New rice breeding method promises higher yields and improved quality traits.
Genetic parameters for rice traits were studied using 10 parent plants and their 45 offspring. Dominant genetic components were found in traits like plant height, grain yield, and amylose content. Some traits had more dominant alleles, while others had more recessive alleles in the parents. Specific combinations of parent plants showed potential for improving grain yield, harvest index, and flag leaf area. Traits with high heritability and positive correlations with grain yield are promising for rice improvement. These parent plants can be used for breeding to enhance traits like yield and quality in rice.
