    RICE GENETICS II
    (In 2 Parts)
    Proceedings of the Second International Rice Genetics Symposium
    Manila, Philippines, 14 – 18 May 1990

    edited by Stephen J Banta (International Rice Research Institute, Philippines) & Gloria S Argosino (International Rice Research Institute, Philippines)

    Table of Contents (195k)
    Foreword (15k)
    Association between Pox-1 variation and seed productivity potential in wild rice (1,931k)

    The Rice Genetics Collection of past symposia and other selected literature contains nearly 4,400 pages of searchable information on rice genetics and cytogenetics published by the IRRI and its partners since 1964. In addition to the five genetics symposia held at 5-year intervals since 1985, the collection contains classic publications that kicked off significant reporting on these subjects in the early 1960s. This collection is a comprehensive and historical documentation on the subject of rice genetics, spanning 45 years of research and scholarly work.

    Held in 1990 and published the following year, Rice Genetics II contains 65 chapters from various contributors on topics dealing with rice genetic research, including varietal differentiation and evolution; genetic markers, linkage groups, and aneuploids; genetics of stress tolerance, morphological and physiological traits, and disease and insect resistance; tissue and cell culture; molecular genetics of cytoplasmic and nuclear genomes, rice proteins, and disease resistance; RFLP analysis of rice genomes; and transformation techniques.
