Global rice crop production is being threatened by a frequent rise in high temperatures and
drought. Drought and heat stresses adversely affect the morphological, physiological, and …

Plant abiotic stresses are the major constraint on plant growth and development, causing
enormous crop losses across the world. Plants have unique features to defend themselves …

Mountains make up 24% of the world's land area, are home to 20% of the world's
population, provide 60–80% of the world's fresh water, and harbour 50% of the world's …

Background The knowledge of the extent and pattern of diversity in the crop species is a
prerequisite for any crop improvement as it helps breeders in deciding suitable breeding …

Early seedling vigor (ESV) is the essential trait for direct seeded rice to dominate and
smother the weed growth. In this regard, 629 rice genotypes were studied for their …

The studies on genetic variation, diversity and population structure of rice germplasm of
North East India could be an important step for improvements of abiotic and biotic stress …

Rice exhibits enormous genetic diversity, population structure and molecular marker-traits
associated with abiotic stress tolerance to high temperature stress. A set of breeding lines …

In this paper, the genetic diversities of 12 rice genotypes (Oryza sativa L.), representing
Indica, Japonica, and Indica–Japonica varieties, were assessed using twelve ISSR and five …

While the functionality and healthy food value of red rice have increased its popularity, such
that market demand for it is expected to rise, most strains suffer from low grain yield. To …

The response to selection in any crop improvement program depends on the degree of
variance and heritability. The objective of the current study was to explain variance and …
