| Summary: | Seven relatively salt tolerant mutants were selecled from segregating populations (1\'12) Wider saline sodic conditions.
Further testing of mutants under different salt stresses proved the superiority of one mutant namely RST-24. The
mutant also proved its salt tolerance potential under both the gravel culture and saline-sodic field conditions. The
mutant slightly surpassed parantal variety Basmati-370, for"length-breadth ratio (milled kernel), elogation ratio
and gel consistence .They yield and yield components and other quality traits of mutants and parent unnder salt stress
are also presented. |
