Traditional Rice Landraces for Flooding Tolerance

Traditional rice landraces are the reservoir of many useful genes, the majority of which remained untapped. Now-a-days due to modern agricultural practices these vital genetic resources are being gradually eroded. Koraput district of Odisha in Eastern Ghats of India is one of the centers of origin for Asian cultivated rice and the home to large number of traditional rice varieties. Present Book provides baseline information on Potentiality of Traditional rice landraces of Koraput to flooding tolerance. This book also highlights the genetic diversity and genotypic variability of flooding tolerance response in traditional rice landraces of Koraput. The book will be of immense value to students, teachers, researchers in agriculture and life science field for future development of Flooding tolerant rice cultivars. I am sure the book will be popular among Biologist, Agricultural Scientists, Teacher and students of Botany and Life Sciences field.
