Flowering stage drought stress resistance in upland rice in relation to physiological, biochemical traits and yield

Drought stress at flowering stage in upland rice is most damaging cause of yield reduction. Impact of drought stress at flowering stage on morphological, physiological and biochemical traits, yield and yield components are less understood. Present experiment was executed in pots under glass house conditions by taking six upland rice varieties namely Bagri, Nankawa, Bakaiya, N-22, Ashoka-228 and NDR-97.
