Integrated analysis of yield response and early stage biochemical, molecular, and gene expression profiles of pre-breeding rice lines under water deficit stress.

ABSTRACT: Breeding high yielding water-deficit tolerant rice is considered a primary goal for achieving the objectives of the sustainable development goals, 2030. However, evaluating the performance of the pre-breeding-promising parental-lines for water deficit tolerance prior to their incorporation in the breeding program is crucial for the success of the breeding programs. The aim of the current investigation is to assess the performance of a set of pre-breeding lines compared with their parents. To achieve this goal a set of 7 pre-breeding rice lines along with their parents (5 genotypes) were field evaluated under well-irrigated and water-stress conditions. Water stress was applied by flush irrigation every 12 days without keeping standing water after irrigation. Based on the field evaluation re
