Among the twenty seven rice genotypes salt tolerant Binadhan-8, Set 37 L-29, Set 37 L-41, PBRC-37 were identified as salt tolerant and Binadhan-7, Set 10 SL-10, Set 39 L-28, Set 39 L-1, Set 10 SL-15, Set 39 L-3, Set 39 L-25, Set 10 SL-2, Set 37 L-23, Set 39 L-22, Set 37 L-36, PBRC-5 were identified as salt susceptible based on SES scoring and phenotypic performance. Binadhan-8, Set 37 L-41, Set 37 L-29, PBRC-37 showed no symptoms of salt injury. On the other hand Binadhan-7, Set 10 SL-10, Set 39 L-28, Set 39 L-1, Set 10 SL-15, Set 39 L-3, Set 39 L-25, Set 10 SL-2, Set 37 L-23, Set 39 L-22, Set 37 L-36, PBRC-5 were severely injured by salt injury. According to modified SES system four tolerant, eight moderately tolerant and fifteen susceptible genotypes were identified. The lowest % reduction in TDM was recorded in Set 37 L- 29 (13.1), Set 37 L-41 (16.8), Binadhan-8 (18.6), and PBRC-37 (19.2). Considering percent reduction in performance based on their plant height, root length and total dry matter production four genotypes (Set 37 L-29, Set 37 L-41, Binadhan-8 , PBRC-37) were recorded tolerant and twelve genotypes (Binadhan-7, Set 10 SL-10, Set 10 SL-2, Set 37 L-36, Set 39 L-25, Set 10 SL-15, Set 37 L-23, Set 39 L-29 , Set 39 L-28, Set 39 L-22, Set 39 L-13, Set 39 L-10, Set 39 L-3) were recorded susceptible. In molecular study, marker RM 10772 identified eight lines as salt tolerant, sixteen lines as susceptible and three lines as moderately tolerant. Seven tolerant, seventeen susceptible and three lines were showed moderately tolerant when tested with the marker RM 296. RM 10701 identified seven tolerant, seventeen susceptible and three lines as moderately tolerant. Binadhan-8, Set 37 L-29, PBRC-37 Set 37 L-41 showed salt tolerant when genotyped with marker RM10772 and RM 296, RM10701 and Binadhan-7, Set 10 SL(10), Set 39 L-28, Set 39 L-22, Set 39 L-3, Set 39 L-1, Set 10 SL(15), Set 39 L-25, Set 10 SL(2), Set 37 L-23, Set 37 L-36, PBRC-5 showed salt susceptibility when genotyped with primer RM10772, RM296 and RM10701. The markers RM10772, RM296 and RM10701 could be used to identify salt tolerant lines in rice and can also be used in marker-assisted selection (MAS) for developing salinity tolerant rice varieties.
