Since establishment in 1984, the department flourished with tireless efforts of faculties, staff and students. The course curriculum of the department has always been strong and forward looking. Syllabi have been revised regularly and the latest version was done with the introduction of semester system offering five special papers, namely Cytogenetics, Microbiology, Molecular Plant pathology and Fungal Biotechnology, Plant Biochemistry and Taxonomy of Angiosperms and Biosystematics.

    Characterization of Some Cultivated Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Based on Phenotypic, Physicochemical and Cooking Properties
    (University of North Bengal, 2022) Sarkar, Shukdeb; Sarkar, Jayita; Limboo, Sona; Yonzon, Bhumika T.; Roy, Subhas Chandra
    Evaluation of rice genetic diversity is an important step for character specific varietal development program. The present study characterizes 15 rice germplasm of Indian accessions on the basis of agro morphological, physicochemical and cooking parameters. The cultivars showed high degree of variations on their traits. Mean plant height of 88.96 cm, flag leaf length (26.48 cm), flag leaf width (1.17 cm), grain per panicle (130), panicle length (20.97 cm), days to 50% flowering (112.06 days), kernel length breadth ratio (2.65), cooked kernel length breadth ratio (3.25), linear elongation ratio (1.65). Out of 15 rice cultivars, only Sada nunia and Das nunia are aromatic rice and Sada nunia also contain awn. Plant height showed significant positive correlation with PnL and DF and significant negative correlation with GB. GL positively significantly correlates with FLL, GrWt with GL and GB, DF with MT. The cluster analysis grouped the 15 cultivars into 4 clusters with 37.5 dissimilarity coefficient. The high variability with promising traits among the cultivars expected to be significance for future rice breeding programmes.
