Abiotic stresses adversely affect rice yield and productivity, especially under the changing
climatic scenario. Exposure to multiple abiotic stresses acting together aggravates these …

This review focuses on recently characterized traits of the aquatic floating plant Lemna with
an emphasis on its capacity to combine rapid growth with the accumulation of high levels of …

Introduction Reverse genetic studies conducted in the plant with a complex or polyploidy
genome enriched with large gene families (like wheat) often meet challenges in identifying …

Photosynthesis is the key process that controls metabolic movements in plants. Water stress
reduces the rate of photosynthesis, leading to energy depletion and yield loss. Sucrose is …

Efficient assimilate partitioning between the source and sink organs to achieve increased
grain weight is coordinated by the sugar signaling mechanism. The expression of the genes …

Though a lot of research was carried out pertaining to above ground traits in relevance to
mitigating adverse effects of water stress; however, root traits play a dynamic role in …

Drought stress reduces crop biomass yield and the profitability of rainfed agricultural
systems. Evaluation of populations or accessions adapted to diverse geographical and agro …

Exploration of and understanding diversity and variability in genotypes of germplasm
determines the success of rice improvement programs. One of the most important …

Introduction Over four billion people around the world rely on bread wheat (Triticum
aestivum L.) as a major constituent of their diet. The changing climate, however, threatens …

Meeting the food needs of a growing population amid climate change proves to be an
arduous challenge for the agriculture sector in the upcoming decades. Rice is one of the …
