The paper titled "Morpho-Molecular and Nutritional Analysis of Indigenous Aromatic Joha Rice of Assam for Yield Improvement and Value Addition" was published on February 12, 2024, in the open-access journal Scientific Reports under the Nature Publishing Group. The authors, Dibosh Bordoloi, Debojit Sarma, Nagendra Sarma Barua, Ranjan Das, and Bikram Kishore Das, are from the Department of Plant Breeding and Genetics at Assam Agricultural University, India. This study conducted a detailed analysis of the morphological, molecular, and nutritional components of the indigenous aromatic Joha rice of Assam to enhance yield and increase its value. The research team systematically characterized 20 Joha rice varieties in multiple aspects, discovering significant differences in their morphology and nutritional content, thus providing essential foundational data for breeding programs. This study not only revealed the nutritional richness of Joha rice but also demonstrated the significant potential for yield improvement through crossbreeding.
