The article focuses on a research conducted by researchers at the University of California and the International Rice Researches Institute in which they identified a new gene which allows certain classes of rice to tolerate a long period of immersion during flood. The researchers identified a gene called Submergence1A-1, which boosted the efficiency of the rice sub-specie called Indica, to tolerate a complete and prolonged immersion during flood.
