Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on identifying specific chromosome regions that link anther indehiscence (a key trait for hybrid rice) with stigma exertion.
- A mapping population of 189 plants was created from a cross between CRI-48 and Jasmine 85 to explore this genetic relationship.
- Results revealed a single genetic locus on chromosome 6 responsible for these traits, contradicting earlier beliefs of multiple genes being involved, with important SNP markers identified for further research.
Salt stress affects about 25% of the 4.4 million ha of irrigated and lowland systems for rice cultivation in West Africa (WA). A major quantitative trait locus (QTLs) on chromosome 1 (Saltol) that enhances tolerance to salt stress at the vegetative stage has enabled the use of marker-assisted selection (MAS) to develop salt-tolerant rice cultivar(s) in WA.
