Stories about Rice Flooding Tolerance

Dr. Su-May Yu

Distinguished Research Fellow

Institute of Molecular Biology

Most people probably do not know why in Chinese we called rice as water rice and the paddy as water farm, and why normally rice is grown under partially flooded (irrigated) conditions.  Irrigation is laborious and requires adequate water source.  However, farmers have been growing rice with this traditional way for thousands of years.  An important discovery by the human wisdom is in fact hidden behind the story of this very old rice farming practice.
