In this investigation, an attempt was made to identify quantitative trait locus (QTL)/gene associated with JIP-test parameters in rice. Thirty main effect additive QTLs (M-QTLs) along with more than 500 digenic epistatic QTLs were detected using a backcross-derived population from tolerant genotype Pokkali (AC41585) and the susceptible counterpart IR64. These M-QTLs were located in almost all the chromosomes except chromosome number 6 and 8. Most of the M-QTLs showed pleiotropic effects. Positional similarity of all these overlapping additive and additive × additive interaction, QTLs indicated the substantial resemblance of the genetic basis of many JIP-test parameters which imparted salinity tolerance in rice at the seedling stage. Twenty-three potential functional genes were also delineated inside these additive QTLs regions. The identified putative QTLs for JIP-test parameters and probable functional genes lying therein are useful for imparting greater photosynthetic potential in rice under salt stress.

Keywords: Oryza sativa L; photosystem II; recombinant inbred lines.
