Rice has been an important integral part of the economy of
Thailand or centuries. Not only is rice the staple diet of the people
but it also provides the major part of export earnings as well. Since
economic development is stressed in Thailand, a demand study of
rice is appropriate,...

Rice is an important crop that feeds almost half the world population. As climate change models predict floods, drought and extreme temperatures in rice production areas, the need to better understand the genetic basis of adaptation and tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses is vital to sustain our food supply....
A great potential for increasing upland rice production exists in
the savanna soils of Colombia. These vast areas are currently
underutilized. However, they have good soil structure, flat
topography, coupled with sufficient and well distributed rainfall,
making savanna soils ideal for upland rice cropping system. The major
constraints to upland...
Some biochemical activities in embryo or seedling of
germinating rice (Oryza Sativa L.) seed were studied to explain the
effects of suboptimum (20 C), optimum (30 C), and supraoptimum (40 C)
temperatures on seed germination and seedling growth. It was observed
that 40 C slightly speeded up seed germination but...
