"Mapping of quantitative trait loci associated to Fe stress tolerance in the rice seedling"
Rice (Oryza saliva L.) demand is on the rise worldwide due to population growth, which has forced several countries to increase their production. Excessive iron (Fe) as abiotic stress, which often occurs in several countries, proved to be one of the...
