Abstract:
This study investigated the effect of transient submergence on the recovery of photosynthetic activity and translocation of photosynthate in IR67520 (Sub1A genotype) and IR72442 (non-Sub1A genotype) using 13C-labeled tracer, coupled with some photosynthetic physiological assessments. Plant growth, photosynthetic capacity, and photosynthetic recovery were studied by treating the two rice genotypes without or completely submerged for 7 days in transparent acrylic tanks filled with water to a depth of 80 cm, followed by 7 days of reaeration. Results revealed that the IR67520 was able to obtain new carbon source for assimilation during at 7 days of recovery periods. The IR72442 genotype partitioned 13C to the newly developed upper leaves more than the IR67520 genotype did. This was due to its inability to obtain CO2 from other source during post submergence. Recovery of chlorophyll content, ability to retain higher biomass, and ability to grow faster at 7 days of recovery periods also indicated the ability of Sub1A genotype to reactivate its photosynthetic capacity.
