Project description:Kharchia local is an Indian tall landrace wheat cultivar. It is native to sodic-saline soils of Kharchia tehsil of the Pali district of Rajasthan, and is a line developed from selections from farmer's fields. It is the most salt tolerant wheat genotype found in India. No systematic study has been carried out in this direction so far. The gaps in understanding of the mechanism underlying salt tolerance limit our ability to improve the salt tolerance in other crop plants. Transcriptome analysis of Kharchia Local under salt stress will provide the insight into the genes involved in salinity tolerance.
