Optical analysis of RE (RE = Eu,Tb):MgLa V O nano-phosphors.

Red and green rare-earth ion (RE ) (RE = Eu, Tb):MgLa V O micro-powder phosphors were produced utilizing a standard solid-state chemical process. The X-ray diffraction examination performed on the phosphors showed that they were crystalline and had a monoclinic structure. The particles grouped together, as shown in the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images.

Molecular and Morphological Characterization of Introgression Lines with Resistance to Bacterial Leaf Blight and Blast in Rice.

The present study evaluates marker assisted forward breeding (MAFB)-derived disease resistant introgression lines (ILs) which do not have the targeted resistance genes for bacterial blight () and blast ( + ). The ILs were derived in the background of two elite rice cultivars, Krishna Hamsa [Recurrent Parent 1 (RP1)] and WGL 14 (RP2), involving multi-parent inter-crossing. Molecular characterization with gene specific markers for seven reported resistance genes each for bacterial blight (, , , , , and ) and blast (, , , , , and ) revealed the presence of and , in addition to the targeted , and for bacterial blight resistance and , , , , and , in addition to the targeted and , for blast resistance in various combinations.

DRR Dhan 58, a Seedling Stage Salinity Tolerant NIL of Improved Samba Mahsuri Shows Superior Performance in Multi-location Trials.

Background: Improved Samba Mahsuri (ISM) is an elite, high-yielding, bacterial blight resistant, fine-grained rice variety with low glycaemic index. It is highly sensitive to salt stress, particularly at seedling stage, which significantly reduces its yield potential in coastal areas. A salinity tolerant QTL, Saltol, associated with seedling stage tolerance was previously mapped on chromosome 1 (10.

Whole genome sequencing data of native isolates of and having potential biocontrol and plant growth promotion activities in rice.

Six native isolates of and having potential for biocontrol and plant growth-promoting activities in rice were isolated from different rice growing regions of India. These isolates were screened for their efficiency in both and conditions for three years. The identity of the isolates was confirmed both by morphological and molecular characterization.

Mapping novel QTLs for yield related traits from a popular rice hybrid KRH-2 derived doubled haploid (DH) population.

Unlabelled: A doubled haploid (DH) population consisting of 125 DHLs derived from the popular rice hybrid, KRH-2 (IR58025A/KMR3R) was utilized for Quantitative Trait Loci (QTL) mapping to identify novel genomic regions associated with yield related traits. A genetic map was constructed with 126 polymorphic SSR and EST derived markers, which were distributed across rice genome. QTL analysis using inclusive composite interval mapping (ICIM) method identified a total of 24 major and minor effect QTLs.
