III/Morobereman for blast and brown spot<br />

in nurseries during wet season 2011. Majority of the<br />

RILs showed blast resistance (Table 23) but most were<br />

susceptible to brown spot (Fig. 15) obviously due to the<br />

moderate reaction of parents to brown spot.<br />

Identification of major QTLs for grain yield<br />

under drought stress in ‘Jhum’ rice varieties<br />

of North Eastern Region for use in marker<br />

assisted breeding to improve yield under<br />

drought<br />

Eighty three Jhum rice germplasm from north-eastern<br />

region were screened for drought tolerance under<br />

rain-out shelter facility. Based on leaf rolling one genotype<br />

was scored (SES) as 1, 35 genotypes as 3, 39 geno-<br />

types as 5, six genotypes as 7 and two as 9. Grain yield<br />

was negatively correlated with drought score, canopy<br />

temperature, chaffs panicle -1 (sterility) and positively<br />

correlated with grain number panicle -1 and biomass.<br />

Based on grain yield and other traits, the promising<br />

drought tolerant genotypes identified are RCPL1-<strong>12</strong>8,<br />

Bhalum 3, Berain 2 and Kataktara. Mapping population<br />

will be developed using these donors to identify<br />

the QTLs for grain yield under stress.<br />

Marker Assisted Breeding of Abiotic<br />

Introgression of DTY 2.1<br />

Backcross population (BC 1<br />

F 1<br />

s) of the cross Swarna-<br />

Sub1/IR81896-B-B-195 was grown during 2011 wet<br />

season. Six markers (RM324, RM521, RM6374, RM3549,<br />

RM327, RM13211) linked to QTL DTY 2.1<br />

and three markers<br />

(RM16032, RM416, RM520) linked to QTL DTY 3.1<br />
