Drought tolerance (DT) is a very complex trait. For the purpose of developing DT rice cultivars, a research programme was initiated in 1997 in China, consisting of four coherent parts: the development of a DT field screen facility and evaluation standard; the collection, evaluation and enhancement of DT rice resources; DT gene/quantitative trait locus (QTL) discovery; and DT rice breeding. More than 2000 rice accessions, mostly from China, were collected and evaluated in a new DT screening facility with a powerful water management system. Eighty-six entries were selected to serve as a core DT collection. A set of 187 recombinant inbred lines was developed for the genetic mapping of DT and high yield-related QTL under drought conditions. Several DT rice cultivars adapted to southern and central China were released. DT rice CMS lines were developed and distributed to most parts of China to encourage the development of DT or water-saving hybrid rice.

AbstractThe effects of drought and exogenous ABA on foliar anthocyanin accumulation and its role in drought tolerance were studied in two purple rice cultivars GS. No. 00621 and GS. No. 21427. The seedlings were grown for 14 days and separated into four groups including control (well-watered), drought (withholding water), ABA (foliar sprayed with 20 mg L−1 ABA and well-watered), ABA and drought (foliar sprayed with 20 mg L−1 ABA and withholding water). Drought was imposed by withholding water for 7 days. The results showed that drought significantly reduced root and shoot growth in GS. No. 00621, while had little effect on GS. No. 21427. Drought stress also induced anthocyanin overaccumulation in GS. No. 21427, whereas its content was reduced in GS. No. 00621. Exogenous ABA had no effect on anthocyanin in both wellwatered and drought conditions in both cultivars. Higher anthocyanin in GS. No. 21427 was coincided with higher DPPH scavenging ability, antioxidant enzyme activities as well as higher relative water content. It is, therefore, concluded that drought-induced anthocyanin overaccumulation may be different between purple rice cultivars and anthocyanin is beneficial for the response to drought stress by protecting plant antioxidant mechanism. Unlike anthocyanin in plant reproductive organs, exogenous ABA has no effect on foliar anthocyanin accumulation in purple rice. It is possible that anthocyanin accumulation in leaf and reproductive organs may be regulated differently or triggered by different mechanisms.

Drought tolerance is governed by constitutive and acquired traits. Combining them has relevance for sustaining crop productivity under drought. Mild levels of stress induce specific mechanisms that protect metabolism when stress becomes severe. Here, we report a comparative assessment of “acquired drought tolerance (ADT)” traits in two rice cultivars, IR64 (drought susceptible) and Apo (tolerant), and a drought-tolerant wheat cultivar, Weebill. Young seedlings were exposed to progressive concentrations of methyl viologen (MV), a stress inducer, before transferring to a severe concentration. “Induced” seedlings showed higher tolerance and recovery growth than seedlings exposed directly to severe stress. A novel phenomic platform with an automated irrigation system was used for precisely imposing soil moisture stress to capture ADT traits during the vegetative stage. Gradual progression of drought was achieved through a software-controlled automated irrigation facility. This facility allowed the maintenance of the same level of soil moisture irrespective of differences in transpiration, and hence, this platform provided the most appropriate method to assess ADT traits. Total biomass decreased more in IR64 than in Apo. The wheat cultivar showed lower levels of damage and higher recovery growth even compared to Apo. Expression of ROS-scavenging enzymes and drought-responsive genes was significantly higher in Apo than in IR64, but differences were only marginal between Apo and Weebill. The wheat cultivar showed significantly higher stomatal conductance, carbon gain, and biomass than the rice cultivars, under drought. These differences in ADT traits between cultivars as well as between species can be utilised for improving drought tolerance in crop plants.

Abstract. Ndiwa ASS, Mau YS. 2019. Yield and yield component performances of local pigmented upland rice cultivars from East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia in three locations. Trop Drylands 3: 49-55. Several pigmented upland rice cultivars from East Nusa Tenggara Province have been selected based on their agronomic performance, blast resistance, and drought tolerance traits. This study aimed to further elucidate the selected upland rice cultivars for their yield performance and stability in a multi-location trial in three locations. The results showed the significant effect of rice genotype, location, and interactions between rice genotype and location (GxE) on most observed variables, both in each location and across the three locations. Five genotypes produced average grain yield of ≥ 4.0 t/ha over three locations, i.e., NGR-22, PMK-01, ADN-05, Inpago 7 and Aek Sibundong. These five genotypes were found to produce high and stable grain yield under the three growing environments.

Drought is the main abiotic factor that reduces productivity of crops such as rice in the suboptimum area. This study aimed to identify drought-tolerance of local rice cultivars “Nusa Tenggara Timur-Indonesia” through their oxidative defense mechanism. In this study, 17 local rice cultivars and two control cultivars (Ciherang and Situ Bagendit) were used. Drought was imposed by using three levels of FTSW: FTSW 1 (control), 0.5 (moderate drought), and 0.2 (severe drought) during the vegetative stage. Growth parameters such as plant height, number of tillers, number of leaves, and total dry weight were higher in Boawae 100 Malam, Hare Tora, and Padi Putih Kuatnana than other cultivars. The analysis of relative water content, chlorophyll, carotenoid, and proline content also indicated that the Boawae 100 Malam, Gogo Sikka, and Hare Tora cultivar showed a higher result compared to control and other cultivars. Thess characters tend to correlate with the higher activity of antioxidant enzymes in Boawae 100 Malam and Gogo Sikka, when exposed to severe drought conditions. Based on principal component analysis of the physiological changes and enzymatic antioxidant activity, the Gogo Sikka, Boawae 100 Malam, and Hare Tora cultivars were classified as rice cultivars with higher drought tolerance
