Drought Tolerant Rice for Ensuring Food Security in Eastern India (2020, background): “Even under normal conditions, these drought tolerant lines outperformed the currently grown popular rice varieties in drought prone areas [8,21].”
Bridging the Rice Yield Gaps under Drought: QTLs, Genes, and their Use in Breeding Programs (2017, background): “Drought has been reported to produce devastating effects in rice at panicle initiation and flowering [4,9]; in maize at the tasseling and silking stages [10,11]; in sorghum and pearl millet at the booting and flowering stages [12]; in finger millet at the flowering stage; in sunflowers at head forma”
WATER DEFICIT STRESS IN THE REPRODUCTIVE STAGE OF FOUR INDICA RICE (ORYZA SATIVA L.) GENOTYPES (2010, background): “It has also been established that yield traits are the most important criteria for water-deficit tolerance screening (Yang et al., 2001; Pantuwan et al., 2002; Kumar et al., 2008).”
Chilling and Drought Stresses in Crop Plants: Implications, Cross Talk, and Potential Management Opportunities (2018, background): “Similarly, Kumar et al. (2008) reported that many previous trials on drought stress tolerance failed to impose severe stress, therefore true and precise drought-tolerant lines were not selected.”
Advances in Drought Resistance of Rice (2009, background): “…yield gains from secondary trait selections have not been clearly demonstrated, although a few rice studies have identified the response of yield under drought stress in rice (Cooper et al., 1999b; Lafitte et al., 2004a, b; Venuprasad et al., 2007, 2008; Bernier et al., 2008; Kumar et al., 2008).”
