🌾 Exploring Morphological Indicators of BPH Resistance in Rice Varieties 🌾 I'm thrilled to share the findings from my recent study on Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) resistance in rice varieties! 📚 Abstract: Rice is a crucial cereal crop facing the challenge of Brown Plant Hopper (BPH) infestations. In my latest research, I delved into the intricate relationship between the morphological characteristics of rice plants and their resistance to BPH. Breeding for host plant resistance is pivotal in managing BPH populations effectively.
Key Points: Morphological Characters Examined: Leaf angle, leaf color, plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, and sheath color. Rice Varieties Studied: 12 diverse varieties, including resistant and susceptible checks. Location: Conducted in Jaffna with six replicates for each variety. Methodology: Morphological characters measured 30 days after planting. Statistical Analysis: Data subjected to normality test, oneway ANOVA, Tukey’s pairwise comparison test, and Chi-square test.
Results: Only the amount of red and green colors in leaves exhibited significant differences between susceptible and moderately resistant rice varieties. The susceptible check variety (Bg-380) showed the highest mean red and green values, while moderately resistant varieties (Bg-369, Bg-357, Bg-300, At-311, and H-10) displayed the lowest values. Interestingly, the Chi-square test revealed no significant correlation between leaf color and BPH resistance levels.
This research sheds light on potential markers for BPH resistance, contributing to the development of more resilient rice varieties. I'm excited to hear your thoughts and engage in discussions on this critical topic! 🌾🔬 #Research#Agriculture#RiceVarieties#BPHResistance
