Other claims from this paper (11)
- Association Irrigation regime, genotype and their interaction significantly affected all studied traits of rice lines (p < 0.01).
- Intervention effect Under water-deficit conditions, chlorophyll content and relative water content decreased substantially compared with well-watered conditions.
- Intervention effect Under water-deficit conditions, leaf rolling, proline content and antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase and peroxidase) significantly increased compared with well-watered conditions.
- Intervention effect Under water-deficit conditions, sterility percentage significantly increased compared with well-watered conditions.
- Observation Genotype L8 had the best performance for chlorophyll content under water-deficit conditions.
- Observation Genotype Sakha-107 had the best performance for relative water content under water-deficit conditions.
- Observation Genotype IRAT-170 had the best performance for stomatal conductance under water-deficit conditions.
- Observation Genotype L5 recorded the highest grain yield under water-deficit conditions.
- Observation Genotype L11 recorded the highest grain yield under water-deficit conditions.
- Recommendation Physiological and agronomic traits can be considered effective selection criteria to improve rice productivity under limited water (author recommendation).
- Recommendation The elite rice genetic resources are promising germplasm for introgression to enhance drought resilience (author recommendation).
