Hybridity Assessment in Experimental F1s of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) using Microsatellite Markers

The present investigation was undertaken to assess the hybridity of experimental F1 plants derived from the crossing of salinity and/or submergence tolerant landraces with the high-yielding popular varieties of the west coast region of India. Seven microsatellite markers were utilized for confirming the hybridity of the 16 F1 plants developed from four cross combinations, viz. Karjat-3 X KS-19-2 (Cross 1), Goa dhan-3 X Jaddubatta (Cross 2), Jaya...
