These rice cultivars were previously collected by us during 2007
to 2012 and stored at the Department of Botany, Savitribai Phule
Pune University, Pune, Maharashtra, India. The seedlings of these
cultivars were raised in the experimental field at Karjat rice
research station, Karjat, District Raigadh, Maharashtra state, India
following routine practice. At maturity the panicles were harvested,
dried in shade, threshed and seeds were used for analyses.
