The impact of high-temperature stress on rice: Challenges and solutions
Heat stress (HS) caused by rapidly warming climate has become a serious threat to global food security. Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is a staple food crop for over half of the world’s population, and its yield and quality are often reduced by HS.

Rice: Importance for Global Nutrition.
Rice, a staple food for more than half of the world's population, is grown in >100 countries with 90% of the total global production from Asia. Although there are more than 110,000 cultivated varieties of rice that vary in quality and nutritional content,

Utilization of waste straw and husks from rice production: A review
As a staple food for much of the world, rice production is widespread. However, it also results in the generation of large quantities of non-food biomass, primarily in the form of straw and husks.

Sub1 Rice: Engineering Rice for Climate Change [PDF]
By the year 2100, the number of people on Earth is expected to increase by ∼50%, placing increasing demands on food production in a time when a changing climate is predicted to compromise crop yields. Feeding this future world requires scientifically informed innovations in agriculture.

Quantifying N response and N use efficiency in Rice-Wheat (RW) cropping systems under different water management [PDF]
About 0·10 of the food supply in China is produced in rice¿wheat (RW) cropping systems. In recent decades, nitrogen (N) input associated with intensification has increased much more rapidly than N use in these systems.
