Increasing Rice Grain Yield Under Biotic Stresses: Mutagenesis, Transgenics and Genomics Approaches

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Rice Research for Quality Improvement: Genomics and Genetic Engineering

Abstract

Rice (Oryza sativa L.) is the most important source of staple food to a major portion of human population. The production of rice is reduced by several kinds of biotic stresses. The main biotic stresses that severely hamper the rice production include viruses, bacteria fungi, nematodes and insects. Different conventional and modern biotechnological approaches have been implemented to combat the devastating effect of different biotic stresses on the rice production. Conventional approaches such as hybridisation have led to the development of stress-tolerant varieties. The modern biotechnological approaches such as genomics and transgenics have led to the identification of genes that confer tolerance to stresses followed by its insertion into the rice plants with the aim of decreasing the yield loss incurred by the different stresses. Mutagenesis, genomics and transgenic approaches have been very effective in developing varieties with improved tolerance to various stress factors. Here we review the creation of rice varieties with improved yield under different biotic stress, using mutagenesis, transgenics and genomics approaches.
