Submergence tolerance in rice
Although complete submergence for only a few days can be highly damaging to rice, an inheritable tolerance trait has been identified in some lines. Jackson and Ram (pp. 227-241) review the physiology, biochemistry and molecular biology that underlie this difference in susceptibility, and assess the contribution that these studies are making to creating cultivars with superior tolerance to submergence in the field.
