2010. The parents and seeds of F1 generation (36 genotypes) were grown in a completely randomized block design with three replications at the Research Field of the Rice Research Institute of Iran-...

The brown spot disease is one of the seed-borne diseases of rice, found in the all stages of its growth from nursery to farm. It causes qualitative and quantitative damage on rice. Therefore, some studies carried out on the different aspects of this disease and the reaction of some cultivars of rice against the pathogenic fungous agent of the diseases. To do so, 120 isolates, isolated from plan...

In this study, genetic diversity was evaluated for 40 landraces and improved rice genotypes by inter-simple sequence repeat (ISSR), IRAP (Inter-Retrotransposon Amplified) and REM (Retro transposon-Microsatellite AmplifiedPolymorphism) marker systems. Amplified productions of 20 primers indicated distinct and polymorphic bands among genotypes that produced a total of 309 bands and an average of ...
