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 …

Increases in rice productivity are significantly hampered because of the increase in the
occurrence of abiotic stresses, including drought, salinity, and submergence. Developing a …

Introduction Rice, one of the major staple food crops is frequently affected by various
biotic/abiotic stresses including drought, salinity, submergence, heat, Bacterial leaf blight …

Abiotic stresses arising as consequences of climate change pose a serious threat to
agricultural productivity on a global scale. Most cultivated crop varieties exhibit susceptibility …

Background Bacterial leaf blight (BLB) is one of the major biotic stress in rice cultivation.
Management techniques, such as the development of BLB-resistant cultivars, are required to …

Flash flooding (FF) along with bacterial blight (BB) outbreak are very destructive for rice
production in the rainfed shallow-lowland (RSL) ecosystem. The presence of dynamic Xoo …

With the fast increase of human population and reduction in land areas under cultivation, it is
essential to breed rice varieties with higher yield potential and tolerance to multiple stresses …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stress limiting rice productivity under marginal
environments. The progress in development of salinity tolerant rice varieties is slow due to …

Conventional breeding approaches have played a significant role in meeting the food
demand remarkably well until now. However, the increasing population, yield plateaus in …

The decline in crop productivity due to climate change is a major issue that threatens global
food security and is the main challenge for breeders today in developing sustainable …
