Rice Breeding for High Grain Yield under Drought: A Strategic Solution to a Complex Problem
Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses that affect rice production in rainfed areas. Recent trends in climate change have predicted a further increase in drought intensity, making the development of new drought-tolerant rice cultivars critical to sustain rice production in this ecosystem. The...
