"Rice Crop: Current Developments" ed. by Farooq Shah, Zafar Khan, Amjad Iqbal

This volume is dedicated to Rice - a staple crop in many coastal and non-coastal areas of the globe and requires a large production area.

With the increasing trends in population, it is pivotal to increase the production of this important crop for sustainability. The introduction of high-yielding rice cultivars through molecular breeding is one of the possibilities that can ensure sustainability. Additionally, development of new biotic and abiotic stress-resistant cultivars with higher nutritional value can revolutionize the rice industry.
