Rice is the premier staple food of the world especially in the rainfed areas of Asia, where drought is a major production constraint. Recognizing this water scarce problem globally for rice production, the better option is aerobic rice cultivation which saves almost 50 per cent of water compared to puddled situation. Adaptation to aerobic condition is specific to varieties. Thus, selection of superior genotypes from diverse rice accessions through phenotyping for whole-plant architecture and molecular characterization in rice is an attractive strategy. The total 168 diverse genotypes rich in Iron or Zinc or both were evaluated under aerobic conditions to identify superior genotypes for root morphological traits, grain yield and yield attributed traits. Field evaluation revealed significant difference among the means of different genotypes for all the traits except for productivity per day under aerobic condition. As root morphological traits were directly related to drought resistance. Different genotypes with higher root length and root number have been identified and the superior genotypes were selected on the basis of high grain yield, root characters and Iron – Zinc content in brown rice. The genotypes TKM9, AM36, Type3, NLR145/Type-3, AM65, AM127, AM1, AM94B, BJ21 and Vandana were found to be superior for yield and drought resistance characters under aerobic condition in Kharif – 2011 and Summer-2012 season, with high iron in BJ21(36.1 PPM) and AM65 (43.9 PPM) having high zinc content in brown rice as part-per-million. SSR markers reported to be associated with drought tolerance traits were used for validation. Among the seven SSR markers employed only two were found to be significantly associated with drought tolerance traits under aerobic condition. |
