New submergence-tolerant Thai jasmine rice carries major QTL for submergence tolerance
A widely grown variety of Thai jasmine rice (KDML105) is highly susceptible to injury from submergence. Crossing and backcrossing with tolerant lines derived from the primitive Indian variety FR13A by Siangliw et al. (pp. 255-261) transferred tolerance to KDML105 in association with a critical region of chromosome 9. This was identified using DNA markers tightly linked to a major QTL for tolerance.
