Ultra high-throughput sequencing (UHTS) technologies offer the potential to interrogate
transcriptomes in detail that has traditionally been restricted to single gene surveys. For …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Background Cultivated rice species (Oryza sativa L. and O. glaberrima Steud.) are
generally considered among the crop species most sensitive to salt stress. A handful of lines …

The major quantitative trait locus (QTL) Phosphorus uptake1 (Pup1) confers tolerance of
phosphorus deficiency in soil and is currently one of the most promising QTLs for the …

Root architecture traits are an important component for improving water stress adaptation.
However, selection for aboveground traits under favorable environments in modern cultivars …

Rice is sensitive to salinity stress at both the seedling and reproductive stages. The present
study used 145 rice genotypes comprising of 100 landraces and 45 advanced breeding …

Elevated salinity imposes osmotic and ion toxicity stresses on living cells and requires a
multitude of responses in order to enable plant survival. Building on earlier work profiling …

Salinity tolerance in rice is critical at reproductive stage because it ultimately determines
grain yield. An F 2 mapping population derived from a Sadri/FL478 cross was exposed to …

This study focus on developing new salinity tolerance and high yielding rice lines, using
markers assisted backrossing (MABC). Total of 500 SSR markers on 12 rice chromosomes …
