Abstract:A new high-yielding mutant rice cultivar, IS21, has been released by the Malaysian Nuclear Agency (MNA) in 2021. This cultivar matures in 105-108 days after transplanting. Since there is a need to reduce days to maturity (DTM) in most Malaysian rice mega-varieties to minimise the impacts of abiotic and biotic stresses, crossing IS21 with early maturing rice genotypes could be an efficient strategy to address these issues. Preliminary screening has successfully identified two early maturing and shorter plant st… Show more
