Flooding is an environmental stress for many natural and man-made ecosystems worldwide.
Genetic diversity in the plant response to flooding includes alterations in architecture …

4-aminobutyrate (GABA) is a non-protein amino acid that is widely distributed throughout the
biological world. In animals, GABA functions as the predominant inhibitory neurotransmitter …

The γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA), is a non-proteinogenic, four carbon amino acid having
multifaceted roles in both plants and animals. It plays an important role in plant growth and …

▪ Abstract Oxygen deficiency in the rooting zone occurs with poor drainage after rain or
irrigation, causing depressed growth and yield of dryland species, in contrast with native …

Nitrite is one of the players in the broad nitrogen biogeochemical cycle. This nitrogen oxo-
anion is involved in key pathways crucial to life on Earth and to the planetary “recycling” of …

One major effect of global climate change will be altered precipitation patterns in many
regions of the world. This will cause a higher probability of long‐term waterlogging in …

The decade since the publication of the third edition of this volume has been an era of great
progress in biology in general and the plant sciences in particular. This is especially true …

Aerenchyma–tissue containing enlarged gas spaces–occurs in many plants. It is formed
either as part of normal development, or in response to stress (eg hypoxia). Two …

Anoxia can be one consequence of waterlogging and submergence of plants. Anoxia in
plant tissues reduces the rate of energy production by 65–97% compared with the rate in air …

Inundation that gives rise to soil flooding, or more complete submergence, is the most
common environmental cause of oxygen deprivation for vascular plants. Species differ …
