The Current Relationship Between Ultraviolet-B Radiation Stress and Drought Stress in Rice: An Avenue for Developing Multiple Resistant Crops
摘要
Ultraviolet‑B (UV-B) radiation and drought are two environmental stresses that significantly reduce rice quality, yield, and growth. Nevertheless, there are currently few studies on the association between drought stress and UV‑B radiation stress. This review examined the complex interactions between UV‑B radiation stress and drought stress, with an emphasis on the cumulative impact that these stresses have on the rice crop. The review looks at how rice responds to these stresses on a physiological, biochemical, and molecular level, emphasizing shared signaling pathways and defense mechanisms. According to much literature, simultaneous exposure to UV‑B radiation and drought can have synergistic effects that can intensify damage or cause particular adaptive reactions. Through the integration of biotechnological methods and advanced breeding techniques, the review offers strategies for developing rice cultivars that are resilient to both drought and UV‑B radiation.
