Revealing the effect of seed phosphorus concentration on seedling vigour and growth of rice using mutagenesis approach

Scientific Reports, 2022
The harvested plant products, specifically, the grains of cereals are major drivers of soil phosphorus (P) depletion. However, the breeding or biotechnology efforts to develop low P seeds have not been attempted because of possible adverse effects on ...
