Foreword
The significant yield loss of rice in response to abiotic stress and development of resilient smart rice crop has been described and documented in Volume I of the series Rice Research for Quality Improvement: Genomics and Genetic Engineering. Volume II of the series highlights broadly the biotic stress, herbicide resistance, and bioengineered biofortification in rice.
Biotic Stress Resistance Rice is constantly exposed to interaction with various organisms and subject to important diseases. An annual loss between 120 and 200 million tons of grain due to insects, diseases, and weeds in rice fields in tropical Asia is well documented. Biotic factors that damage paddy crop are virus, bacteria, fungi, nematodes, and insect pests. Many morphological, anatomical, physiological, and biochemical factors have been reported to be associated with resistance, each controlled by different sets of genes. Molecular breeding is used for development of re
