Rice production and research have met unprecedented challenges in recent years. Yield
and total production have plateaued for many years in some major producing rice …

Salinity is one of the major abiotic stresses which impose constraints to plant growth and
production. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is one of the most important staple food crops and a model …

Salinity stress is a major threat to global food production and its intensity is continuously
increasing because of anthropogenic activities. Wheat is a staple food and a source of …

Key message Reproductive stage salinity tolerance is most critical for rice as it determines
the yield under stress. Few studies have been undertaken for this trait as phenotyping was …

Improper use of water resources in irrigation that contain a significant amount of salts, faulty
agronomic practices such as improper fertilization, climate change etc. are gradually …

Plant landraces represent heterogeneous, local adaptations of domesticated species, and
thereby provide genetic resources that meet current and new challenges for farming in …

Cereals are grown in almost every region of the world and are exposed to a variety of
environmental stresses that severely affect their growth and grain yield. Of various abiotic …

This review describes physiological mechanisms and selectable indicators of gene action,
with the aim of promoting new screening methods to identify genetic variation for increasing …

Salinity tolerance in rice is highly desirable to sustain production in areas rendered saline
due to various reasons. It is a complex quantitative trait having different components, which …

The renewed focus on cereal landraces is a response to some negative consequences of
modern agriculture and conventional breeding which led to a reduction of genetic diversity …
