Drought susceptibility of modern rice varieties: an effect of linkage of drought tolerance with undesirable traits

Green Revolution (GR) rice varieties are high yielding but typically drought sensitive. This is partly due to the tight linkage between the loci governing plant height and drought tolerance. This linkage is illustrated here through characterization of qDTY1.1, a QTL for grain yield under drought tha...
