Abstract excerpt
Drought can severely restrict the productivity of rice, and thus gaining an understanding of its molecular basis is essential for developing viable stress-tolerant cultivars. In this study, to identify the key genetic regulators of drought tolerance, we screened a gamma-irradiated population of 150 rice M10 core mutant lines and identified drought-insensitive TILLING line 5 (ditl5) carrying a frameshift mutation...
