Waterlogging stress is a major abiotic stressor that severely constrains crop growth and productivity. Aerenchyma provides intercellular air spaces to transport oxygen to the root, which is essential for survival under waterlogged conditions.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of different water regimes on some aspects of root anatomy of three grasses: Echinochloa pyramidalis (canarana), Setaria anceps (setária) and Paspalum paniculatum (paspalo).

Abstract While the photosynthetic diversity of aquatic plants rivals that of terrestrial species, the environmental conditions underlying that diversity fundamentally differ. Despite these environmental differences, aquatic and terrestrial plants have convergently evolved carbon concentrating mechanisms (CCMs).

Improving Flooding Tolerance of Crop Plants
A major problem of climate change is the increasing duration and frequency of heavy rainfall events. This leads to soil flooding that negatively affects plant growth, eventually leading to death of plants if the flooding persists for several days.

Decades of progress: Breeding modified soybean root systems
Abstract Decades of soybean (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) breeding have delivered substantial yield gains, yet how root systems have changed over this period has remained unclear. We evaluated 24 maturity group IV soybean cultivars released between 1930 and 2005 in field experiments at two locations over 2 years, and quantified topsoil root and nodulation ...

Would rice varieties without root aerenchyma perform better in upland environments? [PDF]
Increasing rice production to feed the world in the 21st century remains a critical goal despite water scarcity and climate change. Upland rice requires less water and emits less methane. However, its yield potential has yet to be optimised from a market
