Deep water rice is a variety of rice that grows in flooded or deep water conditions. Ethylene is a plant hormone that promotes internode and petiole elongation in deep water rice, allowing the plant to keep its leaves above the water surface. Ethylene is produced by the plant in response to flooding, and it diffuses throughout the plant to promote elongation growth.
