Rice production in these rainfed ecosystems is limited primarily by drought, flooding (submergence), adverse soils (salinity/iron toxicity), and cold (a climatic factor which is a major stress in the uplands).
 
STRASA Phase 2 hopes to bring the major scientific advances in plant genomics to bear on abiotic stress tolerance. This will create a technology platform for developing complementary crop management practices and improved institutional setups for rapid delivery of technology options to give the poorest farmers a realistic chance to improve their livelihoods in rainfed environments.
