Rice grain discoloration is a complex disorder which occurs due to the infection of various microorganism(s) on glumes/kernels or both. A study was conducted on the discoloration of existing rice germplasm and potential sources for resistance to be utilized in future breeding programs. 200 rice lines (land races, approved varieties and advanced breeding lines) were collected from Plant Genetic Resources Institute (PGRI), National Agricultural Research Centre (NARC) Islamabad Pakistan; Rice Research Institute (RRI) at Kala Shah Kaku, Pakistan; International Rice Research Institute (IRRI), Philippines; China National Rice Research Institute (CNRRI), China and United States Department of Agriculture, United States of America. Rice germplasm were sown at Rice Research Institute (RRI), Kala Shah Kaku and tested in terms of their phenotype expression. The experiment was designed in a three .. Read More»
