Fig. 1 Plant stand of the anoxia-tolerant rice cultivar vs. the local check cultivar in the tropics (data from 7 experiments, 6 locations). Each experiment involved 2 check cultivars and 5 to 10 tolerant cultivars. In the x-axis, plant stand of the better check cultivar is shown, indicating the character associated with the locations. The y-axis indicates the plant stand of the best anoxia-tolerant cultivars and mean of the tolerant cultivars tested
