Genetic variations of rice yellow mottle virus disease on selected rice (Oryza sativa L) genotypes and their effects on yield and yield-related traits

Rice yellow mottle virus (RYMV) is one of the most important disease affecting rice production in Africa. This research aimed to estimate the effect of RYMV disease on some yield-related traits in Korean rice germplasm recently introduced into Ghana and identify new sources of RYMV resistance for use in breeding. One hundred and seventy-six (176) rice genotypes including two highly resistant and a susceptible check, were used for this research. The experiment was laid in 4 × 44 lattice design with four replications in RYMV inoculated and non-RYMV inoculated environments in a screen house at CSIR-Crops Research Institute (CRI), Fumesua, Ghana, in 2019.
