Article Synopsis
- * Traditional breeding methods have struggled to create salt-tolerant crops, but advancements in molecular markers and genomic techniques have enhanced QTL mapping for traits related to salinity tolerance in crops like rice, wheat, and maize.
- * New approaches in transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics provide deeper insights into the molecular mechanisms of stress tolerance and can improve selection methods, allowing for more effective breeding strategies.
Background: Heat tolerance is becoming increasingly important where maize is grown under spring season in India which coincide with grain filling stage of crop resulting in tassel blast, reduced pollen viability, pollination failure and barren ears that causes devastating yield losses. So, there is need to identify the genomic regions associated with heat tolerance component traits which could be further employed in maize breeding program.
Results: An association mapping panel, consisting of 662 doubled haploid (DH) lines, was evaluated for yield contributing traits under normal and natural heat stress conditions.
