Genetic advances in adapting rice to a rapidly changing climate by Jagadish, Krishna S.V., Septiningsih, E.M., Kohli A, Thomson, M.J., Ye C, Redoña E, Kumar, Arvind, Gregorio, G.B., Wassmann, Reiner, Ismail, A.M., Singh, RK

“…Rapid advances in the use of molecular tools, including a plethora of SNP markers, are expected to facilitate the development of major abiotic stress-tolerant rice. In response to the actual farmer field situation, progress achieved in understanding and developing independent abiotic stress tolerance is being exploited to combine tolerances (for example, heat and drought; salinity and submergence) to address emerging environmental problems across a wide range of rice ecosystems.…”
