Abstract: | Improvement of rice with respect to resistance to biotic and abiotic stresses through introgression of alien genetic variation
is an important breeding objective of wide hybridization. Anther culture of an interspecific hybrid between Oryza sativa L. cv. pankaj x O. rufipogon Griff. (both of them having "AA" genome) was done to obtain submergence tolerant high yielding recombinant type. Inoculation
of anthers in five basal media viz. N6, modified N6, R3, He2 and He5 each one supplemented sith NAA (2 mg l-1), kinetin (0.5 mg l-1) and sucrose (5%) showed that the rate of callusing was highest (8.3%) in He2 medium. Calluses initiated in all the above
five media when transferred to regeneration medium MS medium containing NAA (0.5 mg l-1), kinetin (2 mg l-1) and sucrose (3%)], percentage of green plant regeneration was also high (13%) in calluses initiated in He2 medium.
Androgenic doubled haploid plants, showed 1:1 segregation of the traits for most of the morphological characters studied whereas,
different segregating ratios were found in F2 population. Wider range of variation for different agronomic characters were noted in androgenic population as compared to
F2>. Of the 533 field grown doubled haploid plants, five plants were O. sativa type parental forms with fine grains and submergence
tolerant (tested at ten days old seedling stage). Further screening has helped to select only one awnless, fine grain, submergence
tolerant line tested at seedling stage and six weeks old plant age.
