Abstract:
In the study of the Fa generation of the cross of two improved dryland
strains and a locai medicinal variety of rice with two high yielding varieties revealed
that all the characters under observation were inherited polygenically. F2 segregants
surpassing the higher parental limit in their mean yield were obtained. No significant
correlation was observed between yield and plant height, number of tillers,
panicle length and 1000 grain weight.
