Screening of Some Traditional Rice Cultivars of Assam, India, for Their Response to Arsenic-Induced Abiotic Stress

Abstract: Rice is the staple food of more than 700 million people in the world and the most important food crop in Assam, India. However, the metalloid arsenic, which is widespread in the groundwater of many parts of Assam, adversely affects the productivity of different crops, including rice. In this study, seedlings of 23 different traditional rice cultivars were subjected to 0.5 mg/L (low) and 0.8 mg/L (high) arsenic under hydroponic conditions, and various growth parameters (viz., relative water content, shoot lengt… Show more

“…erefore, novel methods are required to overcome the effect of salinity stress so that production can increase. Moreover, salinity stress affects yield components, such as the number of grains per panicle, number of panicles, number of active tillers, and number of filled grains per panicle (Aref & Rad, 2012;Kalita & Tanti, 2020). Salinity stress can reduce yield (Khan et al, 2019) by as much as 30% (Ashraf & Harris, 2004).…”
