Title |
Objectives |
| 1 |
Identification
and isolation of yield genes from Oryza rufipogon |
- Validation of
desired QTL in population
- Amplification
of yield locus
- Comparative
studies on sequences
|
| 2 |
Identification of
yield related genes in cereals for yield enhancement in rice |
-
Identification of yield related genes in cereals/grass
- Gene transfer
- Evaluation of
traits in cultivars produced
|
| 3 |
Improvement of
rice yield through molecular breeding |
-
Identification of exotic germplasm and elite cultivars for
backcrosses
- Scoring and
measurement of yield traits
- Analysis of
populations using SSR markers
- Linkage map
construction and QTL mapping
-
Identification of loci that are yield related
|
| 4 |
Breaking the
yield ceiling of rice through gene/genome manipulation |
-
To identify developmental stages during grain
fill from rice varieties with poor and good grain fill
-
To identify genes induced at grain fill
-
To characterize these genes by Northern, Southern
and in situ hybridization analysis
-
Identify
biological function of candidate gene/s via transgenic analysis
