Development of salinity tolerance in rice by constitutive-overexpression of genes involved in the regulation of programmed cell death

Development of salinity tolerance in rice by constitutive-overexpression of genes involved in the regulation of programmed cell death

Environmental factors contribute to over 70% of crop yield losses worldwide. Of these drought and salinity are the most significant causes of crop yield reduction. Rice is an important staple crop that feeds more than half of the world’s population. However among the agronomically important cereals...
