A systems breeding framework integrating pangenomics multiomics phenomics and precision genome editing for reproductive stage drought resilience in rice

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is highly vulnerable to drought during the reproductive phase, with yield losses exceeding 50% due to spikelet sterility, pollen abortion, and impaired grain filling. Progress through conventional breeding has been constrained by the polygenic nature of drought tolerance and by strong genotype ×...

Genome-wide association analysis of drought resistance and yield-related traits in maize inbred lines in Northwest China

Drought stress is a primary constraint on global maize production, significantly impairing plant growth, reproductive synchrony, and grain yield. To address this challenge, we aimed to identify SNPs and candidate genes associated with maize drought tolerance, with emphasis on grain yield (GY) and its drought resi...
