Other claims from this paper (8)
- Observation Rice formed aerenchyma in aerobic conditions, with further induction under oxygen deficiency.
- Observation Maize developed aerenchyma only under oxygen-deficient conditions.
- Association OsACO5 expression was high in aerobic wild-type rice but absent in rcn1.
- Mechanism The authors suggest OsACO5 contributes to aerenchyma formation in aerated rice roots.
- Observation ACO genes were weakly expressed in maize roots under aerobic conditions.
- Intervention effect ACC treatment did not effectively induce ethylene production in aerobic maize roots, unlike rice.
- Intervention effect ACC treatment did not effectively induce aerenchyma formation in aerobic maize roots, unlike rice.
- Observation Rice root aerenchyma formed faster and to a greater extent than maize after oxygen deficiency began.
