Variation in primary metabolites in parental and near-isogenic lines of the QTL qDTY12.1 : altered roots and flag leaves but similar spikelets of rice under drought.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: There is a widespread consensus that drought will mostly affect present and future agriculture negatively. Generating drought-tolerant crops is thus a high priority. However complicated the underlying genetic and regulatory networks for differences in plant performance under stress are, they would be reflected in straightforward differences in primary metabolites. This is because primary metabolites such as amino acids and sugars form the building blocks of all pathways and processes for growth, development, reproduction, and environmental responses. Comparison of such differences was undertaken between the parental line and a near-isogenic line of qDTY12.1 , a QTL for rice yield under drought. The comparison was informative regarding the effect of the QTL in three
