Resumo(s)
"Rice is essential to feed the human population and is a key component in many
food security programs. To meet the increasing food demand without further
sacrificing natural areas, crop yields must be increased, which can be achieved by
reducing losses due to biotic and abiotic stress conditions that compromise the
production potential. Throughout evolution, plants have adapted to a diversity of
new habitats, developing fascinating complex mechanisms to overcome adverse
environmental conditions. The goal of this thesis was to explore rice natural
genetic diversity potentially useful to integrate into breeding programs, and to
identify and further characterize a selected candidate gene with impact on abiotic
stress tolerance.(...)"
