| What does the gene identified in the new plant type breeding line Pusa 1266 do? | coding for a ‘protein kinase domain-containing protein’ | This study successfully generated new yellow-seeded lines and demonstrated increased oil content. number of well-filled grains per panicle, leading to 15–20% yield grains in the popular green revolution rice varieties such as, Pusa 44 and Samba Mahsuri has been discovered. Further, the duration of the crop is reduced by 7–10 days thus saving the valuable irrigation water. The gene was identified in a new plant type breeding line, viz. Pusa 1266 developed by IARI, New Delhi and was genetically mapped by ICAR-NIPB on rice chromosome 4 using DNA markers genomic tools during 2010, and since then has been transferred to a dozen popular high-yielding mega varieties of rice. The underlying gene has been identified as coding for a ‘protein kinase domain-containing protein’ whose expression is five- times higher in the high- grain lines. | 720 | definition | 1.000 | The underlying gene has been identified as coding for a ‘protein kinase domain-containing protein’ whose expression is five- times higher in the high- grain lines. | 40 | page=40,block=0 | 0.700 |
