Early seedling stage salt tolerance evaluation of genetically diverse rice genotypes

摘要: The present study carried out a comparative evaluation of 38 rice genotypes (including 17 landraces) for salinity tolerance at germination and early seedling stage salt genotype is specific. Hence to understand the significance contribution different mechanisms among genotypes, its primary requisite reveal level an before. A refined scoring system was designed in given experimental conditions. extent genetic similarity assessed by AFLP 21 them. Comparative analysis similar growth conditions, time-points provided better understanding theinvolvement stress effect mitigating genes diverse genotypes. This evaluated several unexplored genotypes/land races enable effective use these particular soil conditions can be utilized improve sensitive but agronomically important landraces.
