Data on genetic potentiality of folk rice (Oryza sativa L.) genotypes from Koraput, India in reference to drought tolerance traits.

ABSTRACT: Precise physiological and molecular marker-based assessment provides information about the extent of genetic diversity, which helps for effective breeding programmes. We have conducted detailed physiological and molecular marker-based assessment of selected eight indigenous rice landraces from Koraput, India along with tolerant (N22) and susceptible (IR64) check varieties under control and simulated drought stress using polyethylene glycol (PEG) 6000. After exposure to different levels of drought stress, relative germination performance (RGP), seedling vigour index (SVI) and relative growth index (RGI) were significantly declined in all the rice landraces compared to the control plants and significant varietal differences were observed. Genetic relationship among the studied rice landraces
