Several studies have explored how arsenic (As) is absorbed and transported in plants, but less attention has been paid to its impact on rice growth and yield in relation to water management. We aimed to assess how arsenic affects plant development under different irrigation methods. The growth and yield parameters of four rice varieties ('M 488', 'Janka', 'Szellő', and 'Nembo') in two greenhouse experiments were analyzed in 2021 and 2022 under different irrigation methods (flooded (F), intermittent (I), and aerobic (A)).

The handheld leaf spectrometers help validate these images at the field scale. This dataset was captured by the CI-710 s SpectraVue Leaf Spectrometer (Cid-Bioscience, Camas, WA, U.

These data can be acquired with satellites, drones and handheld spectrometers. In this research, handheld spectrometer data were validated by chlorophyll-a fluorescence measurements under natural cold stress.

These unfavourable factors could have a serious impact on germination as well as on later growth, causing many types of damage. Recently, polyploid breeding can offer an alternative opportunity to enhance the yield and abiotic stress tolerance in rice breeding.

However, some bottlenecks-low induction rate, genotype dependency, albinism-restrict the widespread utilization of in vitro anther culture in rice breeding, especially in Oryza sativa ssp. indica (indica) genotypes, while an improved efficient protocol can shorten the process of breeding.

One of the main limiting factors is low temperature, especially at germination and seedling developmental stages. In early developmental stages, low temperature can impair and delay germination, as well as have negative impacts on seedling growth, causing poor stand establishment and non-uniform crop maturation [1].
