Food security and the protection of the environment are urgent issues for global society,
particularly with the uncertainties of climate change. Changing climate is predicted to have a …

The increase in the carbon-dioxide (CO2) present in the atmosphere as a result of human
activities affects the ambient temperature, and rainfall pattern in terms of season, duration …

Molecular oxygen and carbon dioxide may be limited for aquatic plants, but they have
various mechanisms for acquiring these gases from the atmosphere, soil, or metabolic …

Floods impede gas (O2 and CO 2) exchange between plants and the environment. A
mechanism to enhance plant gas exchange under water comprises gas films on …

Soil water‐logging and flooding are common environmental stress conditions that can
impair plant fitness. Roots are the first organs to be confronted with reduced oxygen tension …

Rice is a crop of primary importance in regions, where two-thirds of the world's starving
population reside. Recent climate change projections anticipate spatial shift in precipitation …

Natural and man-made ecosystems worldwide are subjected to flooding, which is a form of
environmental stress. Genetic variability in the plant response to flooding involves variations …

Rice is one of most important crops in the world and is also the most advanced crop for
breeding among cereal crops. Generally, rice is grown in lowland and flood-prone areas …

Plant's response to fresh‐and saline‐water flooding and the resulting partial submergence,
seems different due to the added complexities of element toxicity of salinity. We identified a …

Deepwater rice has a remarkable shoot elongation response to partial submergence. Shoot
elongation to maintain air-contact enables 'snorkelling'of O2 to submerged organs. Previous …
