This edited book is a compilation of tangible research findings and actual experiences on various salt tolerant rice breeding programmes, that have been successfully practiced and continuing to do so by research centres in South East Asia, with major emphasis in India, Bangladesh and Philippines. Rice being one of the most important staple crops of the world, its production and productivity have to be kept on increasing so as to feed the burgeoning population. This is a very challenging task in the midst of shrinking resource base and arable lands in the face of climate change. Salt stress is the second major abiotic stress, next only to drought, which greatly affects rice production. To overcome this problem, development of improved salt tolerant rice cultivars coupled with appropriate package of practices, an ecologically sound and socially acceptable strategy should be developed which is well within the reach of marginal farmers. With rapid advances in molecular biology, mechanisms underlying the complexity of the trait are better understood now than before. Selection of appropriate parents, desired mapping populations, precise phenotyping are the key components to underpin the mapping and utilization of reliable QTLs. Understanding genetics of salt tolerance, identifying the robust molecular markers and targeted utilization of available molecular markers form the sound basis to develop the commercial products with more precision and speed. This book covers entire range of topics: starting from biophysical characterization of salt stressed areas in different rice ecologies, conventional and molecular breeding approaches for mapping salt tolerance and subsequent development of improved rice varieties for commercial cultivation and their societal impacts. This book is of interest to scientists, faculty, policy makers and administrators. It also serves as a resource guide to graduate students of agriculture particularly plant breeding, plant physiology, molecularbiology and soil science.

Dr. Raj Kumar Gautam presently working as Principal Scientist & Head, Division of Germplasm Evaluation at ICAR-NBPGR, New Delhi has earlier served as Head, Division of Crop Improvement & Protection at ICAR-CIARI, Port Blair, A&N Islands. He has contributed to the development of 14 high yielding, bacterial blight and salt tolerant rice varieties for different states in India. Based on amount of seed distribution, these varieties are estimated to have occupied more than 16 lakh ha area thus causing significant socio-economic impacts in different states. A total of 12 unique germplasm materials were registered with ICAR-NBPGR and PPVFRA New Delhi. Besides his peer reviewed research publications in more than 70 journals, significant contributions were made for the development, documentation and popularization of agro-technologies and innovations including farmers’ participatory variety selection and seed production (more than 650 quintal quality seed produced and distributed).
As team leader, he facilitated PPVFRA Plant Genome Saviour Community Award of Rs. 10.00 lakh to Karen community of remote Andaman & Nicobar Islands for conservation of traditional land races of rice. He also got ICAR Fakhruddin Ali Ahmed Award for Outstanding Research in Tribal Farming System Research-2018. He is Fellow of National Academy of Biological Sciences, Indian Society of Genetics & Plant Breeding and Indian Society of Coastal Agricultural Research.Dr. S. L. Krishnamurthy is senior scientist in plant breeding. He started his career as a scientist at the ICAR Central Soil Salinity Research Institute (the Indian Council of Agricultural Research) in Karnal, India. He had risen through the ranks to become a senior scientist. He leads research in salt tolerance in rice at ICAR CSSRI Karnal.
In his past roles, Dr. S. L. Krishnamurthy led the teams, which developed and released ten salt-tolerant rice varieties in India. He developed five rice genetic stocks for salt tolerance. He holds a Ph.D. in Genetics and Plant Breeding from the University of Agricultural Sciences Bengaluru (UAS B), India. He has published more than 80 research papers in international peer-reviewed journals and over 12 book chapters.
Dr. S. Thirumeni, after graduating from Kerala Agricultural University, Thrissur, completed his post-graduation and doctoral programmes in Plant Breeding and Genetics from Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. Apart from teaching courses in Genetics and Plant Breeding to the students of Agriculture for over 30 years, took keen interest in understanding the genetics of salt and submergence tolerance of rice and consequently breeding tolerant rice varieties. He has identified the gene action and interaction ofsalt tolerance, employing classical genetic tools in rice, cotton, finger millet and black gram. In rice, using molecular tools and genetic resources (germplasm and mapping populations), mapped the chromosomal regions harbouring salt tolerance genes through Genome Wide Association Studies and QTL analysis.
As a plant breeder he has contributed for the development of several promising salt and submergence tolerant rice strains and release of two crop varieties. His most significant contribution is the development of Near Isogenic Lines (NILs) through Marker Assisted Backcross Breeding (MABB) in the background of popular rice varieties for improving salt tolerance (ADT 45) and submergence tolerance (ADT 39 & ADT 46) while retaining all the other agronomically desirable traits housed in the mentioned rice varieties. He has successfully completed seven externally funded research projects focusing on improving salt and submergence tolerance in rice andtrained over 22 PG scholars in their thesis research. He has published more than fifty research papers in journals of repute and fellow of National Academy of Biological Sciences.
