Abstract

Dwarfism (sd-1) from Pusa-1121 was combined with Khalsa-7's scent and disease resistance into a Type-3 basmati background. Plants devoid of common rice illnesses were chosen by screening the dwarf segregants of the cross (Khalsa 7 × Pusa 1121) with Type-3 under artificially produced epiphytotic conditions. All India Coordinated Research Project (AICRP) trials were utilized to demonstrate yield and physical requirements of quality traits that are acceptable in world trade. Although breeders have been using biotechnology tools to increase their breeding capacity, many programs are still having trouble integrating them and balancing the distribution of resources between traditional and new technologies.
