Natural variation in the promoter of rice calcineurin B-like protein10 (OsCBL10) affects flooding tolerance during seed germination among rice subspecies
The ability for crops to withstand flooding has always been something that farmer's have dreamed of. In times of flooding, farmers are often left with fields that can't be planted and crops that have drowned. The loss of these crops to natural disasters such as flooding can be greatly reduced by increasing the plants' ability to withstand these dis...
