Aldehyde releasing capacity in relation to submergence tolerance in rice
2001
Sarkar, R.K. (Central Rice Research Institute, Cuttack Orissa (India))
An experiment with thirteen rice cultivars showed that release of aldehyde content was more in submerged seedlings than in non-submerged ones. Susceptible rice varieties released more aldehyde than tolerant types. Correlation between aldehyde content released by sumberged seedlings showed highly negative significant association with survival % after submergence. Results suggest that measurement of aldehyde content might be useful to indentify superior donors for submergence tolerance even at seedlings stage.
