Key message Reproductive stage salinity tolerance is most critical for rice as it determines
the yield under stress. Few studies have been undertaken for this trait as phenotyping was …

Salt stress reduces land and water productivity and contributes to poverty and food
insecurity. Increased salinization caused by human practices and climate change is …

Salinity stress adversely affects plant growth and causes considerable losses in cereal
crops. Salinity stress tolerance is a complex phenomenon, imparted by the interaction of …

Salinity tolerance in rice is highly desirable to sustain production in areas rendered saline
due to various reasons. It is a complex quantitative trait having different components, which …

This study characterized Pokkali-derived quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for seedling stage
salinity tolerance in preparation for use in marker-assisted breeding. An analysis of 100 SSR …

Since the publication of the third edition of the Handbook of Plant and Crop Stress,
continuous discoveries in the fields of plant and crop environmental stresses and their …

Background and Aims Salinity is a widespread soil problem limiting productivity of cereal
crops worldwide. Rice is particularly sensitive to salt stress during the seedling stage, with …

This review addresses possible adaptation strategies in rice production to abiotic stresses
that will aggravate under climate change: heat (high temperature and humidity), drought …

Soils that contain toxic amounts of minerals or are deficient in essential plant nutrients are
widespread globally and seriously constrain rice production. New methods are necessary to …

Rice (Oryza sativa), a salt-sensitive species, has considerable genetic variation for salt
tolerance within the cultivated gene pool. Two indica rice genotypes, FL478, a recombinant …
