Iron (Fe) deficiency and toxicity are the most widely prevalent soil-related micronutrient
disorders in rice (Oryza sativa L.). Progress in rice cultivars with improved tolerance has …

High-yielding varieties developed in the 1960s and 1970s at the International Rice
Research Institute (IRRI) and elsewhere benefited farmers and the public, ultimately …

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 L.) is an important food crop for a large proportion of the world's
population. Total rice production will need to increase to feed an increasing world …

Background Fe toxicity occurs in lowland rice production due to excess ferrous iron (Fe 2+)
formation in reduced soils. To contribute to the breeding for tolerance to Fe toxicity in rice …

Iron (Fe) is a fundamental element involved in various plant metabolic processes. However,
when Fe uptake is excessive, it becomes toxic to the plant and disrupts cellular homeostasis …

Molecular marker technology has progressed rapidly over the last decade and is beginning
to be incorporated into breeding programs worldwide. As the technology is still relatively …

Lowland rice is often subject to iron toxicity which may lead to yield reduction. In order to
cope with this nutrient disorder, plants have developed resistance strategies. The aim of this …

Iron (Fe) toxicity is a nutritional disorder that affects lowland rice (Oryza sativa L.). The
occurrence of excessive amounts of reduced Fe (II) in the soil solution, its uptake by the rice …

Iron (Fe) toxicity is a major constraint in lowland rice. Because of its higher rusticity and
adaptability to adverse soil conditions, the African rice Oryza glaberrima constitutes a new …
