Abstract
Despite the availability of flood-tolerant genotypes with Sub1a-mediated elongation, SK has been depicted as the primary gene responsible for elongation under prolonged submergence. However, the combined role of both loci (Sub1a and SK) are prerequisites for the survival of rice plants under flash floods followed by stagnant floods that are yet to be revealed. The combinatorial action of Sub1a and SK in a selected group of lowland rice with the simultaneous presence of both loci were studied for their physio-biochemical performance under induced flash flood followed by water stagnation for 21 days. Among the lines, var. Ganga Sali showed elongation and Kalapatia showed quiescence growth with varied degrees of aerenchyma formation. Further, it was endorsed that var. Ganga Sali showed the highest enzymatic activity of ADH and minimal for PDC under submerged conditions. RT PCR-based expression analysis of Sub1a, SK1, SK2, adh1, pdc1, and susy1 genetic loci under differential submergence showed a mixed response to the depth and duration of the induced flood, among which Sub1a and SK2 showed distinct differences between normal and test plant tissue. From expression analysis, the differential activity of Sub1a and SK2 was recorded, which showed that during the onset of flood, Sub1a starts to express in both the var. Ganga Sali and var. Kalapatia, but as the flood prevails for a longer period, the expression of Sub1a is masked by both SK1 and SK2. Overall, the study demonstrates the combinatorial role of both the genes in two studied rice lines under different flood regimes and their effect on phenotype. The present work may be the first report on the combinatorial expression of Sub1a and SK under differentially induced submergence on a mixed rice population.

期刊介绍:
Plant Gene publishes papers that focus on the regulation, expression, function and evolution of genes in plants, algae and other photosynthesizing organisms (e.g., cyanobacteria), and plant-associated microorganisms. Plant Gene strives to be a diverse plant journal and topics in multiple fields will be considered for publication. Although not limited to the following, some general topics include: Gene discovery and characterization, Gene regulation in response to environmental stress (e.g., salinity, drought, etc.), Genetic effects of transposable elements, Genetic control of secondary metabolic pathways and metabolic enzymes. Herbal Medicine - regulation and medicinal properties of plant products, Plant hormonal signaling, Plant evolutionary genetics, molecular evolution, population genetics, and phylogenetics, Profiling of plant gene expression and genetic variation, Plant-microbe interactions (e.g., influence of endophytes on gene expression; horizontal gene transfer studies; etc.), Agricultural genetics - biotechnology and crop improvement.
