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

Water scarcity is a significant environmental limitation to plant productivity as drought-
induced crop output losses are likely to outnumber losses from all other factors. In this …

Drought has a significant impact on rice yield by restricting the crop's ability to grow and
develop. Producing rice cultivars adapted to water deficit conditions is still the main interest …

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 …

This study was undertaken to understand the root-driven differential response of enzymatic
and non-enzymatic adaptive systems to drought in rice using 30 contrasting deep and …

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

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 …

Cereals have predominantly been used as a staple food since time immemorial and
contribute more than 50% caloric requirement of the global population. By 2050, an increase …

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 …
