The International Rice Research Institute is now directing its attention on three areas. The scientists want to help flooded rice sprouts continue to grow normally. They also want to look for other genes that do what SUB1 does. And they want to produce plants that can survive total and partial flooding in soil that never completely drains during the rainy season.
Laurentius Voesenek is with Utrecht University in the Netherlands. He is working to identify qualities that help plants deal with flooding. His work is on ethylene, a gas released by plants once they are covered with water.
Scientists are also sharing work on crops in standing flooding. Mr. Ismail says this is important to learning about what will help farmers use the wet soil of flooded fields for other crops such as maize, wheat and barley.庄稼损失达总量的七分之一，Abdelbagi Ismail表示研究人员希望找到一种方法使受涝水稻能够存活更长时间。
国际水稻研究所目前正将关注指向三个区域。科学家们希望帮助受涝水稻秧苗继续正常成长。他们还希望寻找和SUB1有着同样功能的基因。他们希望研制出能在雨季期间，全部或部分淹没无法完全排水的土壤中依然得以存活的植株。
Laurentius Voesenek就职于荷兰的乌德勒支大学，他正努力识别可以帮助植株应对洪水的特质。他的工作就是研究乙烯，植物一旦被水淹没后就会释放的一种气体。
科学家们也在庄稼抗洪研究方面进行分工。Ismail先生称，这对于了解什么可以帮助农民使用洪涝地区的湿土来种植其他诸如玉米、小麦和大麦一类的作物很重要。
