Aerenchyma or aeriferous parenchyma [1] or lacunae, is a modification of the parenchyma to form a spongy tissue that creates spaces or air channels in the leaves, stems and roots of some plants, which allows exchange of gases between the shoot and the root. [2]

2003年10月24日 · Aerenchyma is the term given to plant tissues containing enlarged gas spaces exceeding those commonly found as intracellular spaces. It is formed in the roots and shoots of wetland species and in some dryland species in adverse conditions, either constitutively or because of abiotic stress.

Aerenchyma is a spongy tissue that forms spaces/air channels in the leaves, stems, and roots of halophytic plants (Santos et al., 2016). The presence of aerenchymatic tissues helps in exchange of gases between the shoot and the root systems.

2013年1月1日 · Here, we summarize the characteristics of primary aerenchyma (schizogenous and lysigenous aerenchymas) and secondary aerenchyma types, and present recent advances in understanding the mechanisms of lysigenous aerenchyma formation.

…a type of tissue called aerenchyma, which contains air spaces produced by separation, tearing, or dissolution of the cortex cell walls. Cortical cells in herbaceous stems, young woody stems, and stems of succulents (cacti and other fleshy plants) contain chloroplasts and can therefore convert carbon dioxide and water to simple…

2013年10月1日 · This paper reviews the recent progress in the study of aerenchyma formation, and highlights the role that primary aerenchyma in cereal crops and secondary aerenchyma in soybean can play in improving their tolerance to flooding.

2008年6月28日 · Aerenchyma can also increase methane loss from waterlogged sediments via plants to the atmosphere. This review of the formation and functioning of aerenchyma particularly emphasises research findings since 1992 and highlights prospects for the future.

2019年1月9日 · Aerenchyma formation is a major physiological and morphological adaptation of plants to waterlogging or flooding conditions (Jiang et al., 2010).

Aerenchyma tissues form gas-conducting tubes that provide roots with oxygen under hypoxic conditions. Although aerenchyma have received considerable attention in Zea mays, the signaling events and genes controlling aerenchyma induction remain elusive.

2020年2月18日 · The main difference between chlorenchyma and aerenchyma is that chlorenchyma is a form of parenchyma, containing chloroplasts, but aerenchyma is another form of parenchyma, containing large air spaces.
