As a result, many man-made and natural ecosystems have become flood-prone. For plants, the main consequence of flooding is the drastic reduction of oxygen availability that restricts respiratory energy production and finally affects survival. Flooding can negatively influence crop production and wild plant distributions, since most plants are sensitive to excessively wet conditions. However, plants have evolved a broad spectrum of adaptive responses to oxygen deficiency that eventually leads to tolerance. Many of these morphological and physiological adaptations have been described in some crops and wild plant species and considerable progress has been made in understanding the molecular aspects governing tolerance traits. Moreover, the molecular mechanism of plant oxygen sensing has been recently elucidated. However, many other aspects concerning plant acclimation responses to flooding remain unanswered.BotanyPlantssubmergencehypoxiaAnoxialow oxygenwaterloggingfloodingBotany.Plants.Rashmi Sasidharanauth1364351Perata PierdomenicoVoesenek RensSasidharan RashmiPucciariello ChiaraWaSeSSWaSeSSUkMaJRU9910136275003321Plant responses to flooding3385551UNINA
