Abstract excerpt
Tropospheric ozone concentrations are increasing in many Asian countries and are expected to reach levels that adversely affect crop production. Developing ozone-tolerant rice (Oryza sativa L.) varieties is therefore essential to prevent yield losses in the future. The aims of this study were to assess genotypic variation for ozone tolerance in rice, to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL) conferring tolerance,...
