widely adapted mega-varieties. Progress on incorporating better drought tolerance has been slow due to lack of appropriate
phenotyping protocols. Furthermore, existing protocols do not consider the effect of drought and heat interactions, especially
during the critical flowering stage, which could lead to false conclusion about drought tolerance. Screening germplasm and
mapping-populations to identify quantitative trait loci (QTL)/candidate genes for drought tolerance is usually conducted
in hot dry seasons where water supply can be controlled. Hence, results from dry season drought screening in the field could
be confounded by heat stress, either directly on heat sensitive processes such as pollination or indirectly by raising tissue
temperature through reducing transpirational cooling under water deficit conditions. Drought-tolerant entries or droughtresponsive
candidate genes/QTL identified from germplasm highly susceptible to heat stress during anthesis/flowering have
to be interpreted with caution. During drought screening, germplasm tolerant to water stress but highly susceptible to heat
stress has to be excluded during dry and hot season screening. Responses to drought and heat stress in rice are compared and
results from field and controlled environment experiments studying drought and heat tolerance and their interaction are discussed.","2011","published",,"Functional Plant Biology","38","4","CSIRO Publishing",,"261-269",,,,,,,,,,,"TRUE",,"1445-4408",,,,,,"","http://dx.doi.org/10.1071/FP10224","http://www.publish.csiro.au/paper/FP10224.htm","pub",,"University of Reading","",,,,,,"",,,,,,,"",,,,,"",,,,,"","",,,,,"","",,,,,
