Genetic and RAPD (Randomly Amplified Polymorphic DNAs) analysis
studies were carried out in F2 population originating from a cross of
two wheat cultivars i.e. Nongda 85021 (salt sensitive, female parent) and
Chadian Red (salt tolerant, male parent). For genetic analysis, chi?
square test gave a good fit to 1:2:1 ratio showing thereby that one
major gene was controlling the salt tolerant character. 10 each of t...
