Abiotic stresses adversely affect rice yield and productivity, especially under the changing
climatic scenario. Exposure to multiple abiotic stresses acting together aggravates these …

Climate change has been an increasingly significant factor behind fluctuations in the yield
and quality of rice (Oryza sativa L.), particularly regarding chalky (white-back, basal-white …

Relevant evidence of rice quality responses to increased temperatures under field condition
has been obtained in our previous study. Understanding the intrinsic mechanism of …

Photosynthesis in C 3 plants is significantly limited by mesophyll conductance (gm), which
can vary with leaf anatomical traits and nitrogen (N) supplements. Several studies have …

Flowering and grain-filling stages are highly sensitive to heat and drought stress exposure,
leading to significant loss in crop yields. Therefore, phenotyping to enhance resilience to …

The incidence of short episodes of high temperature in the most productive rice growing
region is a severe threat for sustainable rice production. Screening for heat tolerance and …

More than 4 billion inhabitants in Asia depend on rice for 35–60% of the calories consumed
in their diets, but new rice cultivars frequently do not reach expected yields because of poor …

Background Decreased spikelet fertility is often responsible for reduction in grain yield in
rice (Oryza sativa L.). In this study, two varieties with different levels of heat tolerance …

Global warming is one of the biggest challenges for improving the productivity of rice crops
in the future. In this study, a meta-analysis and a dose-response analysis were conducted …

The leaf economics spectrum (LES) is an ecophysiological concept describing the trade-offs
of leaf structural and physiological traits, and has been widely investigated on multiple …
