Job overview

  • GENETIC DIVERSITY ANALYSIS OF 3K RICE GENOTYPES BASED ON YIELD TRAITS AND REPRODUCTIVE HEAT TOLERANCE

The present investigation entitled “Genetic diversity analysis of 3k rice genotypes based on yield traits and reproductive heat tolerance” was carried out with hundred genotypes of rice with a view to identify the heat tolerant genotypes,
study the nature and magnitude of variability, degree of association between yield and its components, direct and indirect effects of the different characters on yield, genetic divergence for selection of parents for hybridization programs.

The identified heat tolerant lines will improve yields to farmer by 50% in heat stress conditions.
