Light inside a canopy constantly fluctuates. Under fluctuating light (FL) conditions, stomatal
conductance and photosynthetic rate constantly change. In this study, we explored whether …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.), a vital global staple, faces challenges to yield and quality are
escalating due to urbanization, deforestation, and climate change, exacerbated by factors …

Rice is a plant species sensitive to cold stress, which renders seriously its cultivation.
Responses to cold stress (5° C, 24 hours) in whole plants, or targeted to rice leaves or roots …

Climate change may increase storms, flooding and other harsh weather events and, thus,
change geographical crop distribution, growing season and may also shorten the growth …

Crop productivity and stability of the food system are threatened by climate change, mainly
through the effects of predicted abiotic stresses. Despite extensive research on abiotic stress …

Extreme temperatures are considered one of the main constraints that limit the growth and
development of rice. We elucidated the root and shoot developmental plasticity of 64 rice …

Moisture stress affects the physiological and biochemical characteristics of plants such as
the propensity for cellular water, induces stomatal closure, and reduces photosynthetic …

The increase in both frequency and intensity of high temperature, along with its large
variability, is emerging as a potential threat to the sustainability of rice production. Recent …

Wild rice species provide a rich source of genetic diversity for possible introgression of
salinity stress tolerance in cultivated rice. We investigated the physiological basis of salinity …

Rice is one of the important cereal crops. Two contrasting rice genotypes viz. MTU-1010
(heat tolerant) and PR-113 (heat sensitive), were exposed to heat stress at flowering stage …
