Rice is a premier staple food that constitutes the bulk of the daily diet of the majority of
people in Asia. Agricultural productivity must be boosted to support this huge demand for …

Sodium salinity negatively affects and reduces yields in international agricultural systems.
This stress decreases crop growth and development, causing tissue death, flowering …

Genetic diversity is a useful resource for crop improvement. In this study, a total of 28 rice
genotypes were screened to isolate potential salt-tolerant genotypes at the seedling stage …

Simple Summary Rice is one of the most significant food crops worldwide, predominantly in
Asian countries. Rice plant growth and yield are profoundly affected by salinity stress …

Provision of silicon (Si) to roots of rice (Oryza sativa L.) can alleviate salt stress by blocking
apoplastic, transpirational bypass flow of Na+ from root to shoot. However, little is known …

Plant growth-promoting endophytic (PGPE) actinomycetes have been known to enhance
plant growth and mitigate plant from abiotic stresses via their PGP-traits. In this study, PGPE …

The rice landrace Horkuch, endemic to the southern saline coast of Bangladesh, is known to
have salt tolerance traits and can therefore contribute to a high yielding recipient for …

Rice shows considerable variability toward salinity stress at the seedling and reproductive
stages. Though ion exclusion (IE) is one of the most important tolerance strategies, some …

Background Soil salinity is one of the primary causes of yield decline in rice. Pokkali (Pok) is
a highly salt-tolerant landrace, whereas IR29 is a salt-sensitive but widely cultivated …

Salinity has a significant negative impact on production of rice. To cope with the increased
soil salinity due to climate change, we need to develop salt tolerant rice varieties that can …
