The Sub1 gene--identified by researchers at the International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and University of California--enables rice to survive complete submergence for up to 17 days--seeing is believing! To show the effect of the Sub1 gene, a time-lapse video, done over the period of 14 June-16 October 2007 on the IRRI farm, was prepared by IRRI's photography and video section.

As if there is a video on waterproof rice.. in my biology class I just did a giant project on waterproof rice. Sub-1A gene! weew.. aha I am a nerd yea, i know.
-
Even if rice grows on flooded soils it is sensitive to complete submergence. Only some varieties can survive this stress-condition using different strategies (avoidance or the metabolic quiescence shown here).
-
I don´t get it. Is this dry land rice? Otherwise why sould flooding be a problem?
-
This is a very interesting film, especially the way it shows science 'in action' right before your eyes.
-
The discovery of this gene allows for development of new rice varieties that can withstand flooding, thus overcoming one of agriculture's oldest challenges and offering relief to millions of poor rice farmers around the world.
