“…The QTL QGyp2a for GYP detected in the region of 10693848-11540193 on chromosome 2 was mapped together with qDTY 2.1 affecting grain yield (Venuprasad et al 2009;Dixit et al 2012), the QTL for osmotic adjustment (Robin et al 2003), and the QRgvd2 for root growth rate in volume under drought conditions (Yue et al 2006). The QTL QSnp3a governing SpNP was localised in the region of 3502670-4681740 on chromosome 3 and was mapped together with the rn3 for root number in PVC-pipe at mature stage (Qu et al 2008), QRvd3 for root volume, and QRgvd3 for root growth rate in volume under drought conditions (Yue et al 2006), as well as the QTL for leaf rolling score in paddy soil condition (Yue et al 2005).…”

“…Drought can occur at any stage during the rice-growing season, due to inadequate irrigation, uneven distribution of rainfall, variation in rainfall patterns from one year to another or inadequate rainfall in large areas (Zhang 2007). The reproductive stage (from panicle initiation to flowering) is recognised as the most critical stage at which drought stress can directly affect grain yield (Lanceras et al 2004;Venuprasad et al 2009). Therefore, enhancement of drought tolerance (DT) in rice is becoming an important strategy to stabilise rice production in areas with rainfed agriculture.…”

Abstract. Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting rice (Oryza sativa L.) production. Quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for drought tolerance (DT) at the reproductive stage were identified with two sets of reciprocal introgression lines derived from Lemont Â Teqing. In total, 29 and 23 QTLs were identified in the Teqing and Lemont backgrounds, respectively, during the reproductive stage under drought and irrigated conditions for spikelet number per panicle, seed fertility, filled grain weight per panicle, plant height, and grain yield per plant. Most of these QTLs showed obvious differential expressions in response to drought stress. Another 21 QTLs were detected by the ratio of trait values under drought stress relative to the normal irrigation conditions in the two backgrounds. For 28 DT QTLs, the Teqing alleles at 23 loci had increased trait values and could improve DT under drought stress. Only five (17.9%) DT QTLs (QSnp1b, QSnp3a, QSnp11, QSf8, and QGyp2a) were consistently detected in the two backgrounds, clearly suggesting overwhelming genetic background effects on QTL detection for DT. Seven of the DT QTL regions identified were found to share the same genomic regions with previously reported DT-related genes. Introgressing or pyramiding of favourable alleles from Teqing at the validated QTLs (QSnp3a, QSnp11 and QGyp2a) into Lemont background may improve DT level of Lemont.

“…Both QTLs showed a very high effect (R2 = 16.3 and 30.7%) under severe lowland reproductivestage drought. These QTLs also showed pleiotropic effects on other traits such as DTF and PHT (Venuprasad et al, 2009). Another QTL, qDTY6.1 had strong effect on yield in aerobic drought stress conditions (Venuprasad et al, 2012b).…”

Drought is the primary cause of yield loss in agriculture throughout the world, and is currently the most common reason for global food shortages. Three-quarter of the most severe droughts in the last ten years have been in Africa, the continent which already has the lowest level of crop production and drought adaptive capacity. The increased incidences of drought and erratic rainfall have thrown small holder farmers in Africa into deep poverty, hunger and malnutrition. In this paper, the drought situation in sub-Saharan Africa and its impact on rice production was reviewed. Rice is particularly vulnerable to droughts as it has higher water requirement as compared to other crops. The review has also highlighted physiological and molecular plant responses to drought, with special focus on effects of drought stress on rice grain yield and other related-traits. With climate change predicted to exacerbate the problem of water security in Africa, it is imperative that we develop robust, well-planned and informed strategies to mitigate against drought. Various drought mitigation strategies including breeding for drought tolerance and water harvesting and conservation techniques are also outlined. In order to adapt to drought, there is need for a broad based approach that includes development of appropriate policies, putting in place necessary water related investments and institutions as well as capacity building at various levels.

Drought is the major constraint to rice production in rainfed areas across Asia and subSaharan Africa. In the context of current and predicted water scarcity, increasing irrigation is generally not a viable option for alleviating drought problems in rainfed rice-growing systems. It is therefore critical that genetic management strategies for drought focus on maximum extraction of available soil moisture and its effi cient use in crop establishment and growth to maximize biomass and yield. Extensive genetic variation for drought resistance exists in rice germplasm. However, the current challenge is to decipher the complexities of drought resistance in rice and exploit all available genetic resources to produce rice varieties combining drought adaptation with high yield potential, quality, and resistance to biotic stresses. The strategy described here aims at developing a pipeline for elite breeding lines and hybrids that can be integrated with efficient management practices and delivered to rice farmers. This involves the development of high-throughput, highprecision phenotyping systems to allow genes for yield components under stress to be effi ciently mapped and their effects assessed on a range of drought-related traits, and then moving the most promising genes into widely grown rice mega-varieties, while scaling up gene detection and delivery for use in marker-aided breeding.
