Induction of salt tolerance in Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Sajjad M.S., . Induction of salt tolerance in Basmati rice (Oryza sativa L.). pp. 315-320. ISSN 0126-6128

Seven relatively salt tolerant mutants were selected from segregating population (M2) under saline sodic conditions. Further testing of mutants under different salt stresses proved the superiority of one mutant namely RST-24. The mutant also proved its salt tolerance potential under both the gravel culture and saline-sodic field conditions. The mutant slightly surpassed parental variety Basmati-370 for length-breadth ratio (milled kernel) elongation ratio and gel consistency. The yield and yield components and other quality traits of mutants and parent under salt stress are also presented.

Abstract

Seven relatively salt tolerant mutants were selected from segregating population (M2) under saline sodic conditions. Further testing of mutants under different salt stresses proved the superiority of one mutant namely RST-24. The mutant also proved its salt tolerance potential under both the gravel culture and saline-sodic field conditions. The mutant slightly surpassed parental variety Basmati-370 for length-breadth ratio (milled kernel) elongation ratio and gel consistency. The yield and yield components and other quality traits of mutants and parent under salt stress are also presented.
