Description
Neeraj Kumar and five co-authors review how rice copes with heat, in a paper whose text dates to 2025. Rice feeds much of the world, and rising heat from climate change threatens harvests. The crop is most fragile while flowering, when heat can leave grains empty.
The review gathers what is known at three levels: the plant's shape and growth, its inner workings, and its genes. Heat stokes harmful oxygen byproducts that damage leaves and cut sugar production. The authors list gene regions and genes tied to heat tolerance, plus the control pathways behind them. They then weigh breeding, gene transfer, and large-scale data methods for building hardier rice. The paper serves as a guide for researchers racing the warming trend.
