Other claims from this paper (5)
- Observation Subterranean roots had schizo-lysigenous aerenchyma.
- Observation Aerenchyma cell walls lacked three measured polymer groups.
- Mechanism The absence of these wall polymers may contribute to cell collapse and loss of adhesion.
- Observation Aerenchyma formation appeared non-constitutive.
- Observation Solute transport persisted in floating and subterranean roots.
