Phenotyping Rice for Molecular Plant Breeding

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Phenotyping for Plant Breeding

Abstract

Rice is an important food crop, has the plasticity in growing in different ecologies in many countries around the world, which makes this crop to expose to many diseases and pests. The recent development in the genomics has led to the intensive efforts in molecular breeding for improvements of some of the qualitative traits. To make the successful molecular breeding programme, accurate phenotyping techniques need to be coupled with high-throughput genotyping. The chapter discusses the various phenotypic methods available for different diseases, pests and abiotic stress like drought.
