SUB1A: a genetic basis for rice survival during submergence

Contribution grade

Crop stress tolerance · Scoped scientific or research-capability contribution

Reference score40,000Provisional editorial estimate of this exact contribution; its grade is assessed separately.

What changed

Xu and colleagues identified a SUB1A allele that improves rice survival during complete submergence and tested its function. The paper also reported transferring the SUB1 region into a widely grown variety using marker-assisted selection.

Scientific scope

Xu and colleagues identified a SUB1A allele that improves rice survival during complete submergence and tested its function. The paper also reported transferring the SUB1 region into a widely grown variety using marker-assisted selection. Scope limitation: The genetic and breeding results in this paper are distinct from subsequent variety release and farmer adoption. The tolerance has conditions and limits; it does not make rice immune to every flood, salinity or other stress.

Evidence

Assessment uses the catalogue-linked source evidence for the stated contribution. The genetic and breeding results in this paper are distinct from subsequent variety release and farmer adoption. The tolerance has conditions and limits; it does not make rice immune to every flood, salinity or other stress.
