Heterosis for Yield and Yield Components in Basmati Rice

Exploitation of heterosis loci for yield and yield components in rice using chromosome segment substitution lines

We constructed 128 chromosome segment substitution lines (CSSLs), derived from a cross between indica rice (Oryza sativa L.) 9311 and japonica rice Nipponbare, to investigate the genetic mechanism of heterosis. Three photo-thermo-sensitive-genic male sterile lines (Guangzhan63-4s, 036s, and Lian99s) were selected to cross with each CSSL to produce testcross populations (TCs). Field experiments ...

effect of seed priming and irrigation regimes on yield,yield components and quality of safflowers cultivars

این مطالعه در سال 1386-87 در آزمایشگاه و مزرعه پژوهشی دانشگاه صنعتی اصفهان به منظور تعیین مناسب ترین تیمار بذری و ارزیابی اثر پرایمینگ بر روی سه رقم گلرنگ تحت سه رژیم آبیاری انجام گرفت. برخی از مطالعات اثرات سودمند پرایمینگ بذر را بر روی گیاهان مختلف بررسی کرده اند اما در حال حاضر اطلاعات کمی در مورد خصوصیات مربوط به جوانه زنی، مراحل نموی، عملکرد و خصوصیات کمی و کیفی بذور تیمار شده ژنوتیپ های م...

Induced Genetic Variability for Yield and Yield Traits in Basmati Rice

The mutagenic effect of gamma rays, ethyl methane sulphonate (EMS) and sodium Azide (SA) used either singly or in combination were observed for induced genetic variability for yield and yield traits in M and 2 M generation in the two cultivars of Basmati rice. The observation mean range and coefficient of variation (CV) 3 suggest that the mutagen treatment had wider values than the control. The...

Heterosis and heritability for yield and yield components in F1 and F2 generations of a bean cross

Genetic composition of yield heterosis in an elite rice hybrid.

Heterosis refers to the superior performance of hybrids relative to the parents. Utilization of heterosis has contributed tremendously to the increased productivity in many crops for decades. Although there have been a range of studies on various aspects of heterosis, the key to understanding the biological mechanisms of heterotic performance in crop hybrids is the genetic basis, much of which ...
