Correlation Studies in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Seventy genotypes of rice (Oryza sativa L.) were evaluated during Kharif 2012 to study the nature and extent of correlation among yield and yield attributing characters, days to 50 per cent flowering, days to maturity, number of effective tillers per plant, plant height, panicle length, number of grains per panicle, 1000-grain weight, grain yield per plant, kernel length, kernel breadth and L/B...

Optimization of ammonium acquisition and metabolism by potassium in rice (Oryza sativa L. cv. IR-72).

ABSTRACT We present the first characterization of K(+) optimization of N uptake and metabolism in an NH(4)(+)-tolerant species, tropical lowland rice (cv. IR-72). (13)N radiotracing showed that increased K(+) supply reduces futile NH(4)(+) cycling at the plasma membrane, diminishing the excessive rates of both unidirectional influx and efflux. Pharmacological testing showed that low-affinity NH...

How Rice (Oryza sativa L.), a Semi-Aquatic Plant Adapt to Natural Flood or Submerged Condition? A Physiological Perspective (Bagaimana Padi (Oryza sativa L.), Suatu Tumbuhan Akuatik Menyesuaikan Diri dalam Keadaan Banjir Semula Jadi atau Tenggelam? Suatu Perspektif Fisiologi)

The deficiency of oxygen in water during submergence is one of the frequently perceived environmental factors that limits or hampers production of the rice cultivation. Rice plants comprise of elongated submerged tissues that help to bear with the rise of water level in natural location. This characteristic helps the plant to deal with flooding stress. The mechanism on flooding tolerance and ad...

DIVERSITY ANALYSIS IN BORO RICE ( Oryza sativa L . ) ACCESSIONS

An experiment was conducted with 36 accessions of traditional (local) Boro rice germplasm accessions of three different groups (20 accessions as Kaliboro, 12 as Jagliboro and 4 as Tepiboro) during Boro season 2004 at BRRI farm to identify the duplicates with the help of morph-agronomic characters. On the basis of D values, the 36 genotypes were grouped into six clusters with a range of intra (0...
