How unique is the low-oxygen response? An analysis of the anaerobic response during germination and comparison with abiotic stresses in rice and Arabidopsis

Plants face a variety of environmental stresses and have evolved molecular mechanisms to survive these challenges. One of these stresses is low-oxygen conditions, which can occur under flooding stress. Rice (Oryza sativa) is somewhat unique for its ability to tolerate and even germinate under low to...
