Research activities on wet injury of wheat, barley and soybean in Japan
2011
Kawaguchi, K.
Wet injury of wheat, barley and soybean occurs frequently in Japan farming areas. To mitigate and resolve the problem, we held a symposium where stakeholders and basic scientists discussed this issue. First, we confirmed that good drainage manipulation in fields is a fundamental means to avoid wet injury. Second, a new finding about the relationships between pathogens and soybean seeds during germination was reported. Therefore, it suggested that pathogen control may diminish wet injury during germination. A hot topic was a novel approach to establish tolerant lines against waterlogging by genetic modification techniques using candidate genes for aerenchyma formation from Zea nicaraguensis. Wet injury is one of the most difficult constraints to resolve in agriculture; however, it is expected that advances in research through collaborative investigation by integrated research fields of various disciplines will help to reduce wet injury.
