Drought and waterlogging seriously affect the growth of plants and are considered severe
constraints on agricultural and forestry productivity; their frequency and degree have …

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

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

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 …

The diversity of plant surface structures, evolved over 460 million years, has led to a large
variety of highly adapted functional structures. The plant cuticle provides structural and …

We describe the general background and the recent advances in research on underwater
photosynthesis of leaf segments, whole communities, and plant dominated aquatic …

Abstract Rice (Oryza sativa L.), unlike other cereals, can grow well in paddy fields and is
highly tolerant of excess water stress, from either submergence (in which part or all of the …

Hydropeaking refers to frequent, rapid and short‐term fluctuations in water flow and water
levels downstream and upstream of hydropower stations. Such fluctuations are becoming …

Flooding is a widely occurring environmental stress both for natural and cultivated plant
species. The primary problems associated with flooding arise due to restricted gas diffusion …

The abrupt origin and rapid diversification of the flowering plants during the Cretaceous has
long been considered an “abominable mystery.” While the cause of their high diversity has …
