In vitro Selection of Drought Stress Tolerance in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) var. Jarava

摘要

To develop a drought tolerant variety of Jarava, to a higher level of tolerance byexposing the callus produced from the mature embryo to different levels of PEG (0.0,0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%) and then selecting the best tolerant cells of the drought andobtaining plants from them was carried out. The plants tested with the sameconcentrations of PEG, in normal conditions (pots) and evaluated by some indicatorsof proline, carbohydrate, K, Na and Cl.
