Rice is globally a major food crop and its production has progressively been affected by
various types of abiotic stresses especially drought, flooding, salinity, heat and cold in most …

In the present study, heterobeltiosis and standard heterosis were estimated on 36 F1s
obtained through half-diallel mating design for yield and quality traits. For yield per plant …

Exploitation of heterosis in the form of hybrid rice is yet to be exploited at commercial level in
the temperate regions of India. The present study is attempted to develop rice hybrids for the …

The present investigation in aromatic rice (Oryza sativa L.) was undertaken for studying the
magnitude of heterosis in 28 hybrids (F1s) made by following 8x8 one way diallel mating …

The grain size is considered to be one of the complex traits affecting rice yield as it is
directed by multifaceted gene combinations. In the present experiment, 34 pollen parents …

Exploitation of hybrid vigour is one of the most important applications of genetics in
agriculture. It has highly contributed to food security, without affecting the environment. The …

Increased crop failures caused by unpredictability in the weather pose an immediate threat
to livelihood systems dependent on agriculture that are already at threat from a significant …

Rice is one of the most consumed food crops in the world and therefore possesses huge
socio-economic relevance. Combining ability estimates provide the basis for selection of …

Heterosis for yield, yield components and quality traits of 54 hybrids developed by using
three CMS lines and eighteen allocytoplasmic restorers developed by recombination …

Field pea is a rabi crop and has huge potential in national and international market. Being
legume crop, it improves soil fertility due to fixation of nitrogen. The present research was …
