RESEARCH OT ANDROGENESIS IN VITRO OF RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.)

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...

The extent of linkage disequilibrium in rice (Oryza sativa L.).

Despite its status as one of the world's major crops, linkage disequilibrium (LD) patterns have not been systematically characterized across the genome of Asian rice (Oryza sativa). Such information is critical to fully exploit the genome sequence for mapping complex traits using association techniques. Here we characterize LD in five 500-kb regions of the rice genome in three major cultivated ...

In vitro screening for salt tolerance in Rice ( Oryza sativa )

An experiment was conducted to study the performance of rice genotypes for salt tolerance under in vitro condition. Seven genotypes include salt tolerant (Pokkali, CSR 10, TRY 1 and TRY2), moderately tolerant to salt (White Ponni and BPT 5204) and susceptible (IR 29) were used for this study through embryo culture technique. Callus was initiated in MS medium + 2 mgl 2,4D + 0.5 mgl Kin and diffe...

Iron Bioavailability and Arsenic Uptake in Rice (Oryza sativa L.)

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...
