TL;DR: The data suggest that there is scope for exploiting the genetic diversity of aromatic/quality rice germplasm available in India for national Basmati rice breeding programs and that the high-quality Indian aromatic and quality rice genotypes could be distinguished from both indica and japonica cultivars, and crossbred varieties could been distinguished from traditional Basmato rices.

TL;DR: It is inferred that leaves of salt-tolerant cultivars tend to attain greater capacity to perform reactions of antioxidative pathway under saline conditions to combat salinity-induced oxidative stress.

TL;DR: The study emphasizes the need for using a combination of different marker systems for a comprehensive genetic analysis of Basmati rice germplasm, and the high-level polymorphism generated by SSR, ISSR and AFLP assays described in this study shall provide novel markers to differentiate between traditional BasMati rice supplies from cheaper cross-bred Bas mati and long-grain non-Basmati varieties at commercial level.

TL;DR: Frequency of regeneration of fertile plants from cell suspension-derived calli was significantly increased using water stress treatments in two commercially cultivated Indian aromatic rice varieties and a similar stimulatory effect of water stress on plant regeneration was observed in another Indica rice variety, IR43, and a Japonica rice varieties, Taipei 309.

TL;DR: Genetic relationships among rice genotypes as determined by UPGMA cluster analysis and three-dimensional scaling based on Principal Component Analysis showed that the three traditional Basmati rice varieties are closely related and have varying degree of similarity with other cross-bred Basmatu rice varieties.
