Title: Aerenchyma formation and recovery from hypoxia of the flooded root system of nodulated soybean Author: Thomas, André Luis; Carmello-guerreiro, S.M.; Sodek, Ladslav Year: 2005 Is part of: Annals of Botany, v. 96, p. 1191 - 1198 DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/aob/mci272 Citation: Thomas, André Luis; Carmello-guerreiro, S.M.; Sodek, Ladslav; Aerenchyma formation and recovery from hypoxia of the flooded root system of nodulated soybean. Annals of Botany, v.96, p. 1191-1198, 2005 Abstract: Background and Aims Flooding results in hypoxia of the root system to which N-2 fixation of nodulated roots can be especially sensitive. Morphological adaptions, such as aerenchyma formation, can facilitate the diffusion of oxygen to the hypoxic tissues. Using soybean, the aim of the study was to characterize the morphological response of the nodulated root system to flooding and obtain evidence for the recovery of N metabolism.
