- Method / resource The marker set comprised 103 InDel markers for background selection.
- Observation AnVP1 became homozygous in BC2 lines after selection.
- Observation Recurrent parent background recovery averaged 74.80% in BC1.
- Observation Recurrent parent background recovery averaged 91.93% in BC2.
- Observation AnVP1 expression was stable in line BC2-36-12.
- Observation AnVP1 expression was stable in line BC2-5-15.
- Intervention effect The two BC2F3 lines showed significantly improved drought tolerance against Chang 7-2.
- Observation REL, MDA and H2O2 decreased under drought stress in the improved lines.
- Observation Field evaluations in two arid and semi-arid environments indicated improved drought tolerance of Chang 7-2.
- Recommendation The authors propose crossing improved Chang 7-2 with Zheng 58 to develop Zhengdan 958.
