Hybrid embryos that were collected at 10 and 12 days after pollination showed highest percentage of survival in culture with a germination percentage of 35.8 %. Cytological analysis of pollen mother cells (PMCs) of the BC

hybrids revealed 15 hybrids with 2n + 1(2n = 25) chromosome number that exhibited typical trisomic chromosomal configurations. These aneuploids were putatively designated as MAALs and characterized morphologically and cytologically. Based on their morphological similarity to primary trisomics of the cultivated rice (

), 8 MAALs viz., MAALs-4 (Sterile), 5 (Twisted leaf), 7 (Narrow leaf), 8 (Rolled leaf), 9 (Stout), 10 (Short grain), 11 (Pseudonormal) and 12 (Tall) were isolated, each of which exhibited several distinct morphological features. Among the 505 PMCs analysed, 79.80 % had 12

configurations. The size of the extra chromosome was found to be smaller than those of

were found to be eliminated in the MAALs. |
