Sentence examples for resources of rice from inspiring English sources

Considering the difficulties involved in genotypic and phenotypic characterization of the huge set of available germplasm resources of rice, efforts have been made currently in India to constitute the core and mini-core collections in rice by identifying the largest amount of genetic diversity with a minimum number of accessions.

These readily available core/mini-core germplasm resources of rice have been phenotyped for diverse agronomic traits, including yield component and abiotic/biotic stress tolerance traits at different geographical locations (multi-environment) and hot-spot regions of India for multiple years in field.

In addition, Davidson et al. [ 23] carried out transcriptome analysis using 12 rice tissues from various developmental stages by the RNA_Seq technology, providing additional resources of rice gene expression data.

The genomic resources of rice and B. distachyon (e.g., molecular markers, annotated genomic information) have both been proved to be very useful in the investigations of important Triticeae genes, such as Ph1 and Lr34/Yr18 in common wheat and Ppd-H1 and Cly1 in barley [ 23- 26].

The type-A response regulator genes in rice were identified by performing BLAST searches at the National Centre for Biotechnology Information [ 48] and TIGR genomic and annotated database [ 49] resources of rice using the response regulator protein sequences of Arabidopsis thaliana as query.

Genetic resources of ancient rice cultivars are much needed in the creation of new crop varieties by plant breeders (Sarla and Mallikarjuna Swamy 2005; Vaughan et al. 2008).

The development of genetic resources for rice panicle blast resistance has been limited due to the lack of a standardized method that evaluates panicle blast resistance using a stable artificial inoculation technique, either under an incubator or/and in greenhouse conditions.

These efforts have helped generate resources for rice improvement, some of which have already been deployed to mitigate loss due to environmental stress and pathogens.

Introgression of rare alleles through marker-assisted backcross breeding (MABB) techniques may help develop new genetic resources for breeding of rice for tolerance to extreme salt stress.
