Genetic variation and physiological response of rice to heat stress at the reproductive stage when grown in aerobic production

Aerobic rice is one of the promising strategies to improve water productivity for rice production. However, high daytime and low night-time temperatures in the Riverina, particularly at the reproductive stages, will likely result in significant year-to-year fluctuations in productivity under aerobic conditions. There is a need to develop germplasms that can adapt to high and low temperatures under aerobic conditions.
