Multi-trait association study identifies loci associated with tolerance of low phosphorus in Oryza sativa and its wild relatives.

We studied variation in adaptive traits and genetic association to understand the low P responses, including the symbiotic association of arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal colonization in Oryza species (O. sativa, O. nivara, and O.

Improvement of Phosphorus Use Efficiency in Rice by Adopting Image-Based Phenotyping and Tolerant Indices.

Phosphorus is one of the second most important nutrients for plant growth and development, and its importance has been realised from its role in various chains of reactions leading to better crop dynamics accompanied by optimum yield. However, the injudicious use of phosphorus (P) and non-renewability across the globe severely limit the agricultural production of crops, such as rice. The development of P-efficient cultivar can be achieved by screening genotypes either by destructive or non-destructive approaches.
