Summary
This study investigates the impact of drought stress on rice (Oryza sativa L.) yield and quality. Findings reveal significant reductions in grain yield and altered nutritional profiles under water-scarce conditions.
Area of Science:
- Agricultural Science
- Plant Physiology
Background:
- Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a vital global food staple.
- Drought stress poses a significant threat to rice production and food security.

Recombinant DNA technology called transgenesis is often used to add a foreign gene or remove a detrimental gene from an organism. Such genetically modified organisms are called transgenic organisms.
The first-ever transgenic plant was a tobacco plant developed in 1983 that showed resistance against the tobacco mosaic virus. Since then, many transgenic plants have been developed and commercialized for improving the agricultural, ornamental, and horticultural value of a crop plant. Transgenic...
