Morphological & physiological basis of submergence tolerance in rice (Oryza sativa L.)

Author(s):
Anubhuti Singh, AK Singh, Anil Kumar Singh and Ankit Singh
Abstract:
Rice (Oryza sativa L,) crop is much damaged by several days of total submergence. The effect can be a serious problem for rice farmers in the rainfed lowlands of Asia, and runs contrary to a widespread belief amongst plant biologists that rice is highly tolerant of submergence. The present study deals with evaluation of promising rice genotypes for submergence on the basis of plant height, dry matter yield and biochemical parameters; carbohydrate & chlorophyll. Submergence stress for duration of 14 days duration given to rice genotypes and the difference in growth attributes i.e. plant height, dry weight & biochemical traits like carbohydrate etc. were quite evident between the susceptible and tolerant genotypes.
