PROMISING RICE MUTANTS WITH HIGH YIELDS, GOOD GRAIN QUALITY, AND DISEASE RESISTANCE DUE TO IRRADIATION TECHNOLOGY

Three rice genotypes of NPT4, NPT5, and QP-5 were successfully selected through mutation breeding using Co60 gamma rays with 250-300 Gy. Of the three lines, two genotypes, NPT4 and NPT5, obtained high yields of 8.9- 9.2 tonnes/ha, had growth duration of 103-110 days in the season of autumn and 130-1[r]

Observations were recorded on five randomly selected plants for grain yield per plant; days to 50 per cent flowering; and the quality characters, namely, head rice recovery per cent, amy[r]

1. Introduction
Recently, there has been an increased interest in using body area networks (BANs) for health monitoring [ 1 – 7 ]. A variety of physiological electrical signals from the human body can be continuously monitored wirelessly, including brain waves (EEG or electroencephalography), hear[r]

The excellent grain quality of IR64 has become the standard for rice quality requirements in a number of countries. Because of its popularity with farmers, IR64 has been used widely as a parent in rice breeding, as a recipient of new genes through marker-assisted backcrossing and genetic transformat[r]

The cracking or partial fissuring of rice kernels may occur right in the paddy field due to incorrect harvesting time and improper harvesting practices, and occur also because of adverse post-harvest drying conditions and inappropriate milling operations. We[r]

Fusarium graminearum, one of the causal agents of Fusarium Head Blight (FHB, scab), leads to severe losses in grain yield and quality due to the production of mycotoxins which are harmful to human and livestock.

Evaluation of twenty traditional rice varieties grown in Karnataka, as a dehusked grain was performed with respect to Phytochemical and Antioxidant capacity.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) reported remarkable achievements in several solid tumours. However, in metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) promising results are limited to patients with deficient mismatch repair/microsatellite instability-high (dMMR/MSI-high) tumours due to their immune-enriched[r]

Increases in rice grain yield depend on introduction of potential cultivars including hybrids into Andaman and Nicobar islands that with small acreage (5340 ha) won’t merit developing hybrids locally. The objective of this study was to evaluate newly released hybrids and high yielding varieties of r[r]

Single CRP in combination with RNSOS can be used for rapid identification of neonates with sepsis due to high sensitivity (95.6%) but cannot exclude those without sepsis due to low specificity (56.4%). Serial CRP done 12hrs apart can be used to exclude non-cases. This study demonstrated very high le[r]

The current investigation was performed with two major objectives: Assessment of BPH resistance of the batch of converged rice cultivars and local rice varieties; Phylogenetic analysis and using marker molecular-based breeding methods to develop the excellent 2-3 cultivars with sustained resistance[r]

To generate the novel rice lines/varieties with high-yielding and low chalkiness ratio for the improvement of chalkiness traits of rice grains on the high-yielding rice varieties with the help of Microsatellitemolecular markers linked with the genes that control chalkiness characteristics on chromos[r]

IMPROVE QUALITY The most important issue currently was to maintain a good quality of export rice products and target the left out export markets, especially China, since it would emerge [r]

In the present investigation rice genotype HUR-105 was selected to see the effect of seed priming on yield attributes and grain quality of rice. Priming of seeds has been done with distilled water (hydro), Mg(NO3)2 salt (halo) and kinetin (T3), salicylic acid (hormonal) and different parameters, suc[r]

Neo-adjuvant chemoradiotherapy followed by surgery is the standard treatment with curative intent for oesophageal cancer patients, with 5-year overall survival rates up to 50 %. However, patients’ quality of life is severely compromised by oesophagectomy, and eventually many patients die due to meta[r]

Although rice resistance plays an important role in controlling the brown planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata lugens, not all varieties have the same level of protection against BPH infestation. Understanding the molecular interactions in rice defense response is an important tool to help to reveal unexp[r]

In providing new telecommunication (telecom) services, the requisition for quality of network is more and more popular and sophisticated with high bandwidth, small value of delay time or packet loss etc. To assure the quality of network, the scheme of Quality of Service (QoS) routing algorithm based[r]

Biliary tract cancer (BTC) has a high mortality. Primary diagnosis is frequently delayed due to mostly unspecific symptoms, resulting in a high number of advanced cases at the time of diagnosis. Advanced BTCs are in principle chemotherapy sensitive as determined by improved disease control, survival[r]

Sorghum commonly is eaten with the hull (the outer layer of the grain), which retains the majority of the nutrients. Sorghum has excellent chemical and physical properties, which make it a grain of good quality for processing different types of products. The nutrient composition of sorghum grain ind[r]

The pathogen is adaptable to adverse environmental conditions of widely fluctuating temperatures and relative humidity. It appears in irrigated low land or rain fed upland rice as well as in submerged or deep water rice. Rice was important crop in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states and losses[r]
