Flooding is detrimental for plants, primarily because of restricted gas exchange underwater,
which leads to an energy and carbohydrate deficit. Impeded gas exchange also causes …

Climatic variations influence the morphological, physiological, biological, and biochemical
states of plants. Plant responses to abiotic stress include biochemical adjustments …

The size of plants is largely determined by growth of the stem. Stem elongation is stimulated
by gibberellic acid,–. Here we show that internode stem elongation in rice is regulated …

Most plants do poorly when flooded. Certain rice varieties, known as deepwater rice, survive
periodic flooding and consequent oxygen deficiency by activating internode growth of stems …

During the last 50 years, it has been shown that abiotic stresses influence plant growth and
crop production greatly, and crop yields have evidently stagnated or decreased in …

Soil flooding severely impairs agricultural crop production. Plants can cope with flooding
conditions by embracing an orchestrated set of morphological adaptations and physiological …

Water submergence is an environmental factor that limits plant growth and survival.
Deepwater rice (Oryza sativa) adapts to submergence by rapidly elongating its internodes …

Environmental Plant Physiology focuses on the physiology of plant-environment
interactions, revealing plants as the key terrestrial intersection of the biosphere, atmosphere …

Growth and development are tightly co-ordinated events in the lifetime of living organisms. In
temperate bamboo plants, spring is the season when environmental conditions are suitable …

In several plant species, inflorescence formation is accompanied by stem elongation. Both
processes are accelerated in rice upon perception of shortening days. Here, we show that …
