Abstract excerpt
Salinity tolerance in rice is critical at reproductive stage because it ultimately determines grain yield. An F2 mapping population derived from a Sadri/FL478 cross was exposed to saline field conditions (6-8 dS m(-1)) after the active tillering stage to identify reproductive stage specific QTLs for salinity tolerance. Genetic linkage map was constructed using 123 microsatellite markers on 232 F2 progenies....
