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

Main conclusion Genomic selection and its importance in crop breeding. Integration of GS
with new breeding tools and developing SOP for GS to achieve maximum genetic gain with …

It is hypothesized that the genome-wide genic markers may increase the prediction accuracy
of genomic selection for quantitative traits. To test this hypothesis, a set of candidate gene …

Grain size plays a significant role in rice, starting from affecting yield to consumer
preference, which is the driving force for deep investigation and improvement of grain size …

Plant architecture has a substantial impact on photosynthesis, which leads to increased
yield production. Many plant architecture characters are quantitative in inheritance, making …

Abstract The Green Revolution is a fundamental interval in agricultural history, depicted by
the prevalent implementation of innovative methodologies and technologies that tried to …

BACKGROUND To improve production efficiency, positive alleles corresponding to yield‐
related attributes must be accumulated in a single elite background. We designed and used …

In the era of climate change, continuous breeding efforts are required to dissect and detect
genomic regions responsible for stress resilience and achieve a rapid genetic gain in rice. Bi …

Asian rice gall midge is one of the important pests of rice, which attacks the crop from
nursery to the end of the tillering stage. Managing this pest through plant resistance is the …

Drought is becoming a major threat to rice farming across the globe owing to the depletion of
water tables in rice‐growing belts. Drought affects rice plants at multiple stages, causing …
