Sequencing of S5 gene in autotetraploid rice japonica and indica to overcome F1 hybrids embryo sac sterility

Autotetraploid rice is a new germplasm developed through diploid chromosome doubling. Hybrids developed by indica autotetraploid rice crossed by japonica autotetraploid rice has clear biological advantage on F1, causing widespread concerns for special research evolution to evaluate and utilize F1 hybrid vigor. However, the widespread fertility of F1 indica and japonica autotetraploid rice is low, which makes it...

Genetic variability, heritability and genetic advance among yield and yield related traits of advanced Tef [Eragrostis tef (Zucc.) Trotter] breeding lines

In Ethiopia, tef is one of the most significant crops that are grown extensively as a staple cereal crop. The evaluation of genetic variability in crop species is one of the key activities in plant breeding, which supports in the creation of breeding strategies to meet a diversify objectives. A field experiment was therefore conducted to determine genetic variability, heritability, and genetic advanced for yield and...
