Does suberin accumulation in plant roots contribute to waterlogging tolerance?
Plants that are adapted to waterlogged conditions develop aerenchyma in roots for ventilation. Some wetland plant species also form an apoplastic barrier at the outer cell layers of roots that reduces radial oxygen loss (ROL) from the aerenchyma and to prevent toxic compounds from entering the root....
