Exploiting wild accessions for development of high yielding new rice genotypes

Eight transgressive variants were selected from a cross between Oryza rufipogon Griff. (IRGC105491) and MR219, a Malaysian high yielding rice cultivar. The field trials revealed the yield potentiality of the variants and showed significantly (p<0.05) higher yield than the control, MR219. Quanti...

Registration process for eight variants has been initiated under the National Plant Variety (NPV) Act of Malaysia with the preferred name of UKMRC1 to UKMRC8.
