| A common response of roots to anoxia is the synthesis of a subset of anaerobic proteins related to the glycolytic and fermentation pathways. |
| Indeed, rice coleoptiles are one of the few plant organs that can grow under anoxia. |
| Surprisingly, the bulk of leaf tissue remained green and without visible etiolation under anoxia. |
| In this model run, anoxia is triggered by halving the O2 content of the downwelling water. |
| Tolerance to anoxia is relevant to wetland species, rice cultivation and transient waterlogging of agricultural crops. |
| Therefore, it is not possible to estimate by extrapolation the O 2 concentration in the water resulting in anoxia in the lacunae. |
