Soil flooding creates composite and complex stress in plants known as either submergence
or waterlogging stress depending on the depth of the water table. In nature, these stresses …

Submergence stress represents a major obstacle limiting the application of direct seeding in
rice cultivation. Under flooding conditions, coleoptile elongation can function as an escape …

Abiotic stresses adversely affect rice yield and productivity, especially under the changing
climatic scenario. Exposure to multiple abiotic stresses acting together aggravates these …

Global socioeconomic developments create strong incentives for farmers to shift from
transplanted to direct-seeded rice (DSR) as a means of intensification and economization 1 …

Climate change affects agricultural productivity worldwide. Increased prices of food
commodities are the initial indication of drastic edible yield loss, which is expected to …

Plant-specific group VII Ethylene Response Factor (ERF) transcription factors have emerged
as pivotal regulators of flooding and low oxygen responses. In rice (Oryza sativa), these …

Extremes in water availability (droughts and floods) have increased in frequency and
intensity over the past 50 years in farming regions throughout the world. In the United States …

Rice landraces tolerant of up to 2 weeks of complete submergence were collected from
farmers' fields in the 1950s. Success in fine map** of SUBMERGENCE 1 (SUB1), a robust …

Transient complete submergence reduces survival and yield on more than 20 million ha of
rice in rainfed lowlands and flood-prone areas in Asia. Poverty and food insecurity are …
