Water stress is one of the most severe constraints to crop productivity. Plants display a
variety of physiological and biochemical responses both at the cellular and whole organism …

Among the abiotic stresses, the availability of water is the most important factor that limits the
productive potential of higher plants. The identification of novel genes, determination of their …

To identify the water stress induced genes of upland rice cultivar IRAT109, which is resistant
to drought, a subtractive cDNA library was developed from polyethylene glycol‐(PEG) …

Water-limiting conditions can severely affect rice yield. Therefore, increasing plant tolerance
to water stress is a priority for many rice breeding programs. However, improving rice …

Water-deficit stress is detrimental for rice growth, development, and yield. Transcriptome
analysis of 1-week-old rice (Oryza sativa L. var. IR64) seedling under water-deficit stress …

Rice is one of the most important crops, providing staple food for about half population of the
world. Drought stress affects plant growth and development seriously. This article reviewed …

Abstract Key Message OsiSAP1, an A20/AN1 zinc-finger protein, confers water-deficit stress
tolerance at different stages of growth by affecting expression of several endogenous genes …

Water scarcity and the increasing severity of water deficit stress are major challenges to
sustaining irrigated rice (Oryza sativa) production. Despite the technologies developed to …

Access to adequate irrigation resources is critical for sustained agricultural production, and
rice, a staple cereal grain for half of the world population, is one of the biggest users of …

The majority of past studies of abiotic stress tolerance have compared the physiological
status of a stressed plant with that of an unstressed control plant in order to deduce …
