Rice production is increasingly challenged by abiotic stresses—such as extreme temperatures, drought, salinity, and flooding—which undermine both yield and grain quality. Tackling these constraints is crucial for global food security and depends on improved farming practices, the development of resilient cultivars, and the adoption of emerging technologies.
Advances of Rice Research for Abiotic Stress Tolerance, Second Edition, integrates new research across multiple fronts, including advances in genetic markers, modern breeding approaches, and biotechnological tools. It updates readers on cutting‑edge methodologies to mitigate climate‑related impacts and introduces expanded content on microbiome‑driven resilience, sustainable cultivation and intensification techniques, and genome editing applications that enhance crop performance under environmental stress. By capturing current global trends alongside practical solutions in rice science, the volume serves researchers, educators, and professionals working across agronomy, plant physiology, molecular biology, soil science, and related disciplines.
