This study characterized Pokkali-derived quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seedling stage
salinity tolerance in preparation for use in marker-assisted breeding. An analysis of 100 SSR …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses that reduce the yield of several crop species
including rice. However, there are several traditional cultivars such as Pokkali, Nona Bokra …

Rice is a staple food crop in Asia and plays a crucial role in the economy of this region.
However, production of rice and its cultivating areas are under constant threat of soil salinity …

Background Salinity is one of the most widespread abiotic stresses affecting rice productivity
worldwide. The purpose of this study was to establish the relative importance of different …

Salinity is a major threat to rice production worldwide. Several studies have been conducted
to elucidate the molecular basis of salinity tolerance in rice. However, the genetic …

The rice landrace Horkuch, endemic to the southern saline coast of Bangladesh, is known to
have salt tolerance traits and can therefore contribute to a high yielding recipient for …

The genetic basis of salinity tolerance of the indica cross IR66946 (IR29-salt susceptible
improved variety x Pokkali-tolerant traditional tall variety) was determined through PCR …

Salt stress is an ever‐present threat to rice production worldwide. Rice salinity tolerance is
complex, both genetically and physiologically. The success and effectiveness in selecting …

Key message Reproductive stage salinity tolerance is most critical for rice as it determines
the yield under stress. Few studies have been undertaken for this trait as phenotyping was …

Soil salinization and a degraded ecological environment are challenging agricultural
productivity and food security. Rice (Oryza sativa), the staple food of much of the world's …
