EFFECT OF ETHYL METHANESULFONATE MEDIATED MUTATION FOR ENHANCING MORPHO-PHYSIO-BIOCHEMICAL AND YIELD CONTRIBUTING TRAITS OF FRAGRANT RICE

Effect of ethyl methanesulfonate mediated mutation for enhancing morpho-physio-biochemical and yield contributing traits of fragrant rice

Background Chemical mutagenesis has been successfully used for increasing genetic diversity in crop plants.More than 800 novel mutant types of rice (Oryza sativa L.) have been developed through the successful application of numerous mutagenic agents.Among a wide variety of chemical mutagens, ethyl-methane-sulfonate (EMS) is the alkylating agent tha

Clusters of ancestrally related genes that show paralogy in whole or in part are a major feature of the genomes of humans and other species.

Arrangements of genes along chromosomes are a product of evolutionary processes, and we can expect that preferable arrangements will prevail over dustin johnson spider putter the span of evolutionary time, often being reflected in the non-random clustering of structurally and/or functionally related genes.Such non-random arrangements can arise by t
