摘要
Evaluation for root morphology and related characters at three different stages and different moisture regimes was made using 9backcross populations obtained by crossing selected doubled haploid lines derived fromIR64 × Azucena with IR64. Marked genotypic differences were observed for all the characters across three samplings. In samplings at 80 days after sowing, significant reductions in mean root and shoot dry weights were noticed from well-watered to severely-stressed conditions, but higher root to shoot dry weight ratios were observed under severe stress condition. In the samplings at maturity, significant increases in mean values of all characters except shoot dry weight and root number, were observed from both well watered to stress conditions. However, individual backcross populations varied with respect to root and shoot dry weights across the moisture regimes. Estimates of heritability were reduced from the 1st to 3rd samplings as well as from WW to SS conditions. In the third sampling, root volume, root thickness and maximum root length were found to be interrelated. The experimental materials were classified into two distinct groups by dendrogram based on 175 markers. This classification was fairly similar to phenotypic classification based on root morphology with IR64 and Azucena falling into the respective main groups. Correlations of marker heterozygosity with hybrid performance and heterosis differed markedly between the 2nd and 3rdsamplings as well as between well watered and severe stress conditions.
