Abstract
General objective of collaborative project are to identify and develop wheat genotypes adapted to salt-affected environments in India and Pakistan, that are tolerant to salinity, sodicity and waterlogging stresses, singly and in combination. JI Contribution: To examine the KTDH population with selected molecular markers to identify whether genes for salt tolerance are likely to be the same in the KTDH and CSDH populations. To produce advanced progenies from the new backcrossing programmes with Indian and Pakistani wheats with improved salt tolerance and agronomic properties, retaining some progenies having poor salt tolerance for comparative studies. To examine progenies from these backcrossing programmes with selected markers to identify specific alleles associated with salt tolerance for future marker-assisted selection of trait in breeding programmes.
