Genetic Loci Governing Grain Yield and Root Development under Variable Rice Cultivation Conditions

Genetic Loci Governing Grain Yield and Root Development under Variable Rice Cultivation Conditions

Drought is the major abiotic stress to rice grain yield under unpredictable changing climatic scenarios. The widely grown, high yielding but drought susceptible rice varieties need to be improved by unraveling the genomic regions controlling traits enhancing drought tolerance. The present study was...
