Novel QTLs for salinity tolerance revealed by genome-wide association studies of biomass, chlorophyll and tissue ion content in 176 rice landraces from Bangladesh.

Farmland is on the decline and worldwide food security is at risk. Rice is the staple of choice for over half the Earth's people. To sustain current demands and ascertain a food secure future, substandard farmland affected by abiotic stresses must be utilized. For rapid crop improvement, a broa...
