Climate change is projected to have a serious impact on the yield potential of rice in tropical as well as in temperate countries. It is therefore essential to develop rice varieties which are climate change ready and with stable yield when grown under low inputs of irrigation water and fertilizer. In this study, the effects of the shift from temperate to tropical environment as well as the different...
Maize is not inherently tolerant to soil acidity but due to the ever increasing demand for the crop in the developing world, production of maize on acid soils continues to expand. Breeding for maize acid soil tolerance is the best strategy to improve yield under these conditions. Therefore, the current study was done to determine the general combining ability (GCA) of eight acid-soil tolerant and...
Sabitri is a rice variety grown in a large part of the rainfed areas of Nepal. It was originally developed for irrigated condition; hence, this variety suffers high yield decline under drought. Two QTLs, qDTY3.2 and qDTY12.1, with large effects on grain yield under drought were identified in the Sabitri background in separate QTL mapping studies. The present study reports the development of Sabitri...
Grain yield (GY) is a direct function of its components and these traits to being less complex and highly correlated with yield. The objectives of this study were to map Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) for GY and its components in maize lines and GY in their testcrosses, to verify its congruence and the possibility to select testcrosses from the predict means of the lines by using markers information...
