Contrasting development of lysigenous aerenchyma in two rice genotypes under phosphorus deficiency
BMC Research Notes, 2018 Objectives Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major limitation to plant growth. Under several abiotic stresses, including P deficiency, upland cereal crops, such as maize, are well known to develop lysigenous aerenchyma, a root tissue containing gas spaces ...

Transcription factor bHLH121 regulates root cortical aerenchyma formation in maize
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2023 Root anatomical phenotypes present a promising yet underexploited avenue to deliver major improvements in yield and climate resilience of crops by improving water and nutrient uptake. For instance, the formation of root cortical aerenchyma (RCA) significantly increases soil exploration and resource capture by reducing the metabolic costs of root tissue.

Effects of anti-auxins on secondary aerenchyma formation in flooded soybean hypocotyls
Plant Production Science, 2016 In flooded hypocotyl of soybean (Glycine max), cell division in phellogen and the elongation of these cells are enhanced, and thereby a secondary aerenchyma with high porosity is produced.

Lysigenous aerenchyma formation: responsiveness to waterlogging in oil palm roots
Biologia Plantarum, 2021 Oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) responds to waterlogging stress by induction of lysigenous aerenchyma tissues, which facilitates the flow of oxygen through their root tissues for survival under waterlogged conditions.

Reduced methane emissions from large-scale changes in water management of China’s rice paddies during 1980-2000 [PDF]
, 2002 Decreased methane emissions from paddy rice may have contributed to the decline in the rate of increase of global atmospheric methane (CH4) concentration over the last 20 years. In China, midseason paddy drainage, which reduces growing season CH4 fluxes,

Aerenchyma formation in maize roots
Biologia plantarum, 2009 Maize (Zea mays L.) is generally considered to be a plant with aerenchyma formation inducible by environmental conditions. In our study, young maize plants, cultivated in various ways in order to minimise the stressing effect of hypoxia, flooding, mechanical impedance or nutrient starvation, were examined for the presence of aerenchyma in their primary

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 Anaerobics increase resistance to gas transport and microbial activity in flooded soils. This may result in the presence of aerenchyma in the roots of some wetland plants.

Flooding tolerance in plants [PDF]
, 2012 Global warming is associated with an increase in flooding events, making many ecosystems worldwide vulnerable to submergence. Water submersion can severely affect crop production, since it drastically reduces oxygen availability necessary for plants ...

Bomb-14C analysis of ecosystem respiration reveals that peatland vegetation facilitates release of old carbon [PDF]
, 2009 The largest terrestrial-to-atmosphere carbon flux is respired CO<sub>2</sub>. However, the partitioning of soil and plant sources, understanding of contributory mechanisms, and their response to climate change are uncertain.
