| dc.description.abstract | Traditional rice varieties are likely source of potentially adaptable traits to a wide range of abiotic and biotic stresses, characterization of this rice germplasm is essential for ensuring the future generations of available materials needed to build better rice plants. in this study, 52 traditional rice varieties conserved at PhilRice were characterized to assess their root phenotypic characteristics. Correlation analysis among root traits showed a high positive correlation in some traits such as total root number and shoot length. Cluster analysis divided the different varities into 3 group. nalysis of result showed highly significance among in major phenotypic trait based on root system architecture. generally, Luzon has 26 deep rooting and 12 shallow varieties whereas Visayas has 4 classified as deep rooting and 1 shallow rooted. lastly, Mindanao has 8 deep rooting varieties and 14 shallow rooting. Specifically among 52 selected traditional rice varieties there was 39 classified as deep rooting and 13 verified as shallow rooted. Future collection and characterization would further enrich the generic resource of Philippine traditional rice varieties. | |
