Prediction of Heterosis in Crop Plants – Status and Prospects

Passoupathy Rajendrakumar, Krishna Hariprasanna & Nadoor Seetharama · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2015

Heterosis has been commercially exploited in many crops; however, its genetic and molecular basis is still not clear. The availability of advanced genomic tools has encouraged several research groups to dissect heterosis into genetic components. Prediction of heterosis using mole...

Assessment of Genetic Diversity of Elite Indian Rice Varieties Using Agro-Morphological Traits and SSR Markers

Keshavulu Kunusoth, Krishnasamy Vadivel, Raman Meenakshi Sundaram, Razia Sultana, Passoupathy Rajendrakumar, Sheshumadhav Maganti, Lella V. Subbarao & Sebastian Reyes Chin-Wo · Journal of Experimental Agriculture International · 2015

Assessment of genetic variability of the crop varieties is essential to assure selection of genetically divergent lines useful for the future breeding programmes. Thus, genetic diversity assessment of 24 elite Indian rice varieties was performed based on 24 agro-morphological tra...
