Genetic Diversity Among Irrigated Traditional and Modern Rice Germplasm

Genetic Diversity in Sadajira Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Germplasm

Genetic diversity of 40 traditional Bangladeshi rice genotypes was studied under rainfed condition through Mahalanobis D statistic for grain yield and yield contributing characters. The genotypes were grouped into six clusters. The inter-cluster distances were higher than intra-cluster distances indicating wider genetic diversity among the genotypes of different clusters. The intra-cluster dist...

Genetic Diversity of Nigerian Cashew Germplasm

GENETIC DIVERSITY ASSESSMENT OF RICE (Oryza sativa L.) GERMPLASM USING SSR MARKERS

Rice Diversity PIC SSR marker Diversity at molecular level among thirty rice genotypes, selected based on earliness and morphometric diversity was evaluated through five SSR markers associated with days to heading. Three primers viz., RM147, RM167 and RM215 showed polymorphism for growth duration related traits. A total of 17 alleles were detected among the 30 rice genotypes with an average of ...

Genetic Diversity of Upland Rice Germplasm in Malaysia Based on Quantitative Traits

Genetic diversity is prerequisite for any crop improvement program as it helps in the development of superior recombinants. Fifty Malaysian upland rice accessions were evaluated for 12 growth traits, yield and yield components. All of the traits were significant and highly significant among the accessions. The higher magnitudes of genotypic and phenotypic coefficients of variation were recorded...

Genetic diversity analysis of rice germplasm lines for yield attributing traits

Genetic divergence is an efficient tool for the selection of parents used in hybridization programme. In the present study, fifty three rice genotypes consisting of high yielding rice varieties/ cultures and IRRI germplasm lines were raised at Rice Research Station, Tirur during Sornavari, 2009 to identify diverse genotypes. They were evaluated for eight yield and yield attributing characters u...
