Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: Phosphorus (P) deficiency is a major limitation to plant growth. Under several abiotic stresses, including P deficiency, upland cereal crops, such as maize, are well known to develop lysigenous aerenchyma, a root tissue containing gas spaces. Contrary to upland species, rice develops aerenchyma constitutively. Nevertheless, aerenchyma in rice is also enhanced by several abiotic stresses, including P...
