marker-assisted selection to introgress rice qtls controlling root traits into an indian upland rice variety. | a marker-assisted back-crossing (mabc) breeding programme was conducted to improve the root morphological traits, and thereby drought tolerance, of the indian upland rice variety, kalinga iii. this variety, the recurrent parent in the mabc, had not previously been used for quantitative trait locus (qtl) mapping. the donor parent was azucena, an upland japonica variety from philippines. five segments on different chromosomes were targeted for introgression; four segments carried qtls for improved ... | 2006 | 16208503 |
prominent artificial radionuclide activity in the environment of coastal karnataka on the southwest coast of india. | studies on radiation level and radionuclide distribution in the environment of coastal karnataka were undertaken to provide baseline data for the future assessment of the impact of the nuclear and thermal power stations that are being set up in the region and to understand the behaviour of radionuclides in the environment. as part of the programme the concentrations of two important artificial radionuclides, namely 90sr and 137cs, have been measured in a number of environmental samples. the conc ... | 2000 | 11008934 |
