Phenotypic and transcriptomic responses of diverse rice accessions to transient heat stress during early grain development
Heat stress (HS) occurring during the grain-filling period has a detrimental effect on grain yield and quality in rice (Oryza sativa).The development of Hand Creams heat-resilient cultivars could partly solve this issue if tolerant alleles can be identified and incorporated into the germplasm.In this study, we posit that some of the phenotypic vari
