dc.description.abstractRice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the important world’s cereal crops, providing staple food for nearly one-half of the global population. It is the only cereal where weedy, wild and cultivated forms are found. In traditional rice growing areas of Asia, in addition to white, rices of red, purple, black, brown, yellow and green colors are known and grown. Rices with red bran layer are called red rices. Some of the wild, cultivated and most of the weedy rices are red. ix Wild species of Oryza are an important source of useful genes. Red rice varieties have tolerance towards stress environments and resistance against important pest, diseases and storage pests. Off type plants having red seeds are considered as weedy although a few of them are colorless. This form of rice is found mixed into cultivated rice fields and shares traits common in both cultivated and wild rice.These are termed ‘Fat beggars’ as they accept what is offered and thrive. These are most difficult to eradicate. They cross with cultivated varieties and produce herbicide tolerant progeny. These have been studied for understanding the evolution of rice and as germplasm tolerant to adverse conditions for rice breeding. At present no cultivated red or wild variety is reported from Haryana though weedy rices are found throughout the state. There is no information available on weedy rice except eradication in Haryana. A collection of cultivated, weedy and wild rices were evaluated for variability at morphological and molecular level.Collection of weedy rices showed significant variability at morphological and molecular level and shared many traits with wild, cultivated white and red rices. Some of weedy rices can be further evaluated for important traits. Diversity at morphological level did not coincide with diversity at molecular level as compared by Euclidean square and UPGMA cluster analysis. 9 primers could be of significance in identification of red rices.One primer i.e Pr836 was found to be unique to weedy rices and giving unique bands in W8 which is long grain like basmati rice, hence can be used to detect adulteration.en_US
