General Outlook of Identified Genomic Regions/QTLs Associated with Salt Tolerance Traits in Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)

Salinity stress declines plant growth and its efficiency, which is leading to a substantial reduction in crop yield. Presently, the worldwide challenges are meet food consumption demand, along with decreasing productivity per unit area at same time of environment. Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) one major cereal grain crops losses gain yield exceeds 60% due salinity stress. Now, it imperative develop comprehensive understanding salt tolerance contrivances assortment reliable indices crucial for breeding salt-tolerant wheat cultivars. The specific chromosomal location these genes or genetic loci has also been partially characterized through QTLs mapping that cannot use directly programs. This information helps efficient transfer into other cultivars molecular tools. review highlights using association techniques identifying novel QTLs/genomic regions associated can help improve marker-assisted
