Drought stress is a serious limiting factor to rice production, which results in huge economic
losses. It is becoming a more serious issue with respect to the global climate change …

Drought is the leading threat to agricultural food production, especially in the cultivation of
rice, a semi-aquatic plant. Drought tolerance is a complex quantitative trait with a …

Background: Rice is the main staple food for the global population and drought is one of the
limited factor in rice production. In this research, progeny of a cross between an adapted US …

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

The increased occurrence and severity of drought stress have led to a high yield decline in
rice in recent years in drought-affected areas. Drought research at the International Rice …

Drought tolerance is an important quantitative trait with multipart phenotypes that are often
further complicated by plant phenology. Different types of environmental stresses, such as …

Rice is a staple cereal of India cultivated in about 43.5 Mha area but with relatively low
average productivity. Abiotic factors like drought, flood and salinity affect rice production …

Green Revolution (GR) rice varieties are high yielding but typically drought sensitive. This is
partly due to the tight linkage between the loci governing plant height and drought tolerance …

Rice is the staple food for more than half of the world's population. Although rice production
has doubled in the last 30 years as a result of the development of high-yield, widely …

Background Drought is one of the most important abiotic stresses that cause drastic
reduction in rice grain yield (GY) in rainfed environments. The identification and …
