Advance in Cloning and Molecular Mechanism of Drought Tolerance Related Functional Genes in Rice
With the global warming and population growth,the increase of agricultural water and the decrease of available fresh water resources,rice production is facing severe challenges of resources and environment.Among many environmental stresses,drought stress is one of the main factor affecting agricultural production,which seriously harms the yield and quality of rice.With the rapid development of molecular biotechnology,the genes,quantitative trait loci and functional genes related to drought stress are constantly being explored.In this paper,the progress of identification,cloning,molecular mechanisms of drought resistance related QTLs in rice were summarized,and aim to provide valuable information for the further study and molecular breeding of drought resistance in rice.
