Towards climate-resilient rice (Oryza sativa L.): re-engineering root system architecture for abiotic stress tolerance: a review

Salinity-induced dynamics in root system architecture of Brassica juncea : Insights from rhizovision explorer-based root phenotyping for climate-resilient agriculture

The salinity problem is still a major challenge in crop production in agricultural systems worldwide, yet the impact of salinity on crop root system architecture at trait level in Brassica juncea is still poorly known. The root architectural response is of special importance in the context of how mustard plants rea...

Root system architecture plasticity is the key trait for drought stress adaptation in plants

Drought responses in rice (Oryza sativa L.): An integrated review of morphological, physiological, biochemical, phenological and genetic perspectives

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) production is severely affected by drought, which reduces yield, growth and physiological functions in various environments. This review integrates the morphological, physiological, biochemical, phenological and genetic responses of rice to drought, focusing on both common and environment-specifi...

Integrated Drought Resilience in Foxtail Millet: From Molecular Regulation and Multi-Omics to Climate-Resilient Breeding

This review constructs an explicit conceptual framework integrating cross-scale defense mechanisms—mechanistically linking molecular signal transduction and post-transcriptional regulation to cellular homeostasis and field-scale yield stability—and spotlight the emerging integration of machine learning-assisted breedin...

Crop Resilience to Combined Drought and Salinity Stress in Drylands: From Soil Processes to Genomic Solutions.

A unified framework that merges mechanistic discovery, microbiome-assisted breeding, soil and water management and systems-level predictive modelling is proposed, essential for developing climate-resilient crops to sustain dryland agriculture.

Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Breeding Strategies in Rice: A Comprehensive Review

Abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, and temperature extremes, as well as their combinations, often occur during rice production, negatively affecting rice growth, yield, and quality. The impacts include reduced leaf area and photosynthesis, inhibition of spikelet formation and development, and oxidative stress....
