About this title

Synopsis

Extending dry season cultivation of lowland rice and increasing climate change phenomenon has increased concern towards iron toxicity problem in rice. This manuscript provides basic information on the effect of such changing environmental phenomenon-especially that of transpiration- on iron toxicity tolerance mechanisms in some selected rice genotypes. The information included in this manuscript is considered to be utmost valuable to the students and the researchers who are interested towards the physiological mechanisms of iron toxicity tolerance in rice.
