Abstract

The project has four main objectives listed as follows. Development of clean gene technology for rice transformation. Identification of alternative selectable marker genes for rice transformation. Mapping of natural resistances (to RYMV and nematodes) for pyramiding natural resistance from African landraces into cultivated lowland and upland varieties by marker assisted selection. Identification of QTLs for yield components in interspecific progenies.
