Genetic and molecular characterization of submergence response identifies Subtol6 as a major submergence tolerance locus in maize.
Maize is highly sensitive to short term flooding and submergence. Early season flooding reduces germination, survival and growth rate of maize seedlings. We aimed to discover genetic variation for submergence tolerance in maize and elucidate the genetic basis of submergence tolerance through transcr...
