Natural and man-made ecosystems worldwide are subjected to flooding, which is a form of
environmental stress. Genetic variability in the plant response to flooding involves variations …

The underground reserve (root) has been an uncharted research territory with its untapped
genetic variation yet to be exploited. Identifying ideal traits and breeding new rice varieties …

Starches rich in amylose are promising functional ingredients for calory-reduced foods. In
this research, a high-amylose Japonica rice starch (amylose content 33.3%) was esterified …

Early season flooding is a major constraint in direct-seeded rice, as rice genotypes vary in
their coleoptile length during anoxia. Trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase 7 (OsTPP7 …

Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is an important crop used for oil production, and oleic acid is a
major factor in determining oil quality. Alterations in the oleic acid content can improve the …

Flooding is one of the most hazardous natural disasters and a major stress constraint to rice
production throughout the world, which results in huge economic losses. The frequency and …

Rice is a staple food mainly cultivated in the tropics, however~ 20% of global production
originates from temperate regions. The japonica rice (tropical and temperate), is the unique …

Direct-seeded rice (DSR) is a promising alternative to the traditional puddled rice system. It
has become more popular among rice growers as a result of socioeconomic shifts and …

Successful cultivation of rice (Oryza sativa L.) in many Asian countries requires
submergence stress tolerance at the germination and early establishment stages. Two …

The development of stress-resistant crops without compromising their yield and nutritional
quality is one of the major challenges in plant biology. Plant breeders have made …
