To develop superior rice varieties with improved yield in most rainfed areas of Asia/Africa,
we started an introgression-breeding program for simultaneously improving yield and …

Abiotic and biotic stresses adversely affect rice growth, development and grain yield.
Traditional rice breeding techniques are insufficient in modern agriculture to meet the …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) in rainfed marginal environments is prone to multiple abiotic and biotic
stresses, which can occur in combination in a single cropping season and adversely affect …

Low and unstable rice productivity in many areas of Asia is associated with many abiotic and
biotic stresses such as drought, salinity, anaerobic conditions during germination …

Increases in rice productivity are significantly hampered because of the increase in the
occurrence of abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, and submergence. Developing a …

There is an urgent need to breed dry direct-seeded adapted rice varieties in order to
address the emerging scenario of water–labor shortage. The aim of this study was to …

Occurrence of multiple abiotic stresses in a single crop season has become more frequent
than before. Most of the traditional donors possessing tolerance to abiotic stresses are tall …

Soils that contain toxic amounts of minerals or are deficient in essential plant nutrients are
widespread globally and seriously constrain rice production. New methods are necessary to …

Breeding of multi-stress tolerant rice varieties with higher grain yields is the best option to
enhance the rice productivity of abiotic stresses prone areas. It also poses the greatest …

Severe yield loss due to various biotic stresses like bacterial blight (BB), gall midge (insect)
and Blast (disease) and abiotic stresses like submergence and salinity are a serious …
