The study investigates the drought susceptibility of modern rice varieties, particularly focusing on the linkage between drought tolerance and undesirable traits like plant height. It highlights the loss of the drought tolerance QTL qDTY1.1 during the Green Revolution due to its tight linkage with the sd1 gene for dwarfism, leading to increased drought sensitivity in high-yielding varieties. The research aims to break this linkage to develop high-yielding, drought-tolerant rice lines, thereby enhancing food
