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

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

Phytohormones participate in various processes over the course of a plant's lifecycle. In
addition to the five classical phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins, gibberellins, abscisic acid …

Over the past decade, advances in both molecular developmental biology and evolutionary
ecology have made possible a new understanding of organisms as dynamic systems …

Flooding is detrimental for nearly all higher plants, including crops. The compound stress
elicited by slow gas exchange and low light levels under water is responsible for both a …

Calcium-dependent protein kinases (CDPKs/CPKs) are key regulators of plant stress
signaling that translate calcium signals into cellular responses by phosphorylating diverse …

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 …

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 …

Abstract Submergence-1 (Sub 1), a major quantitative trait locus affecting tolerance to
complete submergence in lowland rice (Oryza sativa), contains two or three ethylene …

Flooding is a widespread phenomenon that drastically reduces the growth and survival of
terrestrial plants. The dramatic decrease of gas diffusion in water compared with in air is a …
