Summary
The project will produce molecular markers for implementation in the rice breeding program. These molecular markers will allow for efficient selection of high quality cold tolerance germplasm.
Program
Rice
Research Organisation
Southern Cross University
Objective Summary
To identify regions of the rice genome that control cold tolerance at the microspore stage of pollen development develop molecular markers for these regions and use these markers for development of high quality cold tolerant rice varieties.
