Rice researchers from the Philippines and Thailand have identified breeding lines that can tolerate both prolonged flooding and high salinity, traits that could help develop climate-resilient rice varieties for farms increasingly exposed to extreme weather and saltwater intrusion. The study, conducted by the Philippine Rice Research Institute (PhilRice) in collaboration with Khon Kaen University in Thailand, found four rice breeding lines, SSal3, SSal15, SSal24, and SSal36, that showed tolerance to […]
