Improving Flooding Tolerance of Crop Plants (2018, background): “However, only the first genetic trait, the ability to induce quiescence, has been successfully used for crop improvement [5,41], because the second strategy has negative effects on crop stability once the floods recede.”
Rice Cultivation in Bangladesh: Present Scenario, Problems, and Prospects (2016, background): “This variety is very important for early planting and, by its use, farmers could reduce the cost of replanting and acquire a high yield even with complete submergence for two weeks (Ismail et al., 2013).”
Drought Tolerant Rice for Ensuring Food Security in Eastern India (2020, background): “These varieties can serve as the most viable and deliverable technologies for eradicating poverty from the ecologies dependent on rainfed rice [19].”
Submergence Tolerance in Rice: Review of Mechanism, Breeding and, Future Prospects (2020, background): “This rare characteristic was induced by a single mutation that occurs in Odisha, a flood-prone area in India, and later spread among landraces, predominantly in Sri Lanka and India [1].”
Gains in Maize Genetic Improvement in Eastern and Southern Africa: I. CIMMYT Hybrid Breeding Pipeline (2017, background): “In 1991, the Eastern India Rainfed Lowland Shuttle Breeding Network for rice (Oryza sativa L.) was formed (Collard et al., 2013) and is responsible for the release and development of many improved cultivars, including submergence-tolerant varieties (Ismail et al., 2013).”
Technological Innovations, Downside Risk, and the Modernization of Agriculture (2016, background): “While the technology in our experiment has already been adopted by around 3 million farmers in India alone (Ismail et al. 2013), technological progress that makes seed varieties more tolerant to weather extremes is not unique to India.”
