Porteresia coarctata is a wild relative of rice with capability of high salinity and submergence tolerance. The transcriptome analyses of Porteresia can lead to the identification of candidate genes involved in salinity and submergence tolerance. We sequenced the transcriptome of Porteresia under different conditions using Illumina platform and generated about 375 million high-quality reads. Af...

Morphology, habitat, shoot density and standing crop (above below ground biomass) of salt marsh Porteresia coarctata at Bakkhali estuary, Cox’s Bazar were investigated from January 2006 to June 2006. Permanent plots 50 m x exposed (station I) protected II) areas selected. P. was found growing as monospecific stand four-species association with seagrass Halophila beccarii, patches mangroves (Avi...
