Book ChapterDOI
Aeration in Higher Plants
TL;DR: This chapter collates the mathematical approaches to the aeration process and explains the concepts of modeling in a simplified manner, which have culminated in the modeling of the oxygen movements within the plant.
Journal ArticleDOI
The anatomical characteristics of roots and plant response to soil flooding
TL;DR: It is suggested that cubic: hexagonal zonal ratios in roots may reflect a balance between respiratory and mechanical needs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Oxygen Distribution in Wetland Plant Roots and Permeability Barriers to Gas-exchange with the Rhizosphere: a Microelectrode and Modelling Study with Phragmites australis
TL;DR: The sub-apical decline in ROL appeared to coincide with the appearance of aerenchyma in the cortex but thin walled ‘passage areas’ (windows) in the hypodermal/epidermal cylinder persisted locally and remained leaky to oxygen to some degree.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radial Oxygen Losses from Intact Rice Roots as Affected by Distance from the Apex, Respiration and Waterlogging
TL;DR: Radial oxygen losses from the roots of intact rice plants were assayed by the cylindrical Pt electrode technique and indicated a concomitant decrease in root wall permeability was associated with the appearance of cortical lacunae at 2–3 cm from the apex.

TL;DR: The use of plants in remediation of soil and unconfined groundwater contaminated with organic materials is appealing for a variety of reasons: plants provide a remediation strategy that utilizes solar energy; vegetation is aesthetically pleasing; plant samples can be harvested and tested as indicators of the level of remediation; plants help contain the region of contamination by removing water from soil; rhizosphere microbial communities are able to biodegrade a wide variety of organic contaminants; and many plants have mechanisms for transporting oxygen to the root zone as mentioned in this paper.
