The second (M2) generation Shin-Foong Chin* and Department of Agriculture, University of Queensland, Geoff H. Gordon St. Lucia, Queensland 4067, Australia. Surviving Ml plants derived from pollination with irradiated pollen were selfed to produce the second (M2) generation. in three quantitative traits, the means and phenotypic frequency distributions of the M2 populations were identical to that of the F2 population. In five major gene traits, all but six of the 244 M2 segregations were in the expected ratios is the F2's. Aberrant segregations produced both excess paternal as well as maternal phenotypes. There was no consistent trend of a "maternal shift" in the M2 generation that may render the technique of irradiated pollination useful by preferentially producing pure breeding maternal materials having a few specific paternal characteristics. Qverall, pollination with irradiated pollen in rice produced mainly normal hybrid progeny with very little heritable variations. These lack of responses in rice may be explained by the fact that rice pollen is relatively insensitive to irradiation on the one hand, and that the pollen genome is less able to accommodate mutational damage on the other hand. Thus, the rice plant is considered less amenable to the application of irradiated pollination as a practical breeding technique. INTRODUCTION all the Ml progeny were either normal hybrid plants indistinguishable from the Fl controls, or Theuse of irradiated pollen to transfer single genes were hemizygous recessive plants in which certain from the pollen parent to the seed parent in cross- dominant paternal alleles were lost.

Recently, the agronomic traits of DOA1 and DOA2 were altered, affecting yield and cooking quality. Thus, the objectives of this study were to evaluate the agronomic traits and cooking quality of DOA1 and DOA2 and those of exotic japonica varieties in different locations, including the Kamphaeng Saen and Phan districts (WS16). DOA2 was improved by pure-line selection. The results showed that the Phan district was better suited to grow japonica varieties than the Kamphaeng Saen district and that DOA2 produced high grain yields in both locations. Furthermore, DOA2 was selected by the pure-line method in four generations, after which five candidate lines, Tana1 to Tana5, were selected for yield trials. The results of yield trials in three seasons (WS17, DS17/18, WS18) confirmed that Tana1 showed high performance in terms of its agronomic traits and grain yield.

Information regarding the stability of genotypes is critical in expanding the adaptability of released genotypes. But, this information regarding the basmati (scented) rice genotypes cultivated under north Indian conditions are not well known. Therefore, here we have evaluated the twenty-two basmati rice genotypes for stability, based on important traits, and different production system. Genotypes were evaluated for two consecutive Kharif seasons under open field conditions in a randomized complete block design (RCBD). The genotypes were evaluated under four production systems namely, transplanted rice (TPR), system of rice intensification (SRI), direct seeded rice (DSR) in both settings, i.e. wet DSR (W) and dry DSR (D). The stability of genotypes was determined via Eberhart and Russell model, additive main effects and multiplicative interaction (AMMI), and genotype × environment interaction (GGE) biplot model. The stability and adaptability studied using Eberhart and Russell model, AMMI and GGE biplot identified Basmati-370 as the most stable genotype for biological weight; Pusa RH-10 for filled spikelet; CSR-30 for spikelet Number; and Traori Basmati for test grain weight.

  • A Study on the Preparation of Modified Starch from Broken Rice
    J. Myanmar Acad. Arts Sci. 2020 Vol. XVIII. No.1C A STUDY ON THE PREPARATION OF MODIFIED STARCH FROM BROKEN RICE Htet Htet Aung1, Khin Hla Mon2, Ohnmar Kyi3, Mon Mon Maung4,Aye Aye Aung5 Abstract This research was emphasized on the preparation of modified broken rice starch using both acid treatment method and cross-link method. Broken rice (Paw Hsan Hmwe) was collected from Bago Township, Bago Region. The most suitable parameters for the preparation of native starch were 1:8 (w/v) ratio of broken rice to water at 4 hr settling time. The optimum conditions for the preparation of modified broken rice starch by acid treatment were 1 mL of 10% HCl, 1mL of 1% NaOH at reaction temperature 65C for 15 min of reaction time. In cross-link method, the optimum parameters were 5mL of 2.5% sodium tripolyphosphate,5mL of 1% NaOH, 5mL of 5 % HCl at 45C for 10 min. The characteristics of modified starch such as ash, moisture, pH and gelatinization temperature, solubility, swelling power, amylose and amylopectin content were determined. The morphology properties, molecular components and structures of native and modified broken rice were determined with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and FT-IR Analysis. Keywords: Native starches, acid treatment method, cross-link method Introduction Starch is a basis of food and plays a major role in industrial economy. The most abundant substance in nature is starch. Starch consists of semi crystalline carbohydrate synthesized in plant roots, seeds, rhizomes and tubers. It is a polymer of glucose and consists of two types of glucose polymers such as amylose and amylopectin.

African rice has potential for breeding for climate resilience and adapting rice cultivation to climate change. Over the last decade, there have been tremendous technological and analytical advances in genomics that have dramatically altered the landscape of rice research. Here we review the remarkable advances in knowledge that have been witnessed in the last few years in the area of genetics and genomics of African rice. Advances in cheap DNA sequencing technologies have fuelled development of numerous genomic and transcriptomic resources. Genomics has been pivotal in elucidating the genetic architecture of important traits thereby providing a basis for unlocking important trait variation. Whole genome re-sequencing studies have provided great insights on the domestication process, though key studies continue giving conflicting conclusions and theories. However, the genomic resources of African rice appear to be under-utilized as there seems to be little evidence that these vast resources are being productively exploited for example in practical rice improvement programmes.

  • ITCHGRASS (Rottboellia Cochinchinensis) from COSTA RICA1
    Molecular basis for resistance to fluazifop-P-butyl in itchgrass ... 143 MOLECULAR BASIS FOR RESISTANCE TO FLUAZIFOP-P-BUTYL IN ITCHGRASS (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) FROM COSTA RICA1 Base Molecular para Resistência a Fluazifop-P-Butyl em Capim-Camalote (Rottboellia cochinchinensis) da Costa Rica CASTILLO-MATAMOROS, R.2, BRENES-ANGULO, A.2, HERRERA-MURILLO, F.3, and GÓMEZ-ALPÍZAR. L.2 ABSTRACT - Rottboellia cochinchinensis is an annual grass weed species known as itchgrass, or “caminadora” in America´s Spanish speaking countries, and has become a major and troublesome weed in several crops. The application of fluazifop-P-butyl at recommended rates (125 g a.i. ha-1) was observed to be failing to control itchgrass in a field in San José, Upala county, Alajuela province, Costa Rica. Plants from the putative resistant R. cochinchinensis population survived fluazifop-P-butyl when treated with 250 g a.i. ha-1 (2X label rate) at the three- to four-leaf stage under greenhouse conditions. PCR amplification and sequencing of partial carboxyl transferase domain (CT) of the acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase) gene were used to determine the molecular mechanism of resistance. A single non-synonymous point mutation from TGG (susceptible plants) to TGC (putative resistant plants) that leads to a Trp-2027-Cys substitution was found. This Trp-2027-Cys mutation is known to confer resistance to all aryloxyphenoxyproprionate (APP) herbicides to which fluazifop-P-butyl belongs. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of fluazifop-P-butyl resistance and a mutation at position 2027 for a Costa Rican R. cochinchinensis population.
