Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: By integrating genetics and genomics data, reproductive tissues-specific and heat stress responsive 35 meta-QTLs and 45 candidate genes were identified, which could be exploited through marker-assisted breeding for fast-track development of heat-tolerant rice cultivars. Rice holds the key to future food security. In rice-growing areas, temperature has already reached an optimum level for growth,...
