Rice (Oryza sativa. L) is considered one of the most important cereal crops for human nutrition. It is required that rice production more than doubles to feed this growing population. To achieve that, better understanding of the root system will be required. It is very complex work to dissect specific genes which control the root structure variation due to the high adaptive plasticity of root development and the practical difficulty in phenotyping root traits and this represents a bottleneck for the efficient selection of specific root ideotypes. The main focus of this review is comparative evaluation of genetic mapping of rooting depth in rice based on QTL (Quantitative Trait Loci) study. Moreover, we will review the shortcomings and benefits of current genetic mapping procedure, as well as the future study to overcome these shortcomings.

Rice being a staple food crop of Kashmir valley, the focus is on enhancement of yield in order to meet the needs of ever-growing population.Identification of new parental lines is crucial for developing ecology-specific hybrids with ideal agronomic performance. Exploitation of heterosis in the form of hybrid rice technology can be one of the approaches to increase productivity in this crop, especially exploiting diversity among japonica lines can serve as an excellent route.A number of CMS lines suitable formountainous areas of Kashmir have been developed, however, the availability of promising restorer lines remains to be the major limitation for utilization of these lines.Identification of potential restorers acts as the main limiting factor for hybrid development in the Kashmir valley. Marker based screening for Rf3 and Rf4 fertility restorer genes can be helpful in rapid selection of restorer lines while dealing with the large quantity of genetic materials. In the present study, 100 rice germplasm were screened with the help of SSR markers, RM3148 and RM6100linked to Rf3 and Rf4 genes on chromosome 1 and 10, respectively. In total, 19 lines revealed the presence of both Rf3 and Rf4 genes. These lines amplified fertility restorer specific alleles for both the genes and may serve as potential restorers for obtaining heterotic rice hybrids. Further the germplasm lines were also evaluated for yield and quality traits.The present results would help in selection of suitable restorers along with preferred grain shape/size.

Culturomics-based bacterial diversity studies benefit from the implementation of MALDI-TOF MS to remove genomically redundant isolates from isolate collections. We previously introduced SPeDE, a novel tool designed to dereplicate spectral datasets at an infraspecific level into operational isolation units (OIUs) based on unique spectral features. However, biological and technical variation may result in methodology-induced differences in MALDI-TOF mass spectra and hence provoke the detection of genomically redundant OIUs. In the present study, we used three datasets to analyze to which extent hierarchical clustering and network analysis allowed to eliminate redundant OIUs obtained through biological and technical sample variation and to describe the diversity within a set of spectra obtained from 134 unknown soil isolates. Overall, network analysis based on unique spectral features in MALDI-TOF mass spectra enabled a superior selection of genomically diverse OIUs compared to hierarchical clustering analysis and provided a better understanding of the inter-OIU relationships.

Direct PCR-based genetic mapping of telomeric repeat associated sequences (TASs) was achieved using a RAPD primer mediated asymmetric PCR method. Twenty-two TAS loci were mapped in a rice doubled haploid population derived from a cross between an indica variety (Zhaiyeqing8) and a japonica variety (Jingxi17). Of these, 11 loci were mapped to the most distal position of seven chromosome arms and lengthened the linkage groups by 7.4-22.6 cM, five were mapped to the approximate positions of the centromeric regions, and six were mapped to other interstitial chromosomal regions.Key words: rice, Oryza sativa L., genetic mapping, telomeric repeat, telomeric repeat associated sequences, RAPD primer mediated PCR.
