Advancing rice breeding for drought tolerance: a comprehensive study of traditional and mutant lines through agronomic performance and drought tolerance indices.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Drought stress is a critical challenge to rice production, necessitating the development of drought-tolerant genotypes. This study aimed to evaluate the drought tolerance of rice genotypes, including traditional parental lines (Hashemi, Khazar, Fajr, and Tarom Mahalli) and their corresponding mutant lines, under normal and drought stress conditions. METHODS: Agronomic traits such as plant height,...
