Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND AND AIMS: When rice seeds germinate under complete submergence, only the coleoptile elongates efficiently. It has been reported previously that coleoptile elongation is reduced in the rice alcohol dehydrogenase 1 (ADH1)-deficient mutant, reduced adh activity (rad). The aim of this study was to elucidate how expressions of genes responsible for coleoptile elongation are affected by the ADH1 deficiency...
