QTLs for tolerance of drought and breeding for tolerance of abiotic and biotic stress: an integrated approach.

QTLs for tolerance of drought and breeding for tolerance of abiotic and biotic stress: an integrated approach.

BACKGROUND: The coupling of biotic and abiotic stresses leads to high yield losses in rainfed rice (Oryza sativa L.) growing areas. While several studies target these stresses independently, breeding strategies to combat multiple stresses seldom exist. This study reports an integrated strategy that...
