Trang 2Introduction contd…
Early detection of stress resistant traits – useful
for the development of location specific clones
The narrow genetic base of Wickham genepool
and the unidirectional selection for yield limits the
availability of sufficient genetic variability.
1981-IRRDB germplasm collection – a valuable
reservoir of genes for various abiotic stresses.

Trang 23Conclusions
Genetically divergent Amazonian accessions are an
excellent repository of genes imparting tolerance to
abiotic stress
A potential source for drought tolerant accessions
Of the three provenances, accessions from Mato
Grosso are the most promising for developing
drought tolerant clones
