SSR marker assisted selection and validation of varieties of rice

This book deals with the major scientific challenges facing rice researchers are to raise the maximum yield potential, close the yield gaps between potential yields and those achieved in farming practice and sustain current high yields.To check for drought resistance for rice plants, is very beneficial to plant breeders and application of modern tools like DNA markers such as SSR to these genotypes will help for further insight into rice genome and to develop rice with more resistance to the biotic and abiotic constraints of modern ecosystem.
