Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Rice is one of the most important food crops in the world. More than 40% of the world’s population eats a rice-based diet, and rice production, therefore, plays a considerable part in assuring food security and energy supply. At the same time, there are currently 820 million hungry people in the world. By 2050, it is estimated that the global population will exceed 9 billion, and about 70% more food will be required for human consumption. Furthermore, abiotic stresses mainly caused by global climate change and deteriorated environment occurred frequently. This brings about great threats to rice production systems and increases the risk of world hunger. Therefore, agricultural technologies conducive to increasing productivity, sustainability and resilience of rice grain production are in urgent need. This Special Issue aims at collecting studies providing effective strategies for improving grain yield, water (nitrogen fertilizer et al.) use efficiency, resilience of rice plant to unfavorable environmental abiotic stresses, and obtaining new sights on corresponding physiological regulation mechanisms. Papers including original research and reviews deal with the above topics of are welcomed in this Special Issue.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Agriculture is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

Surface ozone (O3) pollution is an emerging environmental abiotic stress that poses substantial risks to crop yield losses and food security worldwide, and especially in China. However, the O3-induced detrimental effects on double-season rice have rarely been investigated at large scales and over relatively long temporal spans. In this study, we estimated the crop production reductions and associated economic losses for double-season rice across southern China during 2013–2019, using a high spatial resolution surface ozone reanalysis dataset and rice distribution maps, and county-level production data, in combination with a locally derived exposure-response function for rice. Results show that AOT40 (cumulative hourly O3 exposure above 40 ppb) presented generally increasing trends over growing seasons in 2013–2019, spanning from 4.0 to 7.1 ppm h and 6.1 to 10.5 ppm h for double-early rice and double-late rice, respectively. Moreover, O3-induced relative yield losses ranged from 4.0% to 6.6% for double-early rice and 6.3% to 11.1% for double-late rice. Over the seven years, ambient O3 exposure resulted in crop production losses of 1951.5 × 104 tons and economic losses of 8,081.03 million USD in total. To combat the O3-induced agricultural risks, measures such as stringent precursors emission reductions and breeding O3-resistant cultivars should be continuously implemented in the future.
