Individual and concurrent effects of heat and drought stress on the growth and yield of two Malaysian rice cultivars

Heat and drought stress, which often co-occur due to water evaporation, are two major abiotic factors limiting the production of rice (Oryza sativa L.) It is crucial to enhance understanding of the effects of these abiotic stresses in rice, particularly for rice-producing countries like Malaysia, wh...
