Screening and marker trait association for salinity tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.) by P. Hima Bindu1*, G. Shiva Prasad2, R.M. Sundaram3, K. Sumalini1 and C.H. Damodar Raju4

“…Nine of the 16 polymorphic markers RM3412, RM10843, RM562, RM10793, RM 10748, RM8094, RM10694, RM1287 and RM493 showed statistically significant marker-trait relationships, suggesting the presence of important putative genetic loci linked to chromosome 1 with ability to withstand salinity. The range of 1.0% to 24.9% for the percentage of total variance of phenotype explained by the relevant markers indicates the dependability of these genetic markers for enhancing breeding for salinity tolerance. …”
