Abstract Drought is one of the major abiotic threat to rice production in the context of climate change. Super Basmati is an
elite, fine grain basmati rice variety grown in Punjab, Pakistan. Due to drought sensitive in nature, its yield has
been facing an alarming situation in production because of gradual decrease in irrigated water for a couple of
years. Three reported novel QTLs for drought tolerance were selected for incorporation into Super Basmati by
employing marker assisted selection strategy. IR55419-04 with novel QTLs was used as a donor parent. Foreground selection was performed by applying PCR based QTL linked SSR… More >
