Rice crop is sensitive to cold stress at seedling stage. A panel of population representing
304 shortlisted germplasm lines was studied for seedling stage chilling tolerance in indica …

Iron (Fe) toxicity is a major abiotic stress which severely reduces rice yield in many countries
of the world. Genetic variation for this stress tolerance exists in rice germplasms. Mapping of …

Rice is the staple food for majority of the global population. But, rice grain has low protein
content (PC). Mapping of QTLs controlling grain PC is essential for enhancement of the trait …

Estimation of genetic diversity is a prerequisite to select genetically diverse parents.
Availability and collection of genetically diverse parents contribute significantly towards the …

While the pleasant scent of aromatic rice is making it more popular, with demand for
aromatic rice expected to rise in future, varieties of this have low yield potential. Genetic …

Eighteen physio-biochemical traits influencing seed vigour were studied for their association
with molecular markers using a mini core set constituted from 120 germplasm lines. High …

Basmati rice has long been popular in Asia due to its distinctive natural aroma and
characteristic elongation of grains after cooking. Demand for Basmati is increasing …

The conservation and utilization of germplasm is contingent on its proper characterization at
morphological or molecular levels. The present study aimed to elucidate the population sub …

Knowledge of the genetic structure and diversity of germplasm collections is crucial for
sustainable genetic improvement through hybridization programs and rapid adaptation to …

South Kalimantan, Indonesia, has been known for hundred years ago with a better
adaptation to the local conditions, such as acidity, salinity, and metals contamination …
