Understanding anaerobic germination in direct-seeded rice: a genomic mapping approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Anaerobic germination is a critical trait for rice cultivation, particularly in regions that experience flooding or waterlogging immediately after sowing. Under direct-seeded conditions, where rice is sown directly into the field without prior transplantation, the ability of seeds to germinate in anaerobic (oxygen-deficient) conditions becomes essential for successful crop establishment. This trait is especially relevant in areas prone to waterlogging, were traditional methods of rice cultivation, such as puddled transplanting, may be less viable. Understanding the genetic basis of anaerobic germination can lead to the development of rice varieties that are better adapted to such challenging conditions, thus supporting more sustainable agricultural practices.
