Development of an intergeneric hybrid between L. and (A. Camus) Launert.

An intergeneric hybrid was successfully developed between L. (IRRI 154) and (A. Camus) Launert using embryo rescue technique in this study.

Development of Oryza sativa L. by Oryza punctata Kotschy ex Steud. monosomic addition lines with high value traits by interspecific hybridization.

This paper describes the development of monosomic alien addition and disomic introgression lines through a cross between autotetraploid indica rice and Oryza punctata toward tapping valuable traits for rice improvement. Oryza punctata is a distantly related wild Oryza species having BB genome with untapped genetic resources for rice improvement. Low crossability between the cultivated O.
