| Abstract | Salt stress causes considerable damage to rice with a consequent reduction in grain yield, however, conventional breeding for this stress is time-consuming and costly. Recently, marker-assisted breeding has shown enormous potential to accelerate breeding of stress tolerant varieties because of its precision, time saving, and cost effectiveness. The present study was carried out to transfer Saltol, a major QTL on chromosome 1 associated with salinity tolerance, from FL478, a tolerant genotype, into IR64, a popular lowland variety through marker-assisted backcrossing (MABC). This technique considerably enhanced the recovery rate of the recurrent parent genome within three backcross generations, which could have saved several backcrosses compared with conventional schemes to achieve the same results. By using this technique, up to 99.7% of the recurrent parent genome was recovered at BC$_{3}$F$_{2}$ generation, saving at least three backcrosses compared with conventional breeding schemes. Salinity tolerance of IR64-Saltol lines was evaluated using saline culture solution adjusted to electrical conductivity of 12 dS m$^{-1}$ using NaCl. Based on selected physiological and growth parameters, the new Saltol introgression lines showed a significantly higher tolerance of salinity than their recurrent parent IR64. The results of this study confirm the benefits of using molecular markers in plant breeding to enhance tolerance of abiotic stresses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
