Reducing water consumption in crop production is no
w been generally recognized
as an essential strategy for eco-efficient agricult
ure to meet the global shortage of
water. Developing transgenic rice lines containing
the DREB gene and evaluating
grain yield and yield components under water-limite
d conditions is here considered
as a fast and effective plant breeding strategy to
develop drought-tolerant rice
varieties in Latin America.
