The growth of plants is greatly affected by both excesses and deficiencies in water.
Environmental conservation, such as the greening of deserts, has previously received a …

Periodic flooding during the growing season adversely affects crop growth and productivity,
with the exception of flooded rice, in many areas of the US and the rest of the world. Soil can …

Flooding is one of the most hazardous natural disasters, and there are several levels of
flooding. Recently, research on flood-tolerant rice plants revealed that some rice varieties …

Flood avoidance mechanisms in rice involve a variety of adaptations that allow it to survive
and even thrive under flooded conditions. Two important mechanisms related to shoot …

Partial or complete submergence of shoots of rice (Oryza sativa L.) poses a dual challenge:
the roots have to function in anoxic soil and gas exchange between shoots and air becomes …

Flooding of soil rapidly depletes soil oxygen and alters plant metabolism, thereby inhibiting
growth. Reduced growth is preceded by stomatal closure; reduced photosynthesis …

Soil waterlogging damages most crops, with the exception of rice, which like other wetland
species thrives. Floods causing complete submergence can be catastrophic for crops, even …

Global warming is associated with an increase in submergence and flooding events, which
makes many ecosystems worldwide vulnerable to low oxygen stress. Water submersion can …

Flooding represents an environmental stress that has widespread effects on plants in natural
ecosystems as well as causing major crop losses. As climate change leads to more severe …

Global climate change is strongly associated with variations in precipitation and flooding
events. Flooding usually causes submergence-or partial submergence stress in plants …
