Variation in DNA-ploidy Levels of Reynoutria Taxa in the Czech Republic.

abstract：BACKGROUND AND AIMS:Submergence tolerance in rice is primarily attributed to the action of the SUB1 gene, but other associated traits such as leaf gas film (LGF) thickness, leaf hydrophobicity, porosity and leaf density have been known to aid submergence tolerance in rice. However, association of these traits with SUB1...
