- Abstract
The article presents a study related to development of a salt-tolerant rice variety using a method called MutMap, which helps in identifying the loss-of-function mutations in rice that was further used in developing the variety. Topics discussed include physiological effects of excess amount of salts such as nitrates and potassium on rice, the MutMap, which is based on whole genome sequencing and pertinence of advantages of genomics-based crop breeding in improving traits such as yield.
