Understanding the connection between climate change and desertification is crucial for mitigating their impact and preserving the planet's resources. Breeding drought-tolerant rice plays a key role in combating desertification and ensuring food security. This can be achieved through various techniques, including conventional breeding methods that generate genetic variation and introduce new drought-tolerant traits. Our approach promotes the re-vegetation of arid regions for ecological restoration, biodiversity enhancement, and sustainable farming - especially in vulnerable areas where climate...
