Describe flood-prone rice and its environment.
A. Farmers in South and Southeast Asia grow approximately 10 million hectares of flood-prone rice, which account for nearly 88% of all such rice grown in the world. There are three major kinds of flood-prone rice: deepwater, which tolerates water depths of 50-l00 centimeters; floating, which can be found in water up to 400 centimeters deep; and tidal wetland, which can survive submergence, sometimes in salty water, for short periods.

I have heard about japonica rice. What is it?
A. The japonica varieties have narrow dark green leaves, medium-height tillers, and short to intermediate plant height. It is usually grown in cooler subtropics and temperate climates, such as Japan, Portugal, Spain, USSR, Italy, and France.

What is indica rice?
A. The traditional indica rice varieties, widely grown throughout the tropics and subtropics, are tall and heavy tillering with long, narrow, light green leaves.

What is javanica rice?
A. Javanica rice belong to the japonica race of O. sativa, and thus are morphologically similar to japonicas. However, javanicas have wider and more pubescent (hairy) leaves. In addition, the grain frequently has hairlike awns. Varieties belonging to javanicas are grown only in Indonesia, in the rice terraces of the Philippines, and in the mountainous areas of Madagascar.

What are the main components of the rice grain?
A. The rice grain, commonly called a seed, consists of the true fruit or brown rice (caryopsis) and the hull, which encloses the brown rice. Brown rice consists mainly of the embryo and endosperm. The surface of the seed contains several thin layers of differentiated tissues that enclose the embryo and endosperm.

What are the parts of a hull?
A. The hull is composed of two modified leaves, the palea and lemma. They are held together by hooklike structures. The cells of the mature hull are highly lignified and brittle, with high concentration of silica.

Does climate affect rice yields?
A. Temperature, solar radiation, and rainfall influence rice yield by directly affecting the physiological processes involved in grain production, and indirectly through diseases and insects.
