Riassunto:

Flooding is a significant challenge for rice cultivation, particularly in regions prone to monsoon rains and waterlogged fields. Understanding the mechanisms that confer submergence tolerance in rice is critical for developing resilient rice varieties that can thrive under such conditions. "Deciphering Submergence Tolerance Mechanism in Rice: Phenotypic and Molecular Perspectives" delves into the intricate biological processes and genetic frameworks that enable rice plants to withstand prolonged submergence. This comprehensive volume brings together cutting-edge research from leading scientists in the field, offering a detailed exploration of both the phenotypic and molecular aspects of submergence tolerance. The book begins by examining the physiological responses of rice to submergence, including changes in metabolism, growth patterns, and survival strategies. Readers will gain insights into the adaptive traits that allow certain rice varieties to endure flooding while maintaining productivity. On the molecular front, the book highlights the latest advances in genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics that have elucidated key regulatory networks and signalling pathways involved in submergence tolerance. Special attention is given to the Sub1A gene, a major genetic determinant of submergence tolerance, and its role in orchestrating a robust response to anaerobic stress conditions. The integration of these molecular insights with traditional breeding approaches provides a holistic understanding of how rice can be genetically enhanced for better performance in flood-prone areas. "Deciphering Submergence Tolerance Mechanism in Rice" also addresses the practical applications of this research in breeding programs.
