Abstract

We investigated the effect of partial submergence on internode elongation in a Bangladesh variety of floating or deep water rice (Oryza sativa L., cv. Habiganj Aman II). In plants which were at least 21 days old, 7 days of submergence led to a 3- to 5-fold increase in internodal length. During submergence, the ethylene concentration in the internodes increased from about 0.02 to 1 microliters per liter. Treatment of nonsubmerged plants with ethylene also stimulated internode elongation. When ethylene synthesis in partially submerged plants was blocked with aminooxyacetic acid and aminoethoxyvinylglycine, internode elongation was inhibited. This growth inhibition was reversed when ethylene biosynthesis was restored with 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC). Radio-labeling studies showed that ethylene in floating rice was synthesized from methionine via ACC. Internodal tissue from submerged plants had a much higher capacity to form ethylene than did internodal tissue from nonsubmerged plants. This increase in ethylene synthesis appeared to be due to enhanced ACC formation rather than to increased conversion of ACC to ethylene. Our results indicate that ethylene produced during submergence is required for the stimulation of growth in submerged floating rice plants.
