Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a globally important cereal plant, and as a primary source of food it
accounts for 35–75% of the calorie intake of more than 3 billion humans. With the likely …

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

Climate change may increase storms, flooding and other harsh weather events and, thus,
change geographical crop distribution, growing season and may also shorten the growth …

The predicted 2–4° C increment in temperature by the end of the 21st Century poses a threat
to rice production. The impact of high temperatures at night is more devastating than day …

High temperature‐induced grain sterility in rice is becoming a serious problem in tropical
rice‐growing ecosystems. We studied the mechanism of high temperature‐induced grain …

Plastic mulching with drip irrigation is a new water-saving rice cultivation technology, but
little is known on its productivity and water-saving capacity. This study aimed to assess the …

Rice yields are largely influenced by variability in weather. Here, we demonstrate the effect
of weather variables viz., maximum and minimum temperatures, rainfall, morning and …

Heat shock, a transient exposure to high temperatures, is a substantial hazard to rice (Oryza
sativa L.) production and sustainability. The objective of this review paper is to summarize …

Rice spikelets become sterile when exposed to high temperatures during flowering. Recent
experimental studies have shown that transpirational cooling and flowering time (within the …

A transient heat stress occurring during early seed development in rice (Oryza sativa)
reduces seed size by altering endosperm development. However, the relationship between …
