Charting the protein modifications systems that underpin submergence tolerance in rice Currently flooding affects rice cultivation across 20 million hectares in Asia. To stabilize crop yields it is imperative to increase the capacity of cereal and vegetable crops to endure partial to complete submergence.  This project will provide greater resilience to submergence in rice production systems with climatic variability. Research and development activity contributing to the UK’s strategy to address key development challenges.
