Fig. 8. Native-PAGE showing ferritin level in different<br />
parts of field grown plants of the two rice cultivars<br />
[Sharbati (a) and Lalat (b)] at mid grain filling stage.<br />
Lanes 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 denote flag leaf, 2 nd leaf, 3 rd<br />

accumulation was observed at 5 ppm Fe indicating that<br />
the former was more efficient at absorbing and accumulating<br />
iron in grain (Fig. 7).<br />
As compared to high Fe containing cultivar, the low<br />
Fe containing cultivar was also found to absorb and<br />
accumulate lower amount of Fe from the growing medium<br />
and this was reflected in the lower level of ferritin<br />
accumulation in different parts of the plant, including<br />
seeds (Fig. 8).<br />
Evaluation of rice germplasm and advanced<br />
breeding lines for grain quality and aroma<br />
(AICRIP trial)<br />
Twenty two IVT-BT, eleven AVT-1-BT and seven<br />
AVT-II-BT cultures were analyzed for grain quality. In<br />
the IVT-BT trials, IET 2510 was found to be the best<br />
followed by 2504, 2522, 2521 and 2516; in case of AVT-<br />
I-BT, IET assessed as best followed by 2411 and 2406.<br />
In AVT-II-BT, all cultures (IET 2301 to 2307) possessed<br />
good grain quality characters with IET 2305 as the best<br />
followed by 2306 and 2301.<br />
