Academician Tuan-hua David Ho and his team discovered that flooding and hypoxia increase the accumulation of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), which induces the expression of the mitochondrial AOX1a gene and regulates glycolysis and fermentation to sustain ATP production, thereby enhancing flooding tolerance in rice. The study was published in Plant Biotechnology Journal (Nguyen et al., 2024).
