Abstract

Direct seeding of rice, while cost-effective, faces challenges from adverse conditions. This study analyzed 66 rice varieties under cold and submergence, finding that superior germination varieties improved rates by 39.43%. Transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses revealed regulatory mechanisms, and exogenous metabolite application proved a cost-effective seed enhancement strategy. Combining variety selection with seed enhancement significantly reduces seeding costs.
