Rice is a staple food for half of the human population. Unlike other cereals such as wheat
and barley, rice plants are susceptible to cold stress, which often results in decreased …

The cold tolerance studies were carried out in a bi-parental F2 population of a cross
between tolerant and susceptible parents (SKUA-529 and HEERA, respectively). The …

Low‐temperature stress is an important factor affecting the growth and development of rice
(Oryza sativa L.) in temperate and high‐elevation areas. Cold stress may cause various …

In the experiments reported in this paper, we demonstrate how the chlorophyll a
fluorescence transient OJIP can be utilised in screening for dark chilling tolerance in large …

Low-temperature stress (LTS) is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect crop growth and
ultimately decrease grain yield. The development of rice varieties with low-temperature …

Background and Aims Seedling vigour is one of the major determinants for stable stand
establishment in rice (Oryza sativa), especially in a direct seeding cropping system. The …

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 …

Rice cold tolerance at the germination stage is important in Rio Grande do Sul (RS) where
temperatures below 15° C prevent or reduce germination and plant establishment in early …

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is sensitive to prolonged exposure to low temperature, which at the
seedling stage can result in significant chilling injury and mortality. The objective of this …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is the primary source of food for more than half of the world population.
Most rice varieties are severely injured by abiotic stresses, with strong social and economic …
