Abstract
Rice is a significant staple crop that provides food and livelihoods for millions of people worldwide. However, climate change and frequent cyclonic storms with heavy rains during grain maturation periods have led to a significant reduction in rice yield and quality (20–30%) due to pre-harvest sprouting (PHS) damage. PHS has become a widespread issue globally, resulting in significant economic losses for Indian farmers, amounting to billions of rupees annually and severely impacting the country’s economy. Developing protocol and PHS-resistant rice genotypes is essential to mitigate the significant economic losses experienced by farmers and meet the growing demand for food grain with the increasing population. This study was aimed to developing the efficient protocol to identify PHS-resistant rice genotypes by evaluating 96 genotypes under laboratory and field conditions at 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 days after flowering (DAF). To evaluate the PHS resistant genotypes we have developed the efficient and standard protocol for the present study. The results showed a positive correlation between phenotypic responses under laboratory and field conditions. Based on the germination percentage exhibited under laboratory and field conditions, the genotypes were grouped into four clusters using K-clustering and dendrogram clustering analysis. Out of 96 genotypes evaluated 19 grouped as highly susceptible (45 to 88%), 14 were moderately susceptible (10 to 45%), 51 were moderately resistant (0.10 to 10.00%), and 12 were highly resistant with zero percent germination at all flowering stages. The study also evaluated the genotypes for days to germination from 20 to 40 DAF. The highly susceptible genotypes germinated earlier (3 days) than moderately susceptible and resistant genotypes (4 to 6 days). Zero days were assigned to highly resistant genotypes since no germination was recorded. In nutshell, the novel PHS-resistant rice genotypes identified in this study could serve as donors for future crop improvement programs.
期刊介绍：
Russian Journal of Plant Physiology is a leading journal in phytophysiology. It embraces the full spectrum of plant physiology and brings together the related aspects of biophysics, biochemistry, cytology, anatomy, genetics, etc. The journal publishes experimental and theoretical articles, reviews, short communications, and descriptions of new methods. Some issues cover special problems of plant physiology, thus presenting collections of articles and providing information in rapidly growing fields. The editorial board is highly interested in publishing research from all countries and accepts manuscripts in English.
