Phosphorus deficiency and its availability in excess affect physio-biochemical performance, yield potential, seed vigor, and grain quality of rice influenced by Pup1 QTL
Our findings demonstrate that the Pup1 QTL enhances P deficiency tolerance, agronomic performance, yield, and seed quality in rice. The results also highlight the importance of efficient and judicious use of phosphatic fertilizers to support sustainable rice production, contributing to Zero Hunger (SDG 2), Responsible Consumption and Production (SDG 12), and Climate Action (SDG 13).
