Abstract:Breeding for drought tolerance revolves around selection of genotypes with desirable root characters. Root pattern studies in rice have shown significant relationship with drought tolerance. In order to understand the effects of deep rooting pattern and root growth angle in relation to water stress was assessed following basket method. The Backcross inbred lines (BILs) of ADT (R) 45*1/Apo and ADT (R) 45*1/Wayrarem with drought QTLs viz., qDTY1.1, qDTY3.1, qDTY4.1 and qDTY12.1 were evaluated for various root tr… Show more
