Development and evaluation of introgression lines with yield enhancing genes of the Indian mega-variety of rice, MTU1010 Open
MTU 1010 is an early maturing and high-yielding mega rice variety widely grown in an area of 3 Mha. It is characterised by limited grain number and panicle branching. To improve the grain number in MTU 1010, an IRRI breeding line, IR121055…

DETECTION OF FUNCTIONALLY IMPORTANT RESIDUES ON SUCROSE PHOSPHATE SYNTHASE THROUGH IN SILICO SEQUENCE-STRUCTURE ANALYSIS Open
Sucrose phosphate synthase (SPS) is an important enzyme in the two-step biosynthesis of sucrose in photosynthetic organisms. SPS catalyzes the formation of Sucrose-6-phosphate which is subsequently converted to sucrose. SPS is believed to …

Marker-assisted pyramiding of two major broad-spectrum bacterial blight resistance genes,<i>Xa21</i>and<i>Xa33</i>into an elite maintainer line of rice, DRR17B Open
Bacterial blight (BB) disease reduces the yield of rice varieties and hybrids considerably in many tropical rice growing countries like India. The present study highlights the development of durable BB resistance into the background of an …
