Saccharide Content and Growth Parameters in Relation with Flooding Tolerance in Rice

Pre-submergence reserve saccharides was found adequate to substantiate the survival of tolerant cultivar under flooding. Survival percentage declined in both tolerant and susceptible cultivars with less saccharide content. However, it was more apparent in susceptible cultivar. Plant height, fresh and dry mass of shoots, leaf mass/area ratio and starch content per plant before flooding showed significant positive association with submergence tolerance. Hence, the improved seedling vigour could be used to increase submergence tolerance.

Keywords: chlorophyll; Oryza sativa; starch; soluble sugars
Subjects: chlorophyll, flooding tolerance; Oryza sativa; rice, flooding tolerance; saccharides, flooding tolerance; starch, flooding tolerance
