2 Introduction : OBJECTIVES : Rice is the world s second-most produced staple crop and it has been estimated that 90 % of the rice crop grown mainly in Asian Countries. Global warming is a serious peril to the rice production. High temperatures ( C) during anthesis stage of flowering induce spikelet sterility which in turn decreases the rice yield. Currently, very few donors lines for heat stress tolerance are identified from the rice germplasm collection present at the IRRI Gene bank. The rice variety N22 is the only donor so far identified which is showing promising tolerance to heat stress. To screen wide range of rice genotypes (IRHTN 2009 and CPAU) for heat stress tolerance and understand its effect on various agro-morphological characters. To identify suitable heat tolerant donors to be used for developing high yielding heat tolerant varieties. To develop breeding populations using identified donors to develop high yielding heat tolerant varieties confined with other desirable traits that is plant type etc,

3 Summary of Work done during Rabi 2012 Screening of Heat Tolerant Lines during Rabi 2012 As per the proposed work plan under NICRA a diverse set of genotypes comprising IRHTN 2009, CPAU was screened for heat tolerance and other attributes during Rabi To ensure the exposure of the maximum lines to high temperature > 40 0 C at reproductive stage sowing was done in one staggers List of the plant materials screened at Ramachandrapuram ICRISAT farm during Rabi 2012 S.NO Particulars No of Genotypes 2 4 IRHTN 2009(1sets) 33 CPAU (1set) 30 Total 63 List of observations recorded. 1.
