Profiling of Candidate Genes Associated with Cuticular Wax in Rice Mutant Tolerance to Drought Stress

Abiotic stresses, in particular salt and drought stresses that modifying the physiological and biochemical processes of plants lead to severely reduce the productivity of crops worldwide The development of new varieties of rice that can adapt to changing circumstances is important to sustainable rice production for worldwide (Vinocur and Altman 2005, Zhu 2016). To screening of drought tolerant lines, M8 lines of TILLING rice mutants were developed.
