Development of salt tolerance in rice through breeding program is mainly depends on the salinity responses of the potential rice germplasms. Coastal rice landraces of Bangladesh possess diverse morphological and physiological responses to salinity. Hence, our target is to identify candidate salt-tolerant coastal rice genotypes as a new source of salt tolerance (12 dS/m). Here, we annotated 20 Bangladeshi coastal

Salinity stress is one of the important abiotic stresses in crops. In this study, ten different concentrations of NaCl solutions were tested to determine the optimal level of NaCl concentration for salinity tolerance test at the germination stage in peanut, and 0.6% NaC1 was suitable for the test. A total of 249 peanut accessions were tested with 0.6% NaC1 and radical root lengths of the accessions were measured. The results showed that there were significant genetic variations on the tolerance to salinity stress among the tested accessions. Through a Genome-Wide Association Study (GWAS) using the Axiom_Arachis array with 58K SNPs, three putative SNPs with significant relation to radicle root length were identified on chromosomes Aradu.A03, Araip.B01, and Araip.B05.

Traditional rice landraces of coastal areas in Bangladesh are distinct in respect to their phenotypes, responses to salt stress and yield attributes. In characterization of coastal rice landraces, 46 rice genotypes were tested for salt tolerance at their seedling and reproductive growth stages. Through the cluster analysis following standard evaluation score (SES), genotypes were divided into five categories (highly susceptible, susceptible, moderately tolerant, tolerant and highly tolerant) at their seedling stage. Three coastal genotypes,

Salinity is a common and increasing problem in many coastal rice producing areas around the world. Salinity tolerance at the reproductive stage in rice is crucial as it determines grain yield. An F2 mapping population was developed from two modern rice cultivars contrasting in tolerance: NSIC Rc222 (a high-yielding salt-sensitive variety released in the Philippines) and BRRI dhan 47 (a salt-tolerant variety released in Bangaldesh). The performance of the F2 population showed transgressive segregation in the yield components under salinity stress of EC 10 dS/m under salinized field conditions. Ninety-six single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) markers using 96-plex FluidigmTM genotyping were used to construct a linkage map of 1306.2 cM (Kosambi), with an average interval size of 13.6 cM. Seven putative quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for reproductive stage salinity tolerance traits having LOD values ranging from 2.9 to 4.1 were identified on chromosomes 1, 2, 5 and 11, explaining 13.4 to 18.4% of the phenotypic variation. Results of this mapping study identified a genomic region on chromosome 2 that confers salinity tolerance at the reproductive stage as measured by the number of filled spikelets, percent filled spikelets and yield. This study reports the molecular mapping of QTLs controlling reproductive-stage salinity tolerance-related traits, which will be useful in marker-assisted selection and breeding population development in rice.

Plants adapt to hostile environmental condition through specialized cellular processes which require coordinated regulation of multiple transport mechanisms. Low-affinity cation transporter (LCT) 1 is a membrane transporter gene exclusive only to members of the grass family, and the rice genome contained only one copy of the gene. Accumulating evidence highlighted the important role of this gene in the regulation of various cations transport into the plant cells including heavy metals. To further characterize the role of this membrane transporter

Drought and salinity are the major environmental constrains in global agricultural production. Plant breeding for the drought and salt tolerance needs a proper assessment procedure to overcome stress constrain. Fundamental understanding on the physiological nature of the plant tolerance provides valuable information for the genetically modified crop’s development. Drought or salt stress induces several common physiological responses in plants such as water relation and photosynthetic capacitiy. It is because both stresses lead cellular dehydration in the plants, particularly, during the early phase of stress imposition. Drought and salinity decrease CO2 availability for photosynthesis via stomatal limitation as well as elevate leaf temperature due to partially closed stomata. In this scenario, stomatal regulation and plant water status are important aspects in abiotic stress environment. These physiological responses have a function to stabilize the temperature inside plant/leaf. Therefore phenotyping through an infra-red thermography (heat sensitive sensor), could be a useful tool in the selection of a tolerant genotypes. Infra-red thermography is a part of the electromagnetic spectrum which emits a certain amount of radiation as a function of their temperatures. In general, the plants which have less water, would have higher temperature and display more infra-red radiations. In abiotic stresses such as drought and salinity, plant water status is affected and varied from the sensitive to tolerant level. Infra-red images of plants are often linked with some of the physiological attributes to the tolerance. This review covers the limits, advantages, linkages, comparison and other prospectives of using thermal imagaes in modern phenotyping techniques.
