Crop yield reduction as a consequence of increasingly severe climatic events threatens
global food security. Genetic loci that ensure productivity in challenging environments exist …

Global climate change is strongly associated with variations in precipitation and flooding
events. Flooding usually causes submergence-or partial submergence stress in plants …

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 …

Submergence and drought are major constraints to rice (Oryza sativa) production in rain-fed
farmlands, both of which can occur sequentially during a single crop cycle. SUB1A, an ERF …

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 …

High-yielding varieties developed in the 1960s and 1970s at the International Rice
Research Institute (IRRI) and elsewhere benefited farmers and the public, ultimately …

Flooding is a frequent hazard in lowland rice environments and is expected to intensify with
climate change. Short-term submergence regularly affects over 20 million ha of rice in the …

Climate change has increased the global environmental risks, especially the impacts of
abiotic stresses on agriculture productivity. Among the abiotic stresses aggravated by …

Group VII ethylene response factors (ERFVIIs) play important roles in ethylene signalling
and plant responses to flooding. However, natural ERFVII variations in maize (ZmERFVIIs) …
