Discussion • According to the PCR results of SalT marker, 321 homozygous plants with Pokkali gene were selected from 582 sample plants of BC 4 F 2 and BC 3 F 5 populations. • All of samples were observed in monomorphisms like IR53936 on result of Marker RM10720. • RM3412 Marker helped to select 403 homozygous plants with Pokkali gene. • 303 plants of homozygous Pokkali gene from results of both SalT and RM3412 were selected to continue for the other Markers.

Discussion • Only 10 plants were identified again from selected salt tolerant homozygous with Pokkali by use of RM411 Marker. • RM1287 and RM10772 Markers proved that 303 homozygous plants had salt tolerance like Pokkali. • Quality traits on homozygous salt tolerant lines were evaluated by use of different markers such as Waxy, RM5349,RM457and RM21. • According to these results ,all 303 samples were the same as parent IR53936 on Amylose content and Gel Temperature. • That’s why these selected lines were expected to have good eating quality with salt tolerant ability.

Future Program 1. Screening test for selected 303 lines by MAS � To use Yoshida solution culture � To test in concrete pond with salty soil 2. Evaluation for yield Performance Test � Test Entries------60 (selected lines by MAS) � Year/Season------2008 wet season � Locations--------- 2 ( kyaukse and Myaungmya Rice Research Farms) � Design-------------Augmented design � Plot size------------5 m x 0.8 m 2 (5meter × 4rows) � Spacing ----------- 20 x 20cm � Number of seeding/hill -------single � Checkes ----------- IR53936 and Pokkali � Local checkes ---- Manawthukha and Sangankhan.4.
