Developing crops that are better adapted to abiotic stresses is important for food production in many parts of the world today. Submergence stress because of flash flooding is one of the major constraints to rice production in rainfed lowland areas of the tropics. A major QTL against such stress, Submergence1 (Sub1) was identified from indica variety FR13A. It contains a cluster of three genes, Sub1A, Sub1B and Sub1C. All three genes encode putative ethylene response factors (ERFs). Sub1A-1 is a primary determinant of submergence tolerance in rice. This book describing different physiological...

Developing crops that are better adapted to abiotic stresses is important for food production in many parts of the world today. Submergence stress because of flash flooding is one of the major constraints to rice production in south and southeast Asia.. Submergence-1 (Sub1), a major quantitative trait locus affecting tolerance to complete submergence in lowland rice (Oryza sativa), contains ethylene response factor (ERF) like genes whose transcripts are regulated by submergence. Recently the Sub 1 QTL has been introgressed in highly submergence susceptible cultivar Swarna and the Swarna-Sub1,...

Fly ash is a waste product of industrial plants and its proliferation and toxicity have become a global concern nowadays. The management of fly ash deposits becomes imperative from the environmental point of view as the fly ash contains toxic metals that leach to the surrounding environment and can cause environmental risks for soil, air, and water. To overcome this environmental problem, revegetation and phytoremediation are urgently required for management of fly ash deposits. Revegetation with metal tolerant plants for management of fly ash deposits is an important environmental...

Traditional rice landraces are the reservoir of many useful genes, the majority of which remained untapped. Now-a-days due to modern agricultural practices these vital genetic resources are being gradually eroded. Koraput district of Odisha in Eastern Ghats of India is one of the centers of origin for Asian cultivated rice and the home to large number of traditional rice varieties. Present Book provides baseline information on Potentiality of Traditional rice landraces of Koraput to flooding tolerance. This book also highlights the genetic diversity and genotypic variability of flooding...
