Identification of QTLs for stagnant flooding tolerance in rice employing genotyping by sequencing of a RIL population derived from Swarna × Rashpanjor.

Unlabelled: In lowland rice ecosystems stagnant flooding or partial submergence has a significant negative impact on important yield attributing traits resulting in substantial grain yield reduction. Genetics of this stress is not yet studied intensively. Rashpanjor (IC 575321), a landrace from India, was identified and used as the tolerant donor for stagnant flooding and was crossed with high yielding variety Swarna to develop the RIL population for the present investigation.
