Programmed cell death in cryo-exposed embryonic axes
A study of silver maple cools embryonic axes to liquid nitrogen temperatures without prior dehydration or cryoprotection treatments and thaws them rapidly.
Radial O2-loss barrier induction and arenchyma formation
Radial O2-loss barrier induction and arenchyma formation Many wetland species form both aerenchyma and a barrier to radial oxygen loss (ROL) in roots, which enhance internal O2 diffusion to the root apex. Shiono et al...
