Journal ArticleDOI
Marker-assisted selection to introgress rice QTLs controlling root traits into an Indian upland rice variety
TL;DR: A marker-assisted back-crossing (MABC) breeding programme was conducted to improve the root morphological traits of the Indian upland rice variety, Kalinga III, and selection for the recurrent parent allele at this locus produced early-flowering NILs that were suited for upland environments in eastern India.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breeding for abiotic stresses for sustainable agriculture.
TL;DR: There is good potential for directly breeding for adaptation to low N while retaining an ability to respond to high N conditions and a great potential of breeding genetic resistance for salinity and aluminium tolerance through the contributions of wild relatives.
Journal ArticleDOI
A combined RFLP and AFLP linkage map of upland rice (Oryza sativa L.) used to identify QTLs for root-penetration ability
TL;DR: Combined RFLP and AFLP linkage map of an F6 recombinant inbred population, derived from a previously mapped F2 of a cross between the two drought resistant upland rice varieties Bala and Azucena, suggests alleles which improve root penetration ability may also either make the roots longer or thicker.
Journal ArticleDOI
Upland rice grown in soil-filled chambers and exposed to contrasting water-deficit regimes: II. Mapping quantitative trait loci for root morphology and distribution
TL;DR: In this paper, the identification of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) associated with root morphology and other drought resistance-related traits should help breeders produce more drought resistant varieties. But root morphological characteristics are known to be important in the drought resistance of some rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties.
Journal ArticleDOI
Field evaluation of upland rice lines selected for QTLs controlling root traits
TL;DR: Overall, the Azucena introgressions increased straw yield more than grain yield, which fits with the assumption that introgressed genes are involved in partitioning of biomass to the roots and stems, rather than to the grain.
