Main conclusion Rapid uniform germination and accumulation of biomass during initial
phase of seedling establishment is an essential phenotypic trait considered as early …

Early seedling vigor (ESV) is the essential trait for direct seeded rice to dominate and
smother the weed growth. In this regard, 629 rice genotypes were studied for their …

High seed vigour ensures good quality seed and higher productivity. Early seedling growth
parameters indicate seed vigour in rice. Seed vigour via physiological growth parameters is …

Strong seedling vigor is desirable trait in dry direct-seeded rice (DSR) for enhancing crop
establishment and the ability to compete against weeds. A set of 253 BC3F4 lines derived …

The frequent fluctuations in global climate variability (GCV), decreases in farmland and
irrigation water, soil degradation and erosion, and increasing fertilizer costs are the …

Weed competitive ability (WCA) is vital for the improvement of grain yield under direct-
seeded and aerobic rice ecosystems where weeds are a major limiting factor. Early seed …

Seedling vigour (SV) is important for direct seeding rice (Oryza sativa L.), especially in a
paddy-direct seeding system, but the genetic mechanisms behind the related traits remain …

To improve grain yield under direct seeded and aerobic conditions, weed competitive ability
of a rice genotype is a key desirable trait. Hence, understanding and dissecting weed …

Seed germination and early seedling growth are important agricultural traits for developing
populations of both irrigated and directly seeded rice (DSR). To investigate the genetic …

Good quality seed is an important factor for a good crop and harvest. Vigour is the key
performing trait of quality seed. Many physiological traits influence seed vigour in rice …
