Other claims from this paper (11)
- Observation Leaves of Corynephorus canescens have a thick-walled epidermis and a bilayered hypodermis.
- Observation Flooded Corynephorus canescens leaves showed signs of destruction of cells in the photosynthetic parenchyma.
- Observation Photosynthetic parenchyma cells of Corynephorus canescens changed shape and formed protuberances at the cell poles under flooding.
- Intervention effect Flooding almost doubled the area of the aerenchyma in Corynephorus canescens leaves.
- Observation Ultrastructure and trichome density on the adaxial leaf surface of Corynephorus canescens were similar in flooded and control plants.
- Intervention effect Flooded Corynephorus canescens plants formed cuticular wax structures on the epidermal surface of the leaves.
- Observation Amorphous and small crystalline silicon inclusions were present in the periclinal walls of the main epidermal cells of Corynephorus canescens leaves.
- Observation Amorphous silicon inclusions were present in the leaf trichomes of Corynephorus canescens.
- Intervention effect Relative silicon content along the trichomes of Corynephorus canescens leaves increased after flooding.
- Mechanism Phenotypic plasticity of Corynephorus canescens is assumed to be realized through increasing aerenchyma area in leaves and increasing silicon content in trichomes.
- Mechanism The phenotypic plasticity of Corynephorus canescens is assumed to optimize oxygen and water balance and increase resistance to prolonged flooding.
