Genomics And Transcriptomics To Protect Rice (Oryza Sativa L.) From Abiotic Stressors: -Pathways To Achieving Zero Hunger, Mushtaq Ahmad

Center for Plant Science Innovation: Faculty and Staff Publications

More over half of the world’s population depends on rice as a major food crop. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is vulnerable to abiotic challenges including drought, cold, and salinity since it grown in semi-aquatic, tropical, or subtropical settings. Abiotic stress resistance has bred into rice plants since the earliest rice cultivation techniques. Prior to the discovery of the genome, abiotic stressrelated genes were identified using forward genetic methods, and abiotic stress-tolerant lines have developed using traditional breeding methods. Dynamic transcriptome expression represents the degree of gene expression in a specific cell, tissue, or organ of an individual organism at …
