"areas of preference" is a correct phrase that can be used in written English. For example, "The college offers students a range of degree programs to choose from, allowing them to focus on their areas of preference."
Natural coincidence of the areas of preference of the 7 abiotic stresses along with one nutrient deficiency in a narrow geographic region is literally impossible; rather it is the specific pattern of preferential distribution of abiotic stress tolerant rice accessions.
Different digital environments serve different interests (e.g. Amazon versus OkCupid) and thus capture different areas of preferences.
Remarkably, preferred latitude, longitude, and the area of preference of highly elongating rice accessions showed exactly the same pattern (Fig. 4b-g) as for other abiotic stresses.
Interestingly, the preferred latitude, longitude, and the area of preference of salt tolerant accessions remained the same (Additional file 1: Figure S1a-c, identical to the large-scale screening, Fig. 1b-g).
Therefore, we identified the area of preference for alkali tolerance and checked whether the preferred latitude, longitude, and the area of preference was in accordance with that of the salinity tolerance.
Surprisingly, despite the very limited number of highly tolerant accessions, the preferred latitude 20-24°N 20-24°Nitude (90-100°E) and the area of preference (Banglongitudeere still the same (Fig. 7a-c) as other stress tolerances.
Finally, we analysed latitude- and longitude-wise distribution patterns of deepwater rice cultivation areas to identify the preferred area of deepwater rice cultivation as well as to verify the area of preference of highly elongating accessions in accordance with the preferred area of deepwater rice cultivation.
We analysed the geographic distribution pattern of only salt tolerant accessions having a SES score of 1-3 (Fig. 1b-g) and identified preferred latitude (4° band), longitude (10° band) and area of preference of tolerant accessions.
The area of preference was identified based on the prevalence of tolerant accessions within the preferred latitude and longitude band.
Thus, the area of preference of zinc deficiency tolerant accessions should be logically in the same area of preference of alkali tolerance.
Therefore, we considered Bangladesh centred area as the area of preference of deepwater rice.
