Abstract excerpt
Drought is a major environmental stress factor that negatively affects rice growth and yield. From a forward genetic perspective, we selected a drought-insensitive TILLING line (ditl4) from a gamma-ray-induced core mutant population (M10). Under drought conditions, ditl4 exhibited greater fresh weight, survival rate, chlorophyll, proline, and soluble sugar contents, and lower H2O2 and MDA levels than wild-type...
