Plant responses to water stress

This cluster of papers explores the various physiological, molecular, and genetic responses of plants to flooding stress, including submergence tolerance, aerenchyma formation, ethylene response factors, hypoxia adaptation, oxygen sensing, anaerobic metabolism, root aeration, and waterlogging tolerance. It covers a wide range of plant species and provides insights into the mechanisms by which plants cope with complete submergence and low-oxygen environments.
