Optimum growing temperature is necessary for maximum yield-potential in any crop. The global atmospheric changing more rapidly and irregularly every year. High at the flowering/reproductive stage rice causes partial to complete pollen sterility, resulting significant reduction grain yield. Green Super Rice (GSR) an effort develop elite type that can withstand multiple environmental stresses mai...

A study was conducted on genetics of some important agronomic traits (number of productive tillers per hill, plant height (cm), panicle length (cm), number of spikelets per panicle and 100-grain weight) in rice during 2012-13. Two lines were crossed with five testers in line × tester fashion to produce 10 F1 hybrids. Analysis of variance revealed significant differences among genotyp...

In order to evaluate genetic diversity of grain yield, nitrogen uptake efficiency and selecting superior varieties, a factorial experiment with the based on Complete Blocks design with four replications was carried out in Saatlo agricultural research station, six corn genotypes (single cross 301,370,540,700,701 and Back cross) and three amounts of nitrogen fertilizer (urea) (27 as a control, 11...

The present research aims to study the association and allelic diversity of linked microsatellite markers to grain quality QTLs of 84 exotic rice genotypes. To this end, 9 microsatellite markers (RM540, RM539, RM587, RM527, RM216, RM467, RM3188, RM246, RM5461) were used in which a total of 61 alleles were identified with a mean of 6 alleles per locus. The polymorphism information content (PIC) ...

Aflatoxin contamination and its relationship to storage length in stored maize and rice in Liaoning Province, northeastern China, was investigated. Aflatoxins in 110 samples collected from an area of 14.68million km covering storage length from 1 yr to over 10 yr were determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. The results showed that almost all samples col...

The extreme stress tolerance and high nutritional value of sand rice (Agriophyllum squarrosum) make it attractive for use as an alternative crop in response to concerns about ongoing climate change and future food security. However, a lack of genetic information hinders understanding of the mechanisms underpinning the morphological and physiological adaptations of sand rice. In the present stud...
