Abstract
The aerobic rice system/methods developed to tackle shortage of water, is a sustainable method to enhance rice productivity. Approximately 50% of irrigation water could be saved using this system in contrast to lowland rice cultivation. The crop can be directly seeded or transplanted in dry soil in this system rather than irrigated system of rice production. Here in this review we had tried to present all the important development made in regards to aerobic rice. Many QTLs responsible for aerobic traits in rice that have been mapped already are enlisted here. Brief comparisons of aerobic rice and conventional rice, further improvements made in aerobic rice have also been discussed.
