The majority of eukaryotic organisms rely on molecular oxygen for respiratory energy production
1 . When the supply of oxygen is compromised, a variety of acclimation responses are …

Transcription factors belonging to the APETALA 2/Ethylene R esponsive F actor ( AP 2/ ERF
) family are conservatively widespread in the plant kingdom. These regulatory proteins are …

Highlights • High ethylene, hypoxia and sugar signalling coordinate responses to submergence.
• Rice tolerance to submergence relies on SUB1A and/or SNORKEL genes. • Anaerobic …

Plant life is greatly impaired under conditions of oxygen deficit. Only few plants can grow in
waterlogged soils, thanks to anatomical adaptation allowing the transport of oxygen to the …

Plants often experience challenging hypoxic conditions imposed by soil waterlogging or
complete flooding. In rice, Sub1A, a flooding‐induced ethylene responsive factor (ERF) plays a …

Plants seem to take up exogenous RNA that was artificially designed to target specific genes,
followed by activation of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery. It is, however, not known …

Plant-specific group VII Ethylene Response Factor (ERF) transcription factors have emerged
as pivotal regulators of flooding and low oxygen responses. In rice (Oryza sativa), these …

Sugars act as signaling molecules, whose signal transduction pathways may lead to the
activation or inactivation of gene expression. Whole-genome transcript profiling reveals that the …

• Anthocyanins are secondary metabolites, which play an important role in the physiology of
plants. Both sucrose and hormones regulate anthocyanin synthesis. Here, the interplay …

Rice (Oryza sativa) seeds can germinate in the complete absence of oxygen. Under anoxia,
the rice coleoptile elongates, reaching a length greater than that of the aerobic one. In this …
