“…Our results corroborate that narrow and thin leaves are common features in amphibious and emergent plants as adaptive response to submergence, as shown in e.g. Rumex palustris (Mommer et al 2005) and Melaleuca cajuputi (Tanaka et al 2011). In the aquatic environment, the absorption of light and dissolved gases is enhanced by an increased surface area to volume ratio, which is accomplished by thinner, lobed, and dissected leaves (e.g.…”

Aims The carnivorous Utricularia (Lentibulariaceae) has an anatomically simple and seemingly rootless vegetative body. It occupies a variety of wetlands and inland waters and shows a broad range of life forms. Here, we aimed to elucidate structural and functional traits in various hydric conditions. Furthermore, we intended to evaluate morpho-anatomical adaptations in correlation with life forms. Methods Morpho-anatomical characteristics typical for hydrophytes of all life forms were investigated by light microscopy on 13 Utricularia taxa, compared to one Pinguicula and two Genlisea taxa, and assessed by multivariate analyses. Results Vegetative structures of Utricularia and Genlisea showed reduced cortical, supporting, and vascular tissues. With increasing water table, leaves were thinner, and narrower or dissected, and submerged organs tended to contain chloroplasts in parenchymatic and epidermal cells. In some main stolons, an endodermis with Casparian strips was visible. Large gas chambers, including a novel ‘crescent’ and a special ‘hollow’ aerenchyma pattern, were found in amphibious to free-floating taxa. Conclusions The evolutionary transfer of carnivory from aerial to subterranean organs in Genlisea, and even more in Utricularia, coincides with a highly simplified anatomy, which is adapted to a broad variety of hydric conditions and compensates for structural innovations in the uptake of nutrients.

Trees growing in wetlands develop adventitious roots from the trunk during the rainy season and adapt to the flooded environment by forming primary (schizogenous or lysigenous) and secondary aerenchyma in the roots. Therefore, it is necessary to clarify the formation process of each type of aerenchyma in these adventitious roots. In this study, saplings of Syzygium kunstleri (King) Bahadur and R.C.Gaur were grown under four different treatments, and a total of 12 adventitious roots generated from trunks were used to clarify the distribution of each aerenchyma type in the roots using light or epi-florescence microscopy. Schizogenous aerenchyma was observed in the root tips where the root color was white or light brown, whereas lysigenous aerenchyma was found at some distance from the root tip where the root color gradually changed from light to dark brown. The secondary aerenchyma and periderm were observed in dark brown parts near the root base. None or only one layer of phellem cells was detected in the white roots near the root tip, but dark brown roots near the root base had at least three layers of phellem cells. Considering these results, oxygen transportation may occur between primary and secondary aerenchyma at the point where two or more layers of phellem cells are formed.

“…Other adaptations of roots include the formation of hypertrophic lenticels and floodadapted roots with aerenchyma (Bertolde et al 2010;Tanaka et al 2011;Alves et al 2013). Hypertrophic growth is the swelling of tissues at the stem base and is believed to result from radial cell division and expansion.…”

More precipitation in the form of rain in winter together with deteriorated ditch networks may expose drained peatland forestry to winter or spring waterlogging in boreal forests. The response of main boreal forest species on soil waterlogging is important for predicting forest productivity and justifying the demand for ditch network maintenance. In this study, the aim was to find out the physiological and growth responses of 1-year-old Norway spruce (Picea abies (L.) Karst.), silver birch (Betula pendula Roth) and pubescent birch (Betula pubescens Ehrh.) seedlings subjected to one-month waterlogging at the end of the dormancy phase, and to find out the morphology, physiology and growth of silver birch and pubescent birch seedlings subjected to one-month waterlogging at the beginning of the growing season.Two experiments were carried out in growth chambers. In experiment 1, Norway spruce seedlings were subjected to either no waterlogging or waterlogging for one month at 2 o C, after which a six-week follow-up growing season allowed the seedlings to recover. In experiment 2, silver birch and pubescent birch seedlings went through a four-week dormancy (weeks 1-4), a four-week early growing season (weeks 5-8), and a four-week late growing season (weeks 9-12). The treatments were 1) no waterlogging throughout the experiment (NW); 2) four-week waterlogging during dormancy (Dormancy waterlogging, DW); 3) four-week waterlogging during the early growing season (Growth waterlogging, GW); and 4) four-week dormancy waterlogging followed by four-week growth waterlogging during the early growing season (DWGW).Dormancy waterlogging reduced root volume and increased root mortality, but did not affect dark-acclimated chlorophyll fluorescence (F v /F m ) or the biomass of leaves, stems and roots in Norway spruce. Root biomass and root hydraulic conductance (K r ) of silver birch was reduced but aboveground organs were not affected by dormancy waterlogging. On the contrary, in pubescent birch root morphology, biomass and K r were not affected, but gas exchange was reduced by dormancy waterlogging. However, the biomass of leaves and stems was not negatively affected in pubescent birch. In conclusion, these tree species can tolerate a one-month winter waterlogging well.Growth waterlogging led to the reduction of stomatal conductance (g s ), and thus the reduction of light-saturated photosynthesis rate (A max ) in both birch species, although recovery was seen during the follow-up growing season. It also led to lower leaf area in both birch species. Growth waterlogging led also to decreased the K, Ca, Mg, Mn and B contents of leaves in silver birch, whereas in pubescent birch only Ca and Mg contents were decreased. In pubescent birch, fine cluster roots, the incidence of non-glandular trichomes, and stem lenticels were increased by growth waterlogging. However, silver birch did not show such acclimation to waterlogging. In conclusion, growth waterlogging caused more negative effects to both birch species than dormancy waterl...
