Heterosis under aerobic condition in hybrid Rice
نویسندگان
چکیده
An experiment was undertaken to identify heterotic rice hybrids for aerobic condition based on physiological and root characters associated with water stress tolerance in rice. Panicle harvest index, a substitute for spikelet fertility is used as a secondary trait in the selection of drought tolerant genotypes. Deep roots are required to explore the soil profile for effectively absorbing water at deeper layers. A cultivar which partitions more of its dry weight in root can explore more soil volume for extracting water and thus can effectively sustain drought. Four hybrids viz., IR 68885A / IR 73718-3-1-3-3, IR 67684A / CT-6510-24-12, IR 70369A / IR 73718-3-1-3-3 and IR 70372A/ PSBRC 80 exhibited heterotic vigour for yield and maximum number of yield components and showed better adaptability to aerobic conditions. These hybrids can be commercially exploited under aerobic condition.

Quantitative studies for investigating variation and its effect on heterosis of rice
An important step in plant breeding programs is identification of parents that are geneticallydistant from each other, to find crossing combinations with better prospects of hybrid vigor. Thepotential of identifying genetically distant parents depends on genetic diversity of population. 58 linesof rice from diverse origins have been employed to study genetic variation in order to identify themo...

Identification of maintainer and restorers from rice germplasm through test crossing is the initial step in three line heterosis breeding. Maintainer lines can be converted into cytoplasmic male sterile lines to utilize in development of rice hybrids. Restorer lines can be used as males to produce F1 hybrids. Three hundred F2 plants of the cross KCMS 26A X IET 19886 were grown under aerobic sit...
متن کاملIntegrated analysis of phenome, genome, and transcriptome of hybrid rice uncovered multiple heterosis-related loci for yield increase.
Hybrid rice is the dominant form of rice planted in China, and its use has extended worldwide since the 1970s. It offers great yield advantages and has contributed greatly to the world's food security. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying heterosis have remained a mystery. In this study we integrated genetics and omics analyses to determine the candidate genes for yield heterosis in a m...

To understand the genetic basis of inbreeding depression and heterosis in rice, main-effect and epistatic QTL associated with inbreeding depression and heterosis for grain yield and biomass in five related rice mapping populations were investigated using a complete RFLP linkage map of 182 markers, replicated phenotyping experiments, and the mixed model approach. The mapping populations included...
متن کاملDo rice hybrids have heterosis for insect resistance? A study with Nilaparvata lugens (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) and Marasmia patnalis (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae).
Antibiosis-based resistance to two insect pests of rice, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) (Hemiptera: Delphacidae) and Marasmia patnalis Bradley (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae), was compared in 11 F1 hybrids and their parental lines. Our objective was to determine whether hybrids show heterosis (hybrid vigor) for insect resistance or susceptibility. Heterosis is defined as the amount by which a hybrid exceed...
