As sessile organisms, flooding/submergence is one of the major abiotic stresses for higher
plants, with deleterious effects on their growth and survival. Therefore …

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 …

Applications of metal oxide nanoparticles in the agriculture sector are being extensively
included as the materials are considered superior. In the present work, zinc oxide …

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 …

An important and interesting feature of rice is that it can germinate under anoxic conditions.
Though several biochemical adaptive mechanisms play an important role in the anaerobic …

Salinity is one of the major constraints in rice production. To date, development of salt-
tolerant rice cultivar is primarily focused on salt-exclusion strategies, which incur greater …

Seed-flooding stress is one of the most important constraints that affects the yield and quality
of soybean. However, very little is known about the molecular mechanisms underlying seed …

Rice, a key staple food crop in the world and India, offers food and nutrition security to
millions of the global population. Abiotic (water, soil, atmospheric) stresses affect yield and …

Nitrogen fertilizer and planting density are key factors affecting rice yield and nitrogen
utilization efficiency. There is still a need to optimize nitrogen fertilizer and planting density …

Prevalent irregular rainfall, flooding for weed control, and unleveled fields in the middle and
lower reaches of the Yangtze River all contribute to flooding stress on germination and …
