Low Temperature Antioxidant Activity QTL Associate with Genomic Regions Involved in Physiological Cold Stress Tolerance Responses in Rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.)

Boosting cold stress tolerance in crop plants can minimize stress-mediated yield losses. Asian rice (<i>Oryza sativa</i> L.), one of the most consumed cereal crops, originated from subtropical regions and is generally sensitive to low temperature environments. Within the two subspecies o...
