The extent of
aerenchyma development in all experiments was quantified by tissue porosity measurements by pycnometry, similar to the method described by Jensen et al.
One possibility is that following lysigenous
aerenchyma formation in wheat roots, some degree of root function is lost even though the capacity to precipitate ions is retained (just as minerals will precipitate around a pipe connected with a more highly oxygenated area).
Research is needed to determine whether genotypic differences in
aerenchyma development and other root characteristics related to waterlogging tolerance are associated with root ethylene production or the response to ethylene accumulation.
Crown roots of hypoxic plants produced
aerenchyma, and this was more extensive in waterlogging-tolerant Savannah.
The leaf improved capacity to C[O.sub.2] uptake and diffusion can be related to the stomata and
aerenchyma responses under Cd contamination.

It composed of epidermis,
aerenchyma, septa, inner cortex with sclerenchyma and parenchymatous cells, and vascular bundle (Figure 17).
The emission of greenhouse gases across the water-air interface relies primarily on diffusion, ebullition, and internal transmission in aquatic plants
aerenchyma [48].
Distinct mechanisms for
aerenchyma formation in leaf sheaths of rice genotypes displaying a quiescence or escape strategy for flooding tolerance.
Root growth,
aerenchyma development, and oxygen transport in rice genotypes subjected to drought and waterlogging.
