Abstract

Floods pose a significant threat to rice cultivation, affecting yield and food security worldwide. Developing floodtolerant rice varieties through conventional breeding has been challenging due to the complex genetic nature of tolerance traits. Marker-assisted breeding (MAB) has emerged as a powerful tool to accelerate the development of flood-tolerant rice varieties by enabling the precise selection of genetic markers linked to tolerance genes. This review explores the applications of MAB in enhancing flood tolerance in rice, emphasizing its integration with versatile tools such as genomic selection and CRISPR-Cas9 technology.

Key advancements in understanding the genetic basis of flood tolerance, including identification of key QTLs and genes, are discussed alongside practical examples of successful breeding programs. Additionally, the role of versatile tools in enhancing breeding efficiency and precision is highlighted, demonstrating their potential to revolutionize flood tolerance improvement strategies. Overall, this review underscores the importance of integrating marker-assisted breeding with versatile tools in breeding programs aimed at developing flood-tolerant rice varieties capable of withstanding adverse climatic conditions and contributing to sustainable agriculture.
