Flooding is an environmental stress for many natural and man-made ecosystems worldwide.
Genetic diversity in the plant response to flooding includes alterations in architecture, …

Flooding is a widespread phenomenon that drastically reduces the growth and survival of
terrestrial plants. The dramatic decrease of gas diffusion in water compared with in air is a …

Plant-specific group VII Ethylene Response Factor (ERF) transcription factors have emerged
as pivotal regulators of flooding and low oxygen responses. In rice (Oryza sativa), these …

Flooding regimes of different depths and durations impose selection pressures for various
traits in terrestrial wetland plants. Suites of adaptive traits for different flooding stresses, such …

R iver floodplains are attrac-tive places to settle for plants, animals and, since, the beginning
of agriculture, people. Human habitation of floodplains is steadily increasing worldwide, as …

The majority of eukaryotic organisms rely on molecular oxygen for respiratory energy production
1 . When the supply of oxygen is compromised, a variety of acclimation responses are …

Unanticipated flooding challenges plant growth and fitness in natural and agricultural
ecosystems. Here we describe mechanisms of developmental plasticity and metabolic modulation …

The gaseous plant hormone ethylene modulates many internal processes and growth responses
to environmental stimuli. Ethylene has long been recognized as a growth inhibitor, but …

Growth in stagnant, oxygen‐deficient nutrient solution increased porosity in adventitious
roots of two monocotyledonous (Carex acuta and Juncus effusus) and three dicotyledonous …

Two different plant strategies exist to deal with shade: shade avoidance and shade tolerance.
All shade-exposed plants optimize photosynthesis to adapt to the decrease in light quality …
