Establishment method affects rice root plasticity in response to drought and its relationship with grain yield stability by Xie, Xiaobing, Quintana, Marinell R., Sandhu, Nitika, Subedi, Sushil R., Zou, Yingbin, Rutkoski, Jessica Elaine, Henry, Amelia

“…These results reflect the complex interaction between nitrogen, drought, and even different types of drought (as a result of the establishment method) on rice root growth, and suggest that although rice root plasticity may confer stable yield across a range of environments, it might be necessary to more narrowly define the targeted environments to which it will be most beneficial.…”

Epistatic interactions of major effect drought QTLs with genetic background loci determine grain yield of rice under drought stress by Yadav, Shailesh, Sandhu, Nitika, Majumder, Ratna Rani, Dixit, Shalabh, Kumar, Santosh, Singh, S.P., Mandal, N.P., Das, S.P., Yadaw, Ram Baran, Singh, Vikas Kumar, Sinha, Pallavi, Varshney, Rajeev K., Kumar, Arvind

“…It is evident from this study that existence of epistatic interactions between QTLs with genetic background, QTL-QTL interaction and interactions among background markers loci itself on different chromosomes influences the expression of a complex trait such as grain yield under drought. The generated information will be useful in all the GAB program of across the crops for precise breeding.…”

Yield performances of japonica introgression lines selected for drought tolerance in a BC breeding programme by He, Y.X., Zheng, T.Q., Hao, X.B., Wang, L.F., Gao, Y.M., Hua, Z.T., Zhai, H.Q., Xu, J.L., Xu, Z.J., Zhu, L.H., Li, Z.K.

“…Progeny testing allowed the identification of 46 (40.7%) superior‐C418‐ILs that had significantly improved yield potential under water stress and/or normal irrigation, demonstrating the power of BC breeding in exploiting favourable variation hidden in the indica gene pool for improving complex traits of japonica rice. Increased height and accelerated‐heading were major phenotypic changes correlated with improved‐yield under stress in these ILs, suggesting the possible involvement of gibberellin (GA) pathway and drought escaping. …”
