One hundred forty one basmati rice genotypes collected from different geographic regions of
North Western Himalayas were characterized using 40 traits linked microsatellite markers …

Abstract Background Rice (Oryza sativa L.) germplasm represents an extraordinary source
of genes that control traits of agronomic importance such as drought tolerance. This diversity …

Abstract Background Hill rices (Oryza sativa L.) are direct seeded rices grown on hill slopes
of different gradients. These landraces have evolved under rainfed and harsh environmental …

Although the genetic diversity of rice germplasm has been well characterized globally, few
studies have taken an in-depth view of a large number of rice landraces on a local scale. To …

Background Unigene sequences constitute a rich source of functionally relevant
microsatellites. The present study was undertaken to mine the microsatellites in the …

Abstract Background Simple sequence repeats (SSRs) have been successfully used for
various genetic and evolutionary studies in eukaryotic systems. The eukaryotic model …
