Screening of Anaerobic Germination Rice Genotypes in Nepal

Poor germination has been the main obstacles to widespread adoption of rainfed lowland rice production due saturated state soil, . In order produce types appropriate for direct seeded culture, current experiment was conducted find with anaerobic tolerance. The screening techniques tray method were used assess tolerance 402 different genotypes. Under conditions, genotypes 10 namely, IR 129077:1-1-6-8-B, 129077:1-1-6-9-B, 129077:2-1-16-8-B, 129077:1-1-36-5-B, 129077:1-1-41-7-B, 129077:1-1-46-6-B, 129077:2-1-17-6-B, 129077:1-1-31-5-B, 129077:1-1-39-8-B, 129077:2-1-13-7-B, 129077:2-1-17-7-B and 129077:2-1-28-7-B recorded highest percentages (> 80%). germination, coleoptile length all ranged from 0.50 10.6 cm. best performing chosen genotyping using previously published SSR markers based on results. On QTL analysis, (qAG) present Chromosome number 11 chromosome 12 higher (qCL) longer coleoptile. Int. J. Appl. Sci. Biotechnol. Vol 11(2): 78-84.
