Abstract
The objective for this study was to learn about the drought stress of the rice plant. Using the well-distributed simple sequence repeat (SSR) markers RM327, RM206, RM23, and RM1075 identified different rice genotypes. The groups of 20 rice cultivars that were cultivated under stress conditions were identified using SSR-based clustering analysis. Dendrogram demonstrated genotype cluster analysis This indicates that there is significant genetic variability within each group, according to the population structure in UP. Rice, Future coordinated association mapping investigations will be made possible by knowledge of population structure and related phenotypic traits recognised by geneticists and breeders.
