Local climate affects growth, yield and grain quality of aromatic and non-aromatic rice in northwestern India

During the last two decades, night temperatures have increased at a much faster rate than day temperatures and global climate models predict further increase in both frequency and intensity. Such rapid increase during the crop growth stages, particularly during extremely sensitive reproductive and e...
