Rice
- Rice is a unique crop grown in various ecologies. It is cultivated in all types of ecologies. Rice productivity in stress-prone areas of eastern India is low and fragile. Growing tolerant varieties increase crop tolerance to abiotic stress and crop yield.
- Within rice crops, variety shows the difference in response to
various stresses. Also, climate-resilient rice varieties with a higher
allocation of photosynthates to seeds help in reducing photosynthate allocation
belowground to methanogens, ultimately mitigating CH4 emission.
