Characterization and Genetic Analysis of a Very High Tillering and Dwarf Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Mutant. (August 2008) Dhananjay Mani, B.Sc. (Hons)., Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, India Co-Chairs of Advisory Committee: Dr. Rodante E. Tabien Dr. Scott A. Finlayson This study focused on characterizing and determining the inheritance pattern of very high tillering and dwarf traits of a ...

An experiment was conducted on nutrient management approaches using RDF, SSNM, STCR and expert under different rice ecosystem slow release nitrogen sources viz., neem coated urea supergranules. The initial final soil N content analyzed at active tillering, panicle initiation, milking stages harvest of direct seeded transplanted rice. three-way interaction (M x S) proved that a significantly hig...

Climate change over the past ∼50 years has resulted in earlier occurrence of plant life-cycle events for many species. Across temperate, boreal and polar latitudes, earlier seasonal warming is considered the key mechanism leading to earlier leaf expansion and growth. Yet, in seasonally snow-covered ecosystems, the timing of spring plant growth may also be cued by snowmelt, which may occur earli...

Proper branching and successful reproductive growth is of great importance for rice productivity. Substantial progress has been made in uncovering the molecular mechanisms underlying tillering control and spikelet sterility. However, rice tillering is developmentally controlled, and how it is regulated coordinately with reproductive growth remains unclear. This study characterized a rice mutant...

In the article results of researches on biological and economic efficiency a new herbicide Uniko, CSC (fluroxypyr, 100 g/l + florasulam, 2,5 g/l) AO “Shchelkovo Agrokhim”, Russia production are presented. It is determined that by this application in spring wheat barley at tillering stage, has made more than 90,0 %, crops weeding flag leaf stage – 80,0–85,0 for this, reliable yield increase 80,0...

Grasses produce tiller and panicle branching at vegetative and reproductive stages; the branching patterns largely define the diversity of grasses and constitute a major determinant for grain yield of many cereals. Here we show that a spatiotemporally coordinated gene network consisting of the MicroRNA 156 (miR156/)miR529/SQUAMOSA PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN LIKE (SPL) and miR172/APETALA2 (AP2) pa...
