Breeding Rice Variety with Suitable Plant Ideotype for Next-Generation Indian Agriculture in the Changing Climatic Conditions
The latter half of the twentieth century saw a tremendous increase in food grain production, especially rice, a major component of dietary intake in Asia. The Green revolution ensured food security but this wa...

Open AccessMulti-trait association study identifies loci associated with tolerance of low phosphorus in Oryza sativa and its wild relatives
We studied variation in adaptive traits and genetic association to understand the low P responses, including the symbiotic association of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonization in Oryza species (O. sativ...

Open AccessTrait variations and expression profiling of OsPHT1 gene family at the early growth-stages under phosphorus-limited conditions
To better understand the early response of genotypes to limited-phosphorus (P) conditions and the role of the phosphate transporter OsPHT1 gene family in the presence of PSTOL1, it is essential to characterize th...

Chapter
Genetics and Breeding of Low-Temperature Stress Tolerance in Rice
Low-temperature stress (LTS) is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect crop growth and ultimately decrease grain yield. The development of rice varieties with low-temperature stress tolerance has been a...

Open AccessNon-destructive phenoty** for early seedling vigor in direct-seeded rice
Early seedling vigor is an essential trait of direct-seeded rice. It helps the seedlings to compete with weeds for water and nutrient availability, and contributes to better seedling establishment during the i...

Open AccessIdentification of quantitative trait loci governing early germination and seedling vigor traits related to weed competitive ability in rice
Weed competitive ability (WCA) is vital for the improvement of grain yield under direct-seeded and aerobic rice ecosystems where weeds are a major limiting factor. Early seed germination (ESG) and early seedli...

Molecular Breeding to Improve Plant Resistance to Abiotic Stresses
Tolerance to abiotic stress is an important agronomic trait in crops and is controlled by many genes/quantitative trait loci (QTLs). As abiotic stresses significantly affect grain yield, it is necessary to com...
