Soil salinization is an increasing problem worldwide and is often intensified by irrigation. Unfortunately, few new crop cultivars have been developed resistant to saline soils, a consequence, in part, of the complexity of plant responses to salt stress. There are now, however, several non-traditional options to improving salt tolerance as a result of recent progress in better understanding the mechanisms involved. These mechanisms include 1) exclusion of Na+ and Cl– from plant tissues; 2) inclusion of these ions in inert compartments or tissues; and/or 3) some means of osmotic adjustment with solutes that are compatible with the metabolic machinery of the cell. Although there are very few horticultural examples, several lines of evidence indicate that reductions in salt sensitivity through exclusion or inclusion can be achieved by single gene modifications of the ion transport system. Similarly, single genes resulting in osmotic adjustment with solutes compatible with the metabolic machinery of the cell have resulted in significant increases in salt tolerance. Recent advances in sequencing, use of quantitative trait loci, and marker-assisted selection promise to provide other options for improving salt tolerance.

Eukaryotic Transcription

Gene expression is an intricately regulated process that is at the basis of cell differentiation, the maintenance of cell identity and the cellular responses to environmental changes. Alternative splicing, the process by which multiple functionally distinct transcripts are generated from a single gene, is one of the main mechanisms that contribute to expand the coding capacity of genomes and help explain the level of complexity achieved by higher organisms. Eukaryotic transcription is subject to multiple layers of regulation both intrinsic — such as promoter structure — and dynamic, allowing the cell to respond to internal and external signals. Similarly, alternative splicing choices are affected by all of these aspects, mainly through the regulation of transcription elongation, making it a regulatory knob on a par with the regulation of gene expression levels. This review aims to recapitulate some of the history and stepping-stones that led to the paradigms held today about transcription and splicing regulation, with major focus on transcription elongation and its effect on alternative splicing.

A cross was made between high yielding salt susceptible BINA variety (Binadhan-5) with salt tolerant rice landrace (Harkuch) to identify salt tolerant rice lines. Thirty six F3 rice lines of Binadhan-5 x Harkuch were tested for salinity tolerance at the seedling stage in hydroponic system using nutrient solution. In F3 population, six lines were found as salt tolerant and 10 lines were moderately tolerant based on phenotypic screening at the seedling stage. Twelve SSR markers were used for parental survey and among them three polymorphic SSR markers viz., OSR34, RM443 and RM169 were selected to evaluate 26 F3 rice lines for salt tolerance. With respect to marker OSR34, 15 lines were identified as salt tolerant, 9 lines were susceptible and 2 lines were heterozygous. While RM443 identified 3 tolerant, 14 susceptible and 9 heterozygous rice lines. Eight tolerant, 11 susceptible and 7 heterozygous lines were identified with the marker RM169. Thus the tested markers could be efficiently used for tagging salt tolerant genes in marker-assisted breeding programme.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/pa.v19i2.16929 Progress.
