BRS A504 CL is a new rice cultivar, resistant to herbicides from the imidazolinone chemical group, developed for the Clearfield Production System for upland rice in Brazil. The cultivar has excellent grain quality and yield potential of 8,188 kg ha-1. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

BRS Pampa CL is a rice cultivar developed by Embrapa, recommended for irrigated cultivation in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil. It shows modern architecture, high tillering, early cycle, and tolerance to the imidazolinone herbicide Kifix®. It stands out for its high yield potential and excellent grain quality.

BRS A705 is an early-maturing cultivar developed by Embrapa, recommended for irrigated cultivation. The plants have high tillering and moderate resistance to the main diseases. This cultivar has short stature, which confers a greater tolerance to lodging. It presents high yield and long and fine grains of excellent quality. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The existence of Oryza glumaepatula is threatened by devastation and, thus, the implementation of conservation strategies is extremely relevant. This study aimed to characterize the genetic variability and estimate population parameters of 30 O. glumaepatula populations from three Brazilian biomes using 10 microsatellite markers. The levels of allelic variability for the SSR loci presented a mean of 10.3 alleles per locus and a value of 0.10 for the average allelic frequency value. The expected total heterozygosity (H(e)) ranged from 0.63 to 0.86. For the 30 populations tested, the mean observed (H(o)) and expected heterozygosities (H(e)) were 0.03 and 0.11 within population, respectively, indicating an excess of homozygotes resulting from the preferentially self-pollinating reproduction habit. The estimated fixation index ( (IS) ) was 0.79 that differed significantly from zero, indicating high inbreeding within each O. glumaepatula population. The total inbreeding of the species ((IT) ) was 0.98 and the genetic diversity indexes among populations, (ST) and (ST), were 0.85 and 0.90, respectively, indicating high genetic variability among them. Thus, especially for populations located in regions threatened with devastation, it is urgent that in situ preservation conditions should be created or that collections be made for ex situ preservation to prevent loss of the species genetic variability.
