Mechanisms of lysigenous aerenchyma formation under abiotic stress

Lysigenous aerenchyma is a gas space created by cortical cell death that enables efficient oxygen diffu-sion within plants and reduces the energy costs associated with root cells. Recent studies have demon-strated the benefits of aerenchyma formation under flooding, drought, and nutrient deficiency, although further studies will be necessary to understand the mechanisms involved.

Automated summary

Lysigenous aerenchyma created by cortical cell death facilitates efficient oxygen diffusion within plants and reduces energy costs. Studies have shown benefits of aerenchyma formation under various conditions, but further research is needed to understand the involved mechanisms.
