Evaluation of Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes for Iron Toxicity Tolerance under Hydroponic Conditions

P. G. Nikhil, M. R. Bindu, M. S. Niji & Mahesh Santosh Shirsat · Journal of Advances in Biology & Biotechnology · 2026

Background: Iron toxicity is a major abiotic constraint limiting rice (Oryza sativa L.) productivity in lowland ecosystems, particularly under waterlogged acidic soil conditions. Identifying tolerant genotypes through efficient screening methods such as hydroponics is essential f...

Conventional Vs Molecular Breeding Approaches for Abiotic Stress Tolerance in Cereals

Mahesh Santosh Shirsat, P. G. Nikhil, Bandela Chandana, Varsha P. Vengilat & R. L. Visakh · International Journal of Plant & Soil Science · 2026

Cereal crops are fundamental to global food security, yet their productivity is severely constrained by abiotic stresses such as drought, salinity, heat, flooding, and nutrient imbalances. These stresses are further intensified by climate change, leading to significant yield loss...
