Plants are exposed to increasingly severe drought events and roots play vital roles in
maintaining plant survival, growth, and reproduction. A large body of literature has …

Drought stress leads to a significant amount of agricultural crop loss. Thus, with changing
climatic conditions, it is important to develop resilience measures in agricultural systems …

The development of nutrient-use efficient rice lines is a priority amidst the changing climate
and depleting resources viz., water, land, and labor for achieving sustainability in rice …

Background The mechanisms underlying rice root responses to drought during the early
developmental stages are yet unknown. Results This study aimed to determine metabolic …

Root system architecture (RSA) is critical for improving nutrient and water uptake and
maintaining crop yield under both optimal and drought conditions. The meristematic zone of …

Drought is responsible for major losses in rice production. Root tips contain meristematic
and elongation zones that play major roles in determination of root traits and adaptive …

Water-limiting conditions can severely affect rice yield. Therefore, increasing plant tolerance
to water stress is a priority for many rice breeding programs. However, improving rice …

A semi-hydroponic system was developed to assess canola (Brassica napus L.) root
architectural traits. Four cultivars were grown under controlled conditions in germination …

Background The frequency and severity of abiotic stress events, especially drought, are
increasing due to climate change. The plant root is the most important organ for water …

Soybean transcription factor GmNAC plays important roles in plant resistance to
environmental stresses. In this study, GmNAC3 was cloned in the drought tolerant soybean …
