Untargeted metabolomics analysis in tolerant and susceptible landraces of rice under sodicity stress.

Sodicity is a major abiotic stress affecting rice production by disrupting soil structure and impairing major physiological processes in plants. Landraces possess high genetic diversity and exhibit strong adaptation to diverse environmental stresses, including sodicity. In the present study, we screened 47 landraces and identified Norungan as highly tolerant to sodicity based on morpho-physiological traits.

Multi-locus genome-wide association studies reveal genomic regions associated with sodicity tolerance in rice.

Rice is a major food crop and serves as the primary food source for over half of the world's population, particularly in Asia. However, its cultivation is constrained by several abiotic stresses, notably sodicity, which significantly reduces productivity and is expected to worsen in the near future. In this study, a genome-wide association study (GWAS) was conducted to identify genomic regions and candidate genes associated with sodicity tolerance in rice.

Prioritization of candidate genes regulating the dwarfness in rice by integration of whole-genome and transcriptome analyses.

Dwarfism is a major trait for developing lodging-resistant rice cultivars. Gamma irradiation-induced mutagenesis has proven to be an effective method for generating dwarf rice mutants. In this research, we isolated a dwarf mutant from Anna R (4) in the M generation and subsequently stabilized the trait through successive selfing of progeny across the M-M generations.

De Novo Transcriptome Assembly of Rice Bean () and Characterization of WRKY Transcription Factors Response to Aluminum Stress.

Rice bean is an underutilized legume crop cultivated in Asia, and it is a good source of protein, minerals, and essential fatty acids for human consumption. Moreover, the leaves left over after harvesting rice bean seeds contain various biological constituents beneficial to humans and animals. In our study, we performed a de-novo transcriptome assembly of rice bean, characterized the WRKY transcription factors, and studied their response to aluminum stress.

Multi-Omics and Integrative Approach towards Understanding Salinity Tolerance in Rice: A Review.

Rice ( L.) plants are simultaneously encountered by environmental stressors, most importantly salinity stress. Salinity is the major hurdle that can negatively impact growth and crop yield.

Early flowering, good grain quality mutants through gamma rays and EMS for enhancing per day productivity in rice ( L.).

Purpose: Rice is the prominent crop of world and it frames the important component of food chain. But, long duration of highly preferred rice varieties requires more water and are prone to biotic and abiotic stresses. Short duration rice varieties serve as a promising alternative in such cases.

Comparative Profiling of Volatile Compounds in Popular South Indian Traditional and Modern Rice Varieties by Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Analysis.

Rice ( L.) is one of the major cereal crops cultivated across the world, particularly in Southeast Asia with 95% of global production. The present study was aimed to evaluate the total phenolic content (TPC) and to profile all the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of eight popular traditional and two modern rice varieties cultivated in South India.
